Who here has given this a shot, how is the quality, the download speed? I've been having issues with non-tv/movie related functions with XBL.
-
Apparently 80% of all Live users tried out the service today... I doubt this news, but:

I haven't, but this is a really great idea. It scares me how well Microsoft have got their shit together this generation. Peculiar list of films though.
-
%80 of all people on LIVE. And it's only out in U.S. too so a lot of people were waiting for this.
-
Yeah aside from V I couldnt find anything I wanted to dl lol. I mean I have everything I like on DVD and no HDTV
-
TVC says downloads take forever, and the shows are like 400-500MB a pop. I have like 9 gigs free and since there's no obvious defrag utility to get a little extra space back after I wipe demos, I'm stuck at around 18 episodes and no extra space.
360 needs a 160+ GB HD, stat.
-
yeah, jesus.
-
When is M$oft gonna announce larger HDDs anyway? 20 gigs is horeshit.
-
there are pictures showing off an 80gb drive, they will be out soon.
-
some presentation had a 100 GB one.

I should wait for that one if I manage to grab a $100 core tomorrow. :P
-
80 gb is crap. There's 120 and 160 2.5" drives out there; give us some CHOICE MS
-
I thought you could put a regular 2.5" drive into the casing?

You too? Damn it. :P

Neither of us is gonna get one I bet. :(

Polari, that's the PS3.

When does the sale begin, anyways? I'm dying to get a 360, and at $100 I could definitely afford it. :-\
-
BONES ISNT ON XBL!

2 pm EST. I'm going to be sitting at my laptop refreshing every second.
-
Me too. :-\
-
Polari, that's the PS3.
Oh, I thought you could do it with the 360 too.
-
nah, the drives are non-standard, I hear.
-
I wonder if you could put the movies on a window's PC hard drive?

datel makes a device that allows you to pull files off the 360 hard drive. They might still be full of drm though.
-
Ya know, if I got a core for ~$100, I could probably hold out and wait for the HDD come X-Mas time, along with two new games, and still have it cost around the same as JUST the premium pack.
That's a good fucking deal. Shit. Now I'm definitely gluing myself to the comp from 1:30pm onwards... :/

Seriously dude, I've been thinking about it all week. :hyper
-
FUCK, how quickly do you think they're gonna sell out? If I order my system around 2pm, I don't wanna be beaten by a bunch of taco eBayers looking to make a quick buck. >:(

I really think they're going to sell out within a matter of seconds.
I was going to be one of those cigarillo eBayers, but I came to my senses.
-
A few seconds? FUCK. This is amazing fortune for me, but I'll be pissed to no end if I order my system at 2:01 pm and there's none left. :punch :gun

The amazon thing is a great deal, but honestly, get some friends together to help lol

I believe that was a photoshop, but I'd be very happy to be proven wrong.
-
1,000? Dammit, I'm ordering at exactly 2:00pm. If I don't make it then, hey, at least I tried... :-\

Each week's winner goes on sale Thursdays at 11 a.m. Pacific Time. Buying will close when available quantities have sold out. Be online, ready and waiting on Amazon.com, the second buying goes live. If you don't have an Amazon.com account already, get one now. We predict that these deals will sell out rapidly.
You won't buy products from Amazon Customers Vote the way you'd ordinarily buy at Amazon.com. We've implemented a special series of screens to ensure we only take as many orders as we can fulfill, and to ensure that each customer buys only one item. You'll be asked to verify your identity, and issued one of a limited number of claim codes that allow you to purchase at the special discounted price.
You must buy via the Amazon Customers Vote page (amazon.com/customers-vote), not the product detail page, in order to buy one of the set-aside items; otherwise, you will not pass through the series of screens in which we issue the claim code, and you will not receive the discount.
Additionally, only items shipped from and sold by Amazon.com are included in this promotion, although some of these items are sold on our site by third-party merchants. If you add an item to your cart from the detail page using the "Add to Shopping Cart" button for a different merchant (such as Target), we cannot apply the claim code to your order.

The 100 GB one was a photoshop. They had a presentation with a 60GB one that was developer kit.

A core 360 and Gears of War, that's the life for me!

I'm afraid to ask.

Well i've downloaded two episodes of Venture Bros the first one didnt work and still gives me an error even after i've redownloaded it. The other works great. I hope they release new stuff the night or next day after it airs cause this is nice. HD stuff sucks cause theres not much HD stuff.
Hopefully daybreak will be up tomorrow on VMP

Oh shit, and a few of those movies looked good.
They'd be idiots to never release a bigger hard drive and make a "DVR bundle" though.

Hey Cajole, did you get a 360 or what?
-
Who the fuck is that guy, lo
-

-

Of course not.
-
That sucks, dude... :(
-
That sucks, dude... :(
Guessing you didn't get one either?
-
TBH, I didn't even try. I'm a pussy. :-\
-
The page was taking like 3 minutes to load. I hit F5 at 1:58 and it didn't pop up again until 2:01 when it said SOLD OUT
-
I heard, that shit is crazy man. :(
I decided, though, that I'll probably hold off until the 360 gets a price drop, and Halo 3 has come out before I take the plunge, so whatever...

Well, that amazon deal was a ridiculous price drop...
