Angående høstoppdateringen i morra, så tikket det inn en pressemelding her. Jeg siterer:
Expanded HD Display and Video Playback Options
· With 1080p resolution, gamers now have the ability to enjoy both game and video content in the best HD resolution currently available.
· Expanded video playback options increase the ways gamers can enjoy video content on Xbox 360. It is now possible to stream WMV video from a Windows PC running Windows Media Player 11 or Windows Media Connect.
· Gamers can now play video files from data CDs and DVDs, as well as from storage devices like USB 2.0 flash drives and Xbox 360 Memory Units.
· Xbox 360 will support 50hz HDTV display modes, providing viewers greater choice in how they watch DVD and HD DVD content.
Xbox Live Arcade Enhancements
· Keeping up to date on Xbox Live Arcade games is now even more convenient with the ability to automatically download newly released Xbox Live Arcade trial games. This eliminates the need to manually search for new downloads on Xbox Live Marketplace each time a new game trial is released.
· Fast Enumeration of Games. You’ll see the games in your Xbox Live Arcade collection appear almost instantly. Get in and play right away.
· With so many games to choose from, Xbox Live Arcade added new sorting options such as “Recently Played” and “By Category.” These enhancements make managing Xbox Live Arcade collections faster and easier than ever.
· A new expanded Friends Leaderboard within Xbox Live Arcade allows gamers to compare themselves directly against their friends and view leaderboard details of their top-10 friends.
· A new expanded Achievements View within Xbox Live Arcade lets gamers view their full Achievement details for their Arcade games including descriptions, icons, allotted Gamerscore and more, right from the Xbox Live Arcade dashboard interface.
· The “Play Now” launch feature has been streamlined. Selecting “Play Now” after downloading a game in Xbox Live Marketplace now bypasses Arcade and takes you directly to the game.
· Xbox Live Arcade now offers a “Tell a Friend” feature. Select this from the game info screen to send any friend on your friends list a message telling them about the Arcade game.
XNA Support
· Amateur game designers will be able to test and play the games they create using XNA Game Studio Express on their Xbox 360 systems when it launches later this year (separate download and subscription required).
Det var tingene de trakk frem i meldingen, og den fullstendige lista finner dere her. Jeg er veldig fornøyd, masse smårask som har irritert meg som blir fikset nå.

Noen som har noen nyheter om HD-DVD-addonen? Kunne tenke meg en 360 og en HD-DVD-spiller, men utvalget i Europa er elendig, for å si det mildt. Tviler sterkt på at den er sonefri, og ingen har klart å hacke boxen ennå, såvidt jeg har hørt.
Det vil kanskje være mulig å kjøpe addonen fra USA, siden den bare kobles til 360-en via USB. Håper ikke det er lagt inn noen begrensninger på det.

Interessant, men dettte gjør en ny HDD mer aktuell en noen gang. 20 GB er ikke mange timer film i HD-kvalitet. Jeg antar at Premium-utgaver etter jul vil leveres med harddisk med større kapasitet, jeg tipper 80 GB. Den vil nok også erstatte dagens standalone 20 GB i butikkene med samme pris. Spørsmålet er bare hvordan gamle brukere smertefritt skal kunne overføre saves og nedlastbart materiale til en ny disk...
Ellers, hva blir prisen og kan man få filmene til odel og eie? Det er sikkert mulig for filmselskapene å legge inn begrensinger i antall ganger man kan se en film eller en ren tidsbegrensning...
Edit: Begynte å tenke litt på hva jeg er villig til å betale for dette på X360/PS3 når alternativene er videobutikken, kinoen og ulovlig nedlasting. 30 kr. for leie og 80 kr. for å eie vil være en grei pris for en film. En TV-episode bør ikke koste mer enn en fjerdedel av filmprisen.

Jepp, du kan se den så mange ganger du vil i løpet av 24 timer om jeg forstår IGN rett. Omtrent samme vilkår som i en vanlig videobutikk altså. IGN antar $6 (ca. 40 kr.) for HD-versjon og $4 (ca. 26 kr.) for SD-versjon som er omtrent hva jeg er villig til å betale. $3 (20 kr.) for å se en TV-episode er for mye etter min mening.

Edit: SITAT Ok, da er ikke prisen på TV-program så verst likevel.
