@Neo: If you want the older interface, there is no way you can get it. You can have a semblance of it though with the floating blade interface which you can bring up by pressing the Guide button.

 

k, thanks for the info :wOOtjumpy:

Games "not supported" for installation

 

When you try to install these games you'll get an error that says "Installation of this game is not supported."

 

- Burger King trilogy - Big Bumpin, Pocketbike Racer, Sneak King

- Crackdown

- Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball 2

- Quake II (included on Quake IV bonus disk)

 

FAQ/Notes/How to

 

To install a game you simply insert the disc and press the Y button to bring up "Game Details" and then click on the "Install to Hard Drive" option. Installs take about 10 minutes. You'll still need to have the disc in the drive as anti-piracy/verification measure and when ejecting the disc of an installed game you'll be booted back to the dashboard just like normal. As the disc drive (noisiest part of the system) doesn't spin up, your console should sound like it does when playing a Marketplace demo.

 

- The 120GB HDD was slightly faster than 20GB (1 or 2 seconds) in Eurogamers testing, no word on the 60GB yet.
