New Xbox Experience Goes Live

Posted by Soulskill on from the quick-get-some-of-those-mii-things dept.

Today, Microsoft launched the New Xbox Experience for Xbox Live. The list of new features includes the streaming of TV shows and movies through Netflix, the ability to install games to the HDD, an avatar system, and the Community Games platform. The launch itself was shaky at first, but most issues have been smoothed out. Sony-owned Columbia Pictures immediately pulled their movie selection, though it may return when a licensing deal gets worked out. Halo 3 developer Bungie pointed out that not all games will run faster when installed to a HDD because of the way the games already interact with the drive.

    Some tags are just plain facetious... I personally get a lot of lulz out of them and like it just the way it is. I don't think they're part of any conspiracy.
