New dashboard looks sweet

Hopefully you won't have to go through an Act of Congress just to log in/out now

T-hug · Jul 15, 2008

Someone at SE does have brains after all?

I don't like these "avatars" still the dashboard looks awesome.

NINTENDO DS · Jul 15, 2008

So awesome.
This kills the PS3.

Eternal Myst · Jul 15, 2008

Wow the 360 is getting like 6 rpg's.
No longer can people say the 360 lacks rpg's.

Weird that they didn't mention anything about the new halo.

I'm happy with the conference for the most part. The avatars have me kind of interested. I'd like to find out more about the dashboard and I'm speechless about FFXIII, didn't see that coming. Liking my 360 purchase more every day!

Edit: Woah, play from hard drive?!? I haven't seen that anywhere else, I'd love some clarification on that.

There isn't much clarification to give, it is as simple as it sounds.

QUOTEPlay 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.

Yeah, I was just thinkin that it couldn't possibly be as simple as it sounds but I guess it is. 20 gb is gonna fill up might fast though. Can't wait to see it in motion.

FFXIII did it for me. Now what to decide what my Gamer Tag should be whenever I get a 360.

You would have to import it though, there isn't currently a X360 version coming out in Japan.

shakirmoledina · Jul 15, 2008

it's only 360 tht rocked at the E3 the rest... not so much
Excellence of FF13 on Xbox and brand new ideas
For once, nice work Microsoft

Armadillo · Jul 15, 2008
