Diskusjon: Spring update 2008

[The Walking Dead]

Hei.

Leste på xboxscene idag RUMOURS om update.

 

Kan noen hjelpe meg å lime inn links/updateliste fra kilden kotaku.com

Listen skal være på ca 80 items. (takk, Mr.Bridger)

 

jeg kommer ikke inn på en eneste seriøs side, bortsett fra xboxscene og ikke får jeg kopiere/lime inn........

statoil suger!

 

så starter vi diskusjonen

 

takk.

 

 

"perhaps the most interesting additions are: calibration options for motion sensor devices,dashboard blade. og: SUPPORT for titles to store installation data on Storage device for faster loading, games blade"

Ser vi her at microsoft velger å la oss legge inn spilla, istedenfor å sette ned hastigheten på dvd speller?

Så either way så har de hørt på oss forbrukere, mindre støy i vente?

 

ellers: windows live mail integration, audio feeds via podcast, inside xbox:weather,news,entertainment,help and community features.

Er dette bekreftet? Mulighet for å installere deler av spill er jo glimrende, så lenge de kan la det være valgfritt. Spill som krever harddisk kan gjøre ting temmelig surt for folk med en Arcade/Core som ikke har Live elns.

[iStephano]

Legge inn deler eller hele spillet? Det hadde vært konge om man kunne legge inn hele spillet. Hadde gjort livet så mye enklere!

Etter masse online spilling i cod4 er det eni funksjon eg har sakna..

 

moglegheit for privatchat med fleire samtidig..viss dykk er ein gjeng på 3-4 stykk som vil spille mot utlendinger så kan det vere greit å starte eit privatchat party..ein kan jo sjølsagt mute dei andre det er eg klar over, men dette gjelder jo då også andre spill som GTA IV..

Ok.

 

If Microsoft follows the same schedule it did last year, the Spring system update for the Xbox 360 should be right around the corner. Today, an alleged and wholly unconfirmed list of changes included in the "Q2 2008" update was sent to us, supposedly forwarded from an internal source. The full list—which is after the jump—features about 80 new feature additions, tweaks and changes but was purported to be incomplete and subject to change.

 

Some are simply interesting as curiosities, such as an option to purchase Xbox Live memberships for charities and the addition of a Media section for audio delivered through feeds, such as podcasts. Others sound more feature robust, such as Windows Live Mail integration and an expanded "Inside Xbox" with news, weather, entertainment, help and community features.

 

Perhaps the most interesting additions are "Calibration options for motion sensor devices" for the Dashboard and "Support for titles to store installation data on Storage Device for faster loading" for Games. If true, the former would lend further credibility to frequent rumors that Microsoft is planning to introduce a motion controller for the Xbox 360. The ability to store installation data on a hard drive—as is done with some PlayStation 3 games—would certainly be a welcome option, if that's how the wording should be interpreted. Continue on for the full list of rumored updates.

When we contacted Microsoft to verify the authenticity of the list, we were told "We don’t comment on rumors or speculation, but what we can tell you is we’ve never seen this list before." Obviously, consider this rumor and/or speculation for now, especially in light of the official statement and the clearly unofficial sourcing of this information.

 

If we hear anything more concrete, anything straight from the source, we'll let you know.

La oss håpe dette stemmer folkens! Er jo fult av kule funksjoner i denne listen! Eneste jeg savner er en Web Browser, som ikke er begrenset til Vista Media Center brukere

[The Walking Dead]

en vanlig ie web browser vil egentlig være ganske umulig med tanke på at det fins virus og trojaner og slikt der ute.

 

Men en web browser via microsoft server vil være fullt mulig, men da trengs det vel en god del mer bandbredde igjen?

 

 

edit: xbox live. punkt 11 og 12, de er tydeligvis gått lei på at folk ringer inn og skal kansellere kredittkort og slikt.

 

punkt 4 media: for godt til å være sant, begynner faen meg å lure på denne listen???(hvis jeg forstår det rett, skal det være mulig å kopiere over musikk, bilder, videoer over til xbox hdd) Tvilsomt!

Det å flytte over filmer/bilder/musikk til harddisken hadde vært digg. Håper goså på at guiden kan bli raskere og mer responsiv i det hele tatt. Video Marketplace hadde også vært så smått bra

Er søren meg på tide at dem fikser. Var et mareritt uten like og fjerne bankkortet mitt derifra.

 

Du kan jo kopiere musikk over så hvorfor ikke videoer og? Bilder kan du vel.. Eller?

[The Walking Dead]

det er mulig å rippe over fra cd idag, ikke kopiere over fra usb/pc

 

punkt4/media er jo en av punktene til microsoft som de har vært veldig forsiktig med ang. hack og slikt.

Savner en web browser, og flere andre store nyheter, det er jo kun forbedringer her, ingen nye funksjoner.

 

Håper også dem gir oss mer frihet til å endre på bakgrunnen og bladesene.

PS3 og Wii har jo vanlige browsere? Er vel ingen grunn til at X360 skulle være noe unntak?

[lektroluv]

Å kunne private-chatte med flere folk vil være den største update'n i min bok.

 

Hadde også vært artig om man kunne lage ferdig-skrevne text-messages. Så hvis f.eks. noen sender en gameinvite, så kan du med enkle tastetrykk sende en beskjed "sorry, kan ikke nå" eller noe sånt. Hadde vært nyttig.

[kleppemeister]

Husk og at Shane Kim har sagt at denne listen har han aldri sett, så ikke vær sikker på at noe av de som står på den stemmer.

[Laland]

link?

[The Walking Dead]

nei, med tanke på punkt 4 i media så er nok denne listen fake. Microsoft ville aldri utsette seg selv for slike muligheter.

 

Men når vil en update komme? spring er vel over for lenge siden nå.....

[MindTooth]

Er på rett vei. Men tror de satser mere på høstoppdateringen, mtp. juleferien, osv.
