Favorite Feature on the 360....

The Ace · 29-11-2005, 09:13 AM

For all of those who have it, you must admit there are alot of new nice features. Now, I'm asking you which you think you favorite feature is or your top 5.

My top 5 Features are:
1. Streaming Music from Computer.
2. Turning the 360 on/off from controller.
3. Opening/Closing CD Drive in dashboard.
4. Private Chats (over different games)
5. Different Themes/Gamer Pictures for Dash/Gamer Card.

I only like the turn the system on and off via the Controller.

I don't have High Speed at the moment, so no Xbox Live yet. I'm moving in mid January so there's no sense in having it hooked up only to have to move, so... Until January no Live.

Anyway, I'm still digging on the fact that you can operate the drive and turn the system on and off from the controller. That's awesome.

That's pretty sad when the hottest feature is the remote to open the door.
I noticed noone picked the graphics(o.k. @ best) or the gameplay as their
favorite feature.....hmm what's up with that.

well I think they are saying with this thread what are those extra features you like about the system. Since graphics and gameplay aren't a "feature" of the hardware. Thats all about the software (aka the games) and its the developers fault if the graphics/gameplay fall short in any sense. well at least thats how I took the thread lol

for me feature wise I like the ability to turn it off/on wirelessly, private chat while playing career/single player and the more robust live compatibility all around such as marketplace, how it tells me when someone comes online while playing yada yada. Lots of nice goodies

Ahhh now I get it,my favorite feature is dvd use right out of the package.I burn my own and the 360 supports every dvd format available.At first I didn't think it would play burned dvd's but it does.I don't use the dvd player cause
I used my kids college fund to buy an awesome home theatre system,but it is still nice to know that it supports all those formats.

Graphics.... Okay at best...?
PGR3 for one is stunning, but its early on in its life for christ sakes, graphics will get better.

Some people expect the earht on a stick...

I am sorry but, xbox dad, you are sounding like the console is suppose to grab you a soda and massage your feet while you play a game. Technology is advanced. The games are launch, not even 1/3 of what it can do. If you want graphics that will blow you away, check out an NBA game or Wardevil. The games won't be truly next gen until mid 06-early 07.
