Here are a couple interesting takeaways from our tour of the New Xbox Experience:


  • "There's nothing to announce" right now regarding a keyword search for the Marketplace. Let's hope they either a) add one in or b) drastically improve how we find things

  • Playing games from the hard drive will work fine for multi-disc games; in fact, you can pick which discs you want to rip (for example, we're superstitious and we'd only rip odd-numbered discs).

  • As an example, we were told that Devil May Cry 4 is approximately a 4 or 5GB installation and took about ten minutes.

  • You'll need to keep the disc in the drive the entire time. This is about speeding up load times (and hey, bonus tip: no more noisy DVD drive while you're playing!)

  • The alerts look the same – actually, like the entire interface, they look sharper, cleaner. Oh, and the sound is the same.

  • Yes, you can still use your gamertag pics and your themes (in fact, they look a lot better now!)

I think the guide looks pretty sick .. I'm liking what i see of this whole new update.

To enhance the Xbox Live experience and to experience the great Xbox Live Community. I bet you anything that would be your answer if you asked it to the guy in the video.

Wrong. The disc has to be in all the time to make sure you still own it. It just wont be doing anything.

No... You have to keep the disk in the drive the whole time... Or else people would rent games and just rip it and return it. Keeping the game forever.

I don't think there's a set date for this and you probably already know it's in Fall of this year.

There's still a huge chance that it'll get delayed...

Doubt it, they didn't release a Spring Update just to work on this, they've been working on this for a long time now.

^ Lol, let's all give his negative rep. He's not coming back anyway. And he left Xbox 360 in a spamming fury.
