Xbox Live's First Big Update
GameDaily reports on the first major Xbox Live update since the launch of the Xbox 360. From the article: "The forthcoming update will bring with it a number of additions designed to enhance the user experience, with perhaps the most notable function being the download manager. Currently, when downloading demos, trailers or other items from Marketplace users are tied to the download screen. The update will enable users to queue up and prioritize up to six downloads and users will be allowed to play music, games or do other things on the dashboard while downloads are in progress. If an online game is started, the current download in progress will be paused so as to avoid lag." For the visual among us, Joystiq has a number of screenshots showing off some of the new features.
all the stuff that a PC can do. Actually, not even that.
Seriously, why does Microsoft even *have* a console when all they want to do is make it a PC? Just, I don't know, support your goddamn major cash cow Windows, Microsoft. Stop dividing your company, dividing game makers, and game players. If you'd focus your company you might be able to do things a little better instead of constantly delaying Vista and having major security holes in Windows every week.
This is why Microsoft fails. You people sucking Microsoft's dick may not see the failure, but for those of us on the outside looking in, this is a company that has no clue what it wants to do or how to do it, and is failing on all fronts.
Boy, is this trollish. I'd better click that Anonymous button.
And yes, pedantic fools, I know it's not a button. Eat me.
