Default new xbox experience out now!!!!!

so who downloaded it? i got it and its pretty cool, but i find installing games pointless since you have to leave the disk in.

are you able to download full games with it now? I know they have netflix. MS should really come out with being able to downlaod new games using those MSpoints instead of needing to go out and buy them. Save it to the hard drive

Dave, you can download games for the arcade and from the original xbox. but you will still need teh 360 disks to play

and the reason for downloading the 360 games to the HD is so that loading times are faster. i know in Dead Space, loading between chapters takes about 3-5 mins for me. so it should cut down on the load times ten fold.

im downloading the new experiecne now as i am typing this...i will give my review in an hour

I'm at work so I haven't updated yet. Should be a cool update though with all the new features. I'm gonna have to get Netflix again since you can stream movies to the Xbox.

I like it, but then again I also have a Wii, so the whole character creation thing was still cool. I look sweet as an enormous-headed monster of a human.

I have a PS3, suckas! We've been able to download full games for at least 6 months. And the only real updates we get now are security updates

Mines the same name as on the forums but its pointless to add me because i never renewed my gold membership haha. So I'm pretty much a useless friend to have on there

Netflix sucks, hardcore.

Their streaming catalogue is far less than what they have available to ship, not to mention that the quality of streaming video is that of a VHS tape, even with an excellent connection.

If you're planning on getting Netflix just for the 360, save your money.

I have been downloading blu-ray disc movies to my xbox for over 3 months now....
It's sad how the public thinks all of this stuff is SOOO high-tech, when they have no idea.
