Adding or upgrading your adapter will not help. The XBL downloads have traditionally been very slow. I heard that the speeds dramatically improved last week, but whatever they did might have been nullified by the recent reset.
Upgrading to a "G" will help with streaming audio. Upgrading to "A" would only be necessary for Media Center.

Dammit, the leaderboard wipe and restore ate my Hexic score I posted on the 31st. I went from 350k to 520k, and now it's gone. =(
And the Geometry Wars leaderboard still isn't back, although I nearly matched my previous high of 740k with a score of 712k tonight.

Tonite I spent some time playing a 4-player Hearts game with some of the TehBias crew (it is excellent that the game allows players to join in-progress and replace a CPU player instead of waiting forever in the lobby for the game to end).
I know some people think it is silly to use a new $400 360 and spend time playing a $5 4-player Hearts game, but sometimes it is nice to play a game where you can just kick back and chill. Sure, if I had a bunch of friends that played Hearts with voice chat on the PC it would make console Hearts superfluous, but that's not the case for me. If I get a few hours of nice social play out of the game, I consider it money well spent.

I hadn't played Hexic for a couple weeks, so tonight I decided to chill out with it for a bit in hopes that the Geometry Wars leaderboards will be restored soon... Figured I'd go for the Tick-Tock Doc achievement, but ended up dying 10,000 points shy. :'( But it wasn't all for naught -- I got the Collapse Master while going for the other one. Woo!
So I guess there's still no ETA on Crystal Quest or Marble Blast Ultra, huh?

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
Peter Moore said that Street Fighter 2 will be on XBL by March

Peter Moore said:
Counting Hexic, that means there will be five new games between now and March, four of which are known already (Crystal Quest, Marble Blast, Texas Hold 'Em, Street Fighter 2). Six if you don't count Hexic. I guess that's not bad, but I'm really hoping for somewhere around 3-4 new games per month.

Spectator Queue FTW.
But bring on Night Warriors, SF Alpha/Zero series, and a Marvel or X-Men brawler.

sounds awesome
Yeah I would have liked The New Challengers too. I wonder how much Capcom will charge for this? I'm willing to spend 800 points to play this online. Hopefully the online component isn't shoddy.
I may have to buy that DoA4 stick now to use wiht that game and SF2. I don't like the 360 dpad.

What the deuce? It did? I thought it just had SF2, Champion Edition and something else. Then again, I didn't pay attention to it :X
*Goes to look*
Ok. Capcom Classic Collection had SF2, SF2CE and SF2HF. No anniversary there. Hyper Anniversary was released seperately on PS2 in Japan and then again here as part of the Anniversary Collection with 3rd Strike.
So yeah, this is going to be just SF2 Hyper Fighting.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
The version of SFII featured in the Anniversary Collection was cool, but didn't really do much for me. The ability to mix characters from different revisions was sort of dumb, especially since the CPU would always use the Super Turbo version. And the AI was SO much cheaper than it ever was in the original versions.
I really hope that this is a straight port of the arcade SFIIT, similar to Smash TV (other features like co-op are handled in an external menu before launching). Just gives the game a more classic feel.

I think most SF purists agree SF Turbo Hyperfighting was the pinnacle of the SF2 series. No supers, but fast gameplay, and great balance among the characters. This is a 360 killer app for many of my Street Fighter buddies. Now we need to figure out if it's possible to custom make an arcade stick, because I'd like a true American arcade stick, not the Hori.
