Xbox 360 update

Well, just installed the new Dashboard for the 360, and wow. It's completely and utterly different. It's like a whole new machine. I'm currently using the 'Play from Hard Drive' feature to install Fable II. The Avatars are basically a carbon copy of the Miis, and some things are called channels.

Microsoft were always good at using other people's ideas but this really is rather blatant.

Rob, if you read this, get an Elite, that 120gb drive will come in useful with the new dashboard.

Update: Fable II definitely runs better from the hard drive, the menus and things are more responsive and everything just flows better. This is definitely going to help games that are constantly accessing the disk. Shame that with the 20gb drive you can only fit one game on at a time.
