Default One thing the xbox 360 is missing

The one thing the xbox 360 is missing is the ability to download movies. I heard that they will let you one day do this. When are they going to let people download music and movies

If they were to do this then they will definitly need to release a bigger HDD.

That's a fact for one !!!

Besides, I think they're doing a great job so far ... They don't rush to get all the XboxLive possibilities at once. That's a good thing because if we had everything from day one, we probably would get bored pretty quick of the same capabilities...

As time goes by, they'll introduce new features for Live (TV, Music, ...), that users will appreciate...

Who knows, maybe they got much more up their sleeves, but as long as they take their time and get some interesting and efficient stuff out, I'm all for it !!!

You should be able to stream movies the same way you can with Music.

I thought you were going to say the only thing it is missing is a DVD shuttle or some way to store your games and never get up to change them. After all my fav. thing is to be able to turn it on and off without getting up lol.

MS said that the 360 is a multi year platform where there will be no period that there is no buzz around the 360. Expect it to be like the psp with new features being added especially with vista coming this year I wonder what new interactions they can put in between the pc and the 360. I see that in a few years we will have full subcription downloadable content, TV, hd-dvd, massive hardrive, some innovative preripehrals, internet brower, and a whole new marketplace. They dont want to release it at once but rather space it out.

i dont know if any of you guys a pc gamers but steam (used by half life 2) lets you register with them and if you lose your disk you can download your game from them at any time. That would be cool if you could tie in your live account with your games and download them to the disk and then you can really play without getting up!

My dream is to download movies and watch TV over xbox live. That would complete my Dream console. Except a portable xbox 360. Also i heard that xbox will soon get direct TV. I really hope they don't charge u a monthly payment for it.

Yeah, I've used Steam alot. And a similiar system on the 360 would be great. Though sometimes Steam can be a pain, but nothing big.

The 360 needs 3 things.

1. More Xbox Live Arcade games.
2. More free downloads. (Oblivion's costing way too much to keep updating.)
3. Less realism

To answer the quote:

1- I'd like to see more retro classic like Namco's Galaga and Pacman, and Midway's 1942. I imagine we'll see more after E3.

2- Oblivion is starting to upset me. Already three pay-per downloads without a free update to some of the game's hangups. But the consumer is to blame if; if we keep buying, they'll keep producing. Thankfully, we can choose which items to download.

3- Blue Dragon is being developed from some of the original Final Fantasy people. I believe CAPCOM is delivering this one. While I'm not a big Japanese animation fan, it's cartoony features look appealing. At least it will be something aside from sports, shooters, and racing. I know that's the majority of games, but I like adventure games as well.

The summer is the slowest time for video games because manufactures are ramping up to sell the big hits during the holiday season, but a few sleeper hits are waiting for us.


Getting back to the original post, I'm not sure downloading complete Hi-Def (DVD-Quality at least) movies would be possible without a larger harddrive. I'm more interested in a quieter system than a larger harddrive personally.

No I'm not lazy at all I'm 12 and have 3 jobs . I don't mind changing the game and getting up. Someone else mentioned that and some gamers are lazy so I figured it would be a good idea!
