- MetalHead73, on 10/09/2008, -27/+74I'm more excited about Halo 3: Recon
New hero.
New Campaign.
A prologue to Halo 3, hell to the yeah. - Scuds14, on 10/09/2008, -3/+48I'm just looking forward to the "Party Chat" or whatever it's called, so we don't have to listen to the throngs of 12 year olds complain and attempt to talk trash when we smoke them in Halo.
- Swingdown, on 10/09/2008, -4/+46Don't digg him down for asking a honest question. Boo
- Recidivus, on 10/09/2008, -1/+38Well, I hope your date works out fine, first times can be nerve wracking.

I was excited for Halo 3. Then it came out and was... more of the same, if not completely boring.
Mind you, am only playing local campaign/multiplayer here, so guess I'm missing out on 80% of the game which is online. - chadillak, on 10/09/2008, -1/+28you may want to look into freezing yourself.
- Azerael, on 10/09/2008, -4/+28No. "International" means it comes to everyone except Australia.
- garyman99, on 10/09/2008, -5/+27Sweet!!!!
Now WTF is the Xbox Experience? - fuse13, on 10/09/2008, -1/+23I SEND YOU LOOOOVE
- DESX, on 10/09/2008, -4/+25Just copying and pasting from Wiki. A little background info for those of you who don't know some of the new feature's that this update will be bringing.
" At E3 2008, it has been announced that all Xbox 360 members, Gold and Silver, will be receiving a new dashboard update this holiday that will add many new features.
One of the many feature will have the ability to watch streaming movies and TV shows from Netflix onto the Xbox 360. This feature will be free to Xbox Live Gold members with Netflix Unlimited, and once enabled, users will be able to watch with their friends in a party with up to 8 players. Xbox Live members will have the ability to pick from over 10,000 movies and episodes, as if they were to choose on the website.[22] But, when a player parties up with a group, they would also have the ability to join games together or view a slideshow of photos.
Another one of the features would give players an option to create avatars. This is similar to the Mii avatars used for the Wii console. Players would be able to customize from changing body shape, facial features, hair and clothes, as being able to download more clothing from the Xbox Live Marketplace.[23] Another feature is the ability to install an entire game disc onto the Xbox 360's hard drive, which will decrease loading times. The disc for the installed game must still be present in the drive for verification.[24]
During the Press Conference at E3, Microsoft announced Xbox Live Primetime, a series of scheduled programs where Xbox Live members can play against each other. The first announced game is an adaptation of the Endemol game show 1 vs. 100 in which one Xbox Live member will play against 100 other members with a live host and prizes awarded.[25]
The Xbox Guide is also a new redesigned feature. Players would not only be able to view their friends and messages, but will be able to access their game library. If a user has installed any game onto their Xbox 360 Hard drive, they will be able to immediately start the game from the guide, whether they are in a game or in the dashboard.[26] Major Nelson also announced that the update will also support 16X10 on VGA or HDMI, expanding resolutions.[27]
At Tokyo Game Show 2008, Microsoft announced that the New Xbox Experience will be released on November 19 all around the world. - martin01p, on 10/09/2008, -2/+22Lynch the traitor!
- specter19, on 10/09/2008, -2/+20oh i see. thanks.
- Scuds14, on 10/09/2008, -0/+17Negative Diggs? Obviously the said 12 year olds are reading this as we speak.
- benman587, on 10/09/2008, -1/+18November 19, not October 19
- FreeTalkLIve, on 10/09/2008, -6/+23Maybe lot of people will have the "New Experience" of getting their xbox banned.
- ReeferChiefer42, on 10/09/2008, -3/+19It's cause you said "F*in", genius....just say "*****", we're not in the 3rd grade anymore, you won't be punished, I promise!
- travis1982, on 10/09/2008, -3/+19Jesus dude. You take Digg a bit too seriously, and no one cares about your monitor.
- enantiodromia, on 10/09/2008, -3/+18mmm, this
and Fable2
and Left4Dead
and Fallout3 - cawpin, on 10/09/2008, -1/+15HAVE
- Sfenton, on 10/09/2008, -0/+14Can I like them both?
- Timmyftw, on 10/09/2008, -2/+16I have a 22" monitor and i dont care about your monitor.
- DavidGX, on 10/09/2008, -1/+14Hopefully you'll be banned from xbox live and your system bricked.
- drilloffs, on 10/09/2008, -1/+14So I stroked til this update
- Dgen_X, on 10/09/2008, -0/+13No...sorry....
You have to pick a side and be very loud about it! - wardrox, on 10/09/2008, -2/+15It's converting the usable and practical UI the Xbox currently has into something casual gamers can understand and appreciate.
- Sternology, on 10/09/2008, -0/+12you will still need the disc in to play. It just won't be running the game from the disc so hopefully it should be quieter
- Shelter22, on 10/09/2008, -1/+13lmao. my thoughts exactly.
- Arkz, on 10/09/2008, -0/+11wrong, the PS3s 1X BD Drive reads at about half the speed of the 360's 12X DVD drive
- liquisoft, on 10/09/2008, -2/+13Sounds awesome. Kind of unusual to get excited about a software update to a game console. I don't think I've ever seen anything like this. It certainly goes to show the impact the Xbox has had on gamers.
- terminalpariah, on 10/09/2008, -7/+18Definitely installing Fallout 3 and Gears 2. I'll probably sink a couple of hundred hours between the two.
- LeviTheSmith, on 10/09/2008, -0/+11It usually does
- Slippy, on 10/09/2008, -3/+14I wonder will it still support the HD DVD player, yes i know the format is dead, but you cant beat £3/ $1.50 high def movies, right?
- ronaldmonster, on 10/09/2008, -9/+20Also Tekken 6 on the 360, I no longer have a reason for a PS3.
- Sornos, on 10/09/2008, -2/+12http://digitalunrestcomic.com/index.php?date=2008- ...
Entirely too accurate. - RisingAgainst, on 10/09/2008, -0/+10party chat....party......
- inactive, on 10/09/2008, -0/+10Idiot.
- kinseyincanada, on 10/09/2008, -0/+10milking it? there has been 3 games, geez how many ***** mario game have there been, or Metal Gear games.
- ReeferChiefer42, on 10/09/2008, -2/+11No love for Far Cry 2, Fable 2, Left 4 Dead, and Dead Space?
- Arkz, on 10/09/2008, -0/+9that right there, that's why i hate PS3 owners.. and i myself am a PS3 owner.. im just not a retard like you
- schultenick, on 10/09/2008, -2/+11Winter begins Dec 21 look it up
- DavidGX, on 10/09/2008, -3/+12The 360 has better games, better graphcis, better online service and can be gotten for half the price of a ps3. They didn't really need to do anything to combat sonys so-called "strides".
- cellpunxer, on 10/09/2008, -1/+9ummm...no its not dude maybe you should look at your calender.
