Rumored Xbox Live Spring Update List

Could be true I suppose.
I don't really see anything of real interest on there. Some thing are nice-ish, but who cares what's on your gamercard or not?
What I would like is a blade that isn't slow as crap and just "POPS" out with all information ready without delays and let's you navigate everything super-fast, etc. Sluggish UI needs fixing, rest is pretty irrelevant!

In that one interview with Houser about future GTA games on Xbox 360, he said that MSFT was going to implement something within the year that would resolve any technical issues they might have with the next version of the game. It seemed like he was talking about hard drive installs being allowed.
I don't get your logic. So what if old games don't benefit from it? Newer titles would.

Wait, I'll be able to transfer my video files to my 360? Awesome if true

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
I play regularly on a 16:10 monitor and it has never bothered me. I think I have my resolution set to something else, and it looks really good, but then again certain ppl are more suceptible to apect ratio distortion the way I am very susceptible to framerate spikes.
The blade is as fast your connection is when your are signed to XBL. Better connection, fasrer blade.Kobold said:

Its like the PS3 installs. The thing is that the 360 ussually does it during the first load, and it erases whatever you are not playing often without telling you.thrasher said:

My number 1 wish would be the ability to dump the iso to the hardrive of any game, imagine having COD4 GTA4 etc all available straight away and with no Disc drive spinning quiet as well.
MS would sell a tonne of 120gb hard drives as well

Yes if the game was 12 gigs say put half on the HD and the other half on the disc, besides it seems blu ray games pretty much require a HD install anyway!

Lots of polish and bits and pieces in there. The group chat is good, but the limit of 4 is pretty bad - why only four when an in-game lobby like Halo 3 supports 16? Even 8 would be nice.
But at any rate - has a list like this ever actually leaked before? The last two that did so turned out to be BS.

Disabling that shit RIGHT AWAY. One of the worst things added to Live Messenger. I use Mess Patch to get rid of it each time.
That said, I like most of this list. Especially deleting games with 0 achievements/gamerpoints from my profile as that'd clean quite a few games up and make it readable again.
Remember: There are no Microsoft rumours, only leaks.

Have you tried GOTSent? It's worked with 80% of the mkv's I've thrown at it on my PS3 (I haven't tried the files on my 360, but the site says it supports it). If you have a PS3 try MKV2VOB, it's worked with 95% of the mkv's I've used it on (I don't know if the 360 supports VOB's).

No fucking way this shit is real...I mean. Its almost to good to be true. Especially 4 player group chat.
If it did though, WOW. And man time is fucking flying. Wasn't long ago before I read a similar thread about the last update.

4. Copy non-protected files (pictures, music, videos) from USB storage devices, CDs and computers to proprietary storage devices.
I call fake list times 10.

Many weeks ago I thought aloud that I might send an email to the relevent EU Commissioner regarding the absurd hoops you have to go through to remove credit card information from an XBL account. I never actually sent that email, nor did I take the matter any further... but I would like to think I am solely responsible for this feature being added.Teppic said:

And now try NOT to send a mail about the B/C list.
and the 4 person group chat thing is awesome. No need to have 3 channels and hop between the channels when you want to decide on a game with some friends. Nice one.
The Donation thing is also awesome. REAL Tournaments now.

What the hell is 16:10? Did I miss something?
For people with PC monitors which display 16:10 instead of the 16:9 standard.Eteric Rice said:
And I should add, antiquated monitors, as the decent 16:10 monitors will compensate by stretching or adding black bars. Those expecting the 360 to completely re-render every game in a completely new aspect ratio are fucking bonkers.

It was believable up to the installations and motion sensor calibration
Nuclear Muffin said:It was believable up to the installations and motion sensor calibration
Exactly what I am still thinking about. But as someone stated before I dont want to believe someone put SUCH an effort into it to make a huuuuge list just to fool the internet. Maybe "Lips" is the new motion sensing input advice.
hehe =p

Awesome! Where do I sign up?!
Yeah, don't we get one (or more) of these 'leaks' before every update, and then it turns out to be bullshit? Yes, yes we do.FFChris said:
But if this particular leak isn't true, then I feel particularly sorry for the very sad individual who invented and typed all that bullshit. Why the hell would you do that? Some weird individuals out there.

Yeah, if it is true I don't see why they can't just let us delete what we want. I have shitty games that were rented on my gamercard that I don't want there and would like to delete them along with the gamerscore.
Also, what's the deal with DRM? Is that supposed to be a fix or not?

I am glad that they are opening up installation of game data to the Xbox 360 HDD. More developers will take advantage of it and not just Square with FFXI . Developers can choose to install the game or use the easy to use caching facility (it makes the job easier for multi-platform titles which develop their engine to perform either without any cached/installed data or with HDD based custom installation of game data).
A negative side-effect will be the same as you experience on PS3, more games pushing for installation and more HDD space needed... not bad points for MS which should make quite a bit of profit off each Xbox 360 HDD sold.
