My small 19" LCD is smilling

hah ur lcd might be smiling but my lcd finally can relieved coz always show with "cramped" display that made something round look like an egg...

thank god there will be 1680 x 1050... no m$ u not god

well I'll still stick with 1280 x 720 ( 720p ). Still not used to such a big screen.

Aah..that what happen to me too. I've been wishing for Xbox360 to support 1440x900 on my display every time there is dashboard update. Finally....

Closer look at the new Dashboard.

guys how about this statement....

One of the not-so-cosmetic changes in the fall update will be the ability to let you play your games directly from the hard disk. The new feature will let users install all of the game content directly onto the hard drive to improve game load times. Microsoft reports that they've seen a 30% improvement in load times in internal testing. As an interesting data point, Microsoft went out of its way to tell a group of reporters that the full Devil May Cry 4 hard disk installation took roughly ten minutes on the Xbox 360. The installation took twice as long when we conducted our own installation tests on the PlayStation 3. Another side benefit of having games installed on the hard disk is reduced noise, as the optical disc no longer needs to spin up. However, you will still have to have the game disc in your optical drive while you’re playing the game, presumably as a piracy check.

i take it from MS E3 2008 New Xbox Experience at gamespot.com

^First time in my life I am hoping for an online activation so that i can play the game without needing the disc.


Microsoft: Bungie announcement 'held back' for special event


Wow...MS is holding on alot of stuff there, which included my beloved new Halo game


Huh?

Blame FF13....poor Bungie.
Well..

X'08?

its a good year for xbox.

What happen to Bungie and Microsoft now???

No la...although Bungie break away from Microsoft but it's not a clean divorce, Bungie still work closely with MS because of a few unfinished games. Thing is Bungie spent alot of time preparing their next project announcement but due to last minute changes MS stop them from revealing the game. MS thought they don't need to reveal everything because of the lackluster E3 performance by the competitor.

So all of the effort gone into waste, eventhough Bungie is independant now but the publisher (MS) still push them around Well, MS is holding the Halo IP.

Anyway, now we can confirm there are 3 Halo games in development.
-Halo Wars (duh)
-Peter Jackson Halo (where~?)
-New bungie Halo!! (rumoured to be squad based shooter without Master Chief)

It's fun but you will need to have a bigger HDD? I'm not sure they are doing like Ps3 or they really intend to install the whole game onto the HDD.
