I like how fast everything seems to be.  The constant loading and menu lag right now is a little too much.

I hope the game installs really do make a difference.  Fable 2's loading is starting to get on my nerves.

I think it got a lot worse when they got rid of the XBLA area and just lumped all the games into one place.  Having to wait for all the crap to load up before I can access the thing I want is just bad design.

Apparently, it doesn't.

I began installing Fable II at 10:14pm and it finished by 10:25pm. I'm not sure that the game loaded any faster—maybe you could catch it with a stopwatch, but I couldn’t with casual observation.
But I did notice that Fable’s auto-guidance system reacted more quickly to my directional changes. Pop-ins may have been a little improved as well, though I was able to duplicate a few problems I experienced with the disc in.

The biggest benefit was that the DVD didn’t spin nonstop. In fact, it didn’t spin at all. Since my test 360 has gone through two optical drives already, I was happy to have the option to lessen the wear and tear on my 360.


Well, at least it solves the disc noise.  good jon ms

sucks about the loading though.

Awesome news about 16:10 support.  I don't use my PC monitor anymore for playing 360 games, but it is good for those who do. 

Update looks slick too.  Might make me go buy one of those horrendously overpriced 120GB hard drives...fuck.

Oh and!

I've been watching these Joystiq videos nad it does look really good.  Next time Dell has one of those crazy deals on the Elite, I will probably order it.  What is the newest model you should be looking forward to again? falcon or valhalla or something like that?

avatars are the fucking pits

saying 'nxe' is probably worse than saying 'gcn' -- a dashboard is not an experience

but installations are going to be awesome -- no drive noise and perhaps less texture pop-in for games that stream? yes pls

So I own a 1440x900 monitor, but don't know a whole lot about scaling.  What will look better-- running upscaled at 1440x900 or at the game's native 1280x720?

From the fallout thread in case people missed it.

Fallout 3
I was originally pretty happy with how quickly the game loaded up, and while 48 seconds doesn’t exactly set any land-speed records, it beats some of the other loading times out there. After waiting 8 minutes and 37 seconds for the 5.9 GBs worth of files to install, I gave it another shot. The second time around, times were cut to an even better 25 seconds from the dashboard menu to the action. I also timed the loading times for transitioning between inside and outside game environments. Before installing the game, these transitions took about 20 seconds; afterward, it was halved. If you’re planning on spending a serious amount of time with the game, that time savings is going to stack up over time.

Anything with streaming or constant access to the disc is going to benefit

upscaled since it won't be stretched (maintaining aspect ratio) unless you hate letterboxing.

plus, lcds are better at their native resolution or so i heard.

So install to hard drive doesn't cut down on load times at all, well, maybe a little. I'll do it because its quieter and I won't get DRMs, but otherwise, what's the point?
From what I understand, the older 360 games will benefit most.  It seems to vary depending on how game data was organized and how well optimized the title originally was.  Something like PGR3, for instance, should hopefully benefit greatly.  My first trial will have to be Sonic 06.  Seriously.  The game blows, but it will be a great test for the system.

Now, if you install a game. Will it run off the HDD by default, or do you have to go to the game list and choose run off HDD every time?

I have it,it works perfectly.Tested Mass Effect,load times are quicker,pop-up loads quicker,framerate is more stable when you rotate camera quickly or run(tested on citadel).But the most amazing thing is that 360 is quiet.
