^ At first it showed me 59mins.. but later came down to 30.. so am guessing an average of 40mins on a 256kbps connection.

 

No idea what has changed with this update..and those buggers are claiming they'll be able to do seamless updates my foot!

Started the update at 1:05. It's 1:45 now. It's only about 65-70% done :). This sucks man, and i'm on a 1mb line.

 

edit: All right guys, the update is done. Took me one whole hour to do it on my 1mb Airtel connection ;). No apparent changes noticed yet. So i'm guessing the new update might be more stable and hopefully the final built that will be released onto the public.

Holy Cow !! I just noticed a tiny, but neat trick with the NXE avatars.

 

You must know by now that yo9u can control your avatar's head with the right analog stick. I was fooling around with it and noticed that the avatar's facial expressions change wdepending on the movement. When you rotate the stick rapidly in circles, the avatar's mouth takes on a pukey expression and his eyeball rotate in a dazed expression.

 

If you shake in the stick rapidly from left to right in a "no no no" sorta way, his face turns angry and he bares his teeth menacingly.

 

:rofl2: Its hilarious.

Is there no catch??

 

Can you, for say, take a friend's game, rip it to your hard drive....and thats it???

 

Doesn't seem very....I dont know....Microsoft

 

The disc needs to be in the tray in order to be played!

[Yup, even if you've installed it on the HDD]
