Just logged in on Xbox Live with my retail Xbox 360. There is already one game demo available, Nba Live 2006. Weighing a nice 495 Mbytes !
I'm downloading it now at a steady 90 kbytes/s.

Can you see the downloading speed? And does it support resume?

Because Xbox didn't suport resume and you couldn't see what was the speed when downloading a content.

They've released the utility to connect your 360 with your XP/MCE PC.

Directlink - http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/8/5/28521E1E-120E-4D05-8310-3E43F2734431/XboxXPSP2-ENU.exe

It's not just Media Connect per se, but an actualy wizard that walks you through it.

 

[gstaff]

hardcore gamers for sure

 

[Musashi Wins!]

Is there a console made that doesn't feature that whore walking out with it under her arm?

 

[BlueTsunami]

oh shit, Justin Timberlake got it. Theres no telling how many Xbox fans will be influenced by this

 

[Matlock]

Is there a console made that doesn't feature that whore walking out with it under her arm?

Justin Timberlake's a man.

 

[bishoptl]

Don't think she was on the list for a PS2.

 

[Sagitario]

Paris is such a whore...

 

[BlueTsunami]

Don't think she was on the list for a PS2.

Sony based their celebrity list on a VD test they did before launch

 

[GCQuinton]

Justin Timberlake's a man.

:lol

I'm downloading it now at a steady 90 kbytes/s.

I downloaded the Kameo demo the other day, via the XDK Live network, and it was about 512 MBs and took 1.5 hours. Btw, my retail 360 XBL Gamertag is Jim GA

Can you see the downloading speed? And does it support resume?

Because Xbox didn't suport resume and you couldn't see what was the speed when downloading a content.

Yes, you can resume downloads, but no, you can't do much of anything while downloading via the Dashboard. As soon as you try to navigate from the screen it stops the download. I didn't see any sort of download speed reading.

 

[truffleshuffle83]

so can you pause and restart with downloading??

 

[VictimOfGrief]

Looking foward to playing DoA 4 against your jim. It's been too long since I talked to you last... might as well just ham it up on XBL.

 

[Beer Monkey]

Is the friend's list still capped at 100?

 

[Jim]

You can pause/resume downloads yeah.
Not sure about the friend's list cap...

Yes, you can resume downloads,

That fuckin rocks!!!

 

[truffleshuffle83]

its not really that big a deal to me. ill jsut start downloading flip the input and watch tv or a movie or something else, but its nice that they allow that

 

[krypt0nian]

It LIVES....

Not my pics BTW.

 

[Birbo]

Paris is such a whore...

Agreed, but I'd still hit it vengance-style.

 

[truffleshuffle83]

i want collectors edition pics

 

[Keyser Soze]

I'd hit her

Spoiler

with the power brick and run of to play the 360 as she bleeds to death...

 

[Yusaku]

1.5 hours for 500MB? I hope whoever quoted that time had a shitty connection, because for $50 a year I'd expect those downloads to saturate my bandwidth.

 

[krypt0nian]

Grabbing the game in a few hours. Gamestop just got their copies in.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

1.5 hours for 500MB? I hope whoever quoted that time had a shitty connection, because for $50 a year I'd expect those downloads to saturate my bandwidth.

True, I'd knock that out in less than 10 minutes.

Well i also tried to download this demo but i quit. I downloaded about 50% and needed arround 2 hours... Hope they will fix it till launch.

 

[Jesiatha]

Friends list is still limited to 100.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

PD0 is out, we will get impressions tonight. I need to get off of Halo 2. I've been playing every night

 

[Zer0]

holy cow

 

[GhaleonEB]

holy cow

*cries*

It's so beautiful...

 

[Mifune]

How reliable is the Xbox UK magazine?

"From Zero to Hero." I like the sound of that.

 

[hgplayer1]

holy cow

I still dont get the logic behind GIVING these things to celebrities. they fucking have money make them pay for that shit. Ive never wanted to buy anything because I saw some celebrity with it. stupid marketing people

 

[Fifty]

I'll think of those bags when I'm waiting in the cold, dark night for my system like the bitch I am. :lol

thats the thing,these ppl have A LOT OF MONEY,the got everything FREE,and they dont give a shit for the console

 

[newsguy]

Well, I went to my local EB to pick up Condemned, CoD2 ($10 rebate woohoo!) my second set of component cables, and the wireless controller. I noticed they had their demo set up so I played CoD2 and notices there was some seriously crappy image quility on this thing. Sure enough, I hit the menu button and it was running at 480i. being the HDTV whore that I am, I got into the display menu, had the guy flip the switch on the cables from TV to HDTV and made the transformation. Needless to say, it looked crisp and colors were nicer. I was joking with the guy cause he would not let me put in my retail copy into the kiosk, but when I went into the dash and looked through the game saves they had already played Madden, Kameo and PGR3 :lol Anyway, all I can do is stare at the Condemned box and hold the controller in my hand while I imagine the cries of hobos in pain

Hehe, cool.

I'm picking up PDZ and PGR3 today. I already have Kameo and Call of Duty 2 here, but now that I heard I'm getting Kameo along with Madden 2006 from Pepsi, I'll probably go swap the Kameo I do have for either a DOA4 preorder or Tiger Woods 2006 today.

 

[pestul]

NBA Live 2006 demo is available for download on XBL. Lets see how bad this really is..

 

[pxleyes]

I fucking hate celebrities...

They dont even have to pay for the damn console.

 

[AssMan]

I'm sure this was asked a million times already, but how much does the Samsung HDTV run around for and what's the specific name for that the 360 kiosk was using? Thank you.

 

[truffleshuffle83]

ABOUT A GRAND FOR THE 23 INCH

 

[Lo-Volt]

I'm not sure, but I think it's this one?

 

[AssMan]

Thanks guys. Does it support 1080i or am I asking for too much?

 

[GhaleonEB]

I'm not sure, but I think it's this one?

What does "HD-TV Ready" mean?

 

[krypt0nian]

What does "HD-TV Ready" mean?

No over the air tuner included.

 

[Espio]

No sleep for me this weekend.

 

[pestul]

Live is nice looking.. but it's kinda sluggish. I hope the final product isn't as choppy. Just doesn't feel finished.
