Now this is cool (posted on Major Nelson): Play from hard drive. Copy your games from the game disc and play directly from the hard drive. Not only will the drive not spin, but load times are quicker, as well. Of course, you will still need the disc in the tray to prove you own the game.

good thanks ortho. Too busy with work to play h3 recently :( we'll hopefully meet in cold storage one evening soon. btw - I'm also looking forward to having full access to the netflix library via the 360... the current selection (though the world's largest) is still somewhat average.
Ortho [7/15/2008 12:31:01 PM]
wow that sounds like a kickA update...just read it. how's everyone doing?

I like the new 'play from hard drive' feature of the soon-to-be-updated dashboard - http://majornelson.com/archive/2008/07/14/some-of-the-features-in-the-new-xbox-experience-8-person-chat-vga-plus-more.aspx

dotRedcoat [7/5/2008 7:57:51 AM]
sweeeeet - just in time to grab the new 'chill out' remake on Monday. :) c u online.
Ortho [7/5/2008 12:11:54 AM]
nope, i think you're totally wrong man. clemson is gonna be whupped up on. Saban is a tough coach. I think it'll be a piece of cake. btw, i've gotten my 360 back good as new and renewed my gold subscription (free month). just got a vehicular manslaughter on a ghost (12 splats) the other day. yeah, it was sweeeet
dotRedcoat [6/19/2008 2:32:31 PM]
FYI - the ncaa fottbal 09 demo is on the marketplace. maybe you can play as clemson and whip bama, simulating the opening game of the season. ;)

good to hear that Anise still has a job - and good to hear that your 360 got fixed ok too. I've personally been pretty pleased with MS's 360 repair service and what they're doing to ease the RROD pain of some. Goodness only knows what the next evo of the xbox will be. I'm guessing a blu-ray external player and then on to the next version of the 360... my guess is 4Gb RAM, 500Gb HD, Internal blu-ray, and some kick-a processing and graphics power.

Who's gonna see Indy and Narnia?? I know I will. woohoo. Oh dot, I saw Anise last night, she's hanging in there still. Courtney graduated with the EA seniors...all twelve of them
Ortho [5/20/2008 8:03:27 PM]
that's good. i am still waiting on the status of my 360. I played Army of Two last night, it's pretty good
Noles [5/17/2008 10:06:21 PM]
Claire is doing great. She's almost 3 months old already and I think she might be teething =/ I recently got back to back promo's at work so I'm supervising now, yeppy! Yea so I work alot more plus I have my new Wii which is pretty fun =) so not much time for the 360. Although I did watch then video of the GoW2 gameplay...got me excited...would be badass to have it on Wii and buy the game and chainsaw lancer for $200 bucks like with GH3, lol. Plus actually doing the motion of chainsawing reverse style...oh and dont forget about curb stomping, hmmmm...would be neat and tiring.
Ortho [5/17/2008 8:28:11 AM]
Noles, how's the baby doing; what rank is she now in Halo 3? btw, my 360 is on it's way to be repaied. hoo-rah
Ortho [5/12/2008 3:48:41 PM]
I can't wait to get back into it all. Just waiting on my shipping box to arrive ;-)
dotRedcoat [5/11/2008 7:35:18 AM]
be sure to view the new GoW2 campaign gameplay footage via the XBLM.
Noles [5/4/2008 2:05:00 AM]
lol eddie....I got a Wii tonight and that was #1 on my list. I like the wheel =)
cool eddie [5/3/2008 8:28:38 PM]
No GTA4, but we have been playing Mario Cart with our little wii remote steering wheels!
dotRedcoat [5/1/2008 8:03:31 AM]
yep - but not just yet - no time or opportunity to play it right now. It's not the kind of game you can play with family around.
Noles [4/30/2008 6:34:58 PM]
I have never owned or even rented a GTA game BUT from what I've read/heard this might be worth a look at. Are you getting it dot?
dotRedcoat [4/29/2008 12:23:31 PM]
so who's getting GTA4?
Noles [4/28/2008 8:58:22 PM]
Ummm...well, I quit playing it once Claire was born and just recently downloaded the PC version so you can have it back anytime....matter of fact I'll drop it off tomorrow on my way home from work. BTW - Hello everyone.
Driven [4/27/2008 9:46:11 PM]
So noles...U beat cod4 yet? when u think be a good time I can come get that?
Ortho [4/26/2008 8:17:21 PM]
i definitely will. just haven't yet
dotRedcoat [4/25/2008 8:35:49 AM]
well that sucks - but Microsoft have replaced my 2 RROD machines without any fuss after I called 18004myxbox. Call them if you haven't already. good luck dude.... you should get your replacement 360 in time to pick up a used copy of GTA4.
Ortho [4/23/2008 6:19:52 PM]
well, it seems my luck has struck out. i have the 3 light RROD. maybe if i send it in i'll have a completely functional one
