Microsoft is installing a new update to all 360’s connected to live, on November 19th.

 

The coolest part I thought about it other than the better looking opening screen is the “install-to-drive” part. This allows you to dump all of a games content into the hard drive and play the game from there. You still have to have the disk in the xbox to verify you have the game, but this doesn’t mean the disk will be constantly spinning while in there. It doesn’t run the disk at all, making the system virtually silent, and it makes loading time much faster.

wow this is pretty sick actually
you know what im super NOT pumped about though
i hate it when people come to your house and your playing xbox and they always want to set up a gamer account if they don't have one and it takes like 10 minutes and its really annoying... well now with the new avatars its gonna take like 2 hours cause everyone NEEDS to make one. i have a wii too and that was always the most annoying thing about it. oh well tho, other than that this new update's pretty sick

dude, that's like i got this update for Vista a few weeks ago, and now i don't even need to put the discs in my drive to play all my Microsoft games, i just click on them and they start playing, whereas before, if i forgot to put the disc in, it would tell me i had to put it in to play. it's so convenient for when i'm in the mood to tear shit up!

Personally, I think the 3-D avatars are gay.

BUT! This is an amazing update. In addition to all the great features people have already said I hear that the have reworks the friends system. Im not sure about anything spicific (im downloading it right now) but I've been told that they are making it so that you can go into private chat with more than just 1 other person. Which is great, because I hate it when I'm playing match making and I have to listen/mute all the other players in the party.

The experience is the shit. My avatar is a baller. Could use more clothing options.  Awesome improvement though. Love how you can have a party and you can still play what ever you want

the real bonus for people like me is the bigger list of resolutions to display. new widescreen formats are supported like 1440x900 and 1680x1050. more screenage = better looking.

Uh, not sure if you're serious or not but whatever...

To go wireless you need an adapter, and that shit costs 100 bucks where i live. You can go to a game store and buy a card with like 1, 3, 6, or 12 months on it, or you can make a subscription on xbox.com or through the xbox screen.
