troppo cari...

che andassero a pelar patate  :cowjoy:

[Turrican3]

troppo cari...

Già... IMHO dovrebbero rivedere la politica prezzi perchè è una feature alquanto interessante ma non è raro che taluni titoli vengano a costare più del corrispondente su supporto fisico.

In questo modo si riduce l'incentivo all'acquisto, che già di suo deve fare i conti con la diffidenza di chi ha "paura" a fare acquisti in digital delivery.

Ragazzi occhio alle memory card non ufficiali: con il prossimo, imminente aggiornamento della Dashboard 360 esse diverranno inutilizzabili:

http://majornelson.com/archive/2009/10/16/unauthorized-xbox-360-storage-devices.aspx

When Preview Program members start receiving the Xbox 360 system update next week, one of the changes is that unauthorized Memory Units will no longer work with the Xbox 360. If you've moved your profile or saved games onto one to "back it up," you'd better move it back onto an authorized Xbox 360 storage device prior to taking the update. If you continue to use an unauthorized Memory Unit after the update, you will not be able to access your stored profile or saved games.

If you need help identifying officially licensed Xbox 360 storage devices or accessories you can read more about the licensed accessories program on Xbox.com

Direttamente dal Xbox.com i dettagli sul Fall Update della Dashboard in arrivo questa settimana:

Next Week the TV Transforms when Social Networking, Music and Movies Come Alive on Xbox 360

Facebook, Twitter, Last.fm and Zune video Launch Nov. 17 on Xbox LIVE

The topic du jour was all about TV, but this morning at NewTeeVee Live – an industry conference that explores the future of television – Xbox LIVE general manager Marc Whitten confirmed the next wave of social entertainment is coming to Xbox LIVE on November 17. Starting next week, Facebook, Twitter, Last.fm and instant on HD video from Zune will be available on Xbox 360 consoles, transforming Xbox LIVE into the largest social network connected to the TV with exclusive features custom-designed for the living room.

"We're delivering some truly exciting social entertainment experiences to our members," said Whitten. "Xbox LIVE's differentiator has always been our community, and we've already seen a tremendous response to these features in our public preview. It's the community that drives us forward and allows us to pioneer new ways of connecting people through the entertainment they love."

• Facebook – Update your status to share what movie, game or entertainment you're enjoying, connect with friends and view their Facebook stream, status updates and photos on the big screen – all seamlessly integrated and custom-built for Xbox 360. You can even compare your Xbox LIVE and Facebook friends lists to see which of your friends are on LIVE.
• Zune – Zune video on Xbox LIVE offers a full fidelity experience with instant on HD in 1080p and 5.1 channel surround sound. No waiting for downloads or buffering, it's there at the press of a button. You can also share the experience with up to seven friends through voice chat and Avatar integration on the TV screen – it puts a whole new spin on "movie night."
• Twitter – Stay in the know by discovering, posting and replying to Tweets right on your Xbox 360. You can even view friend profiles, trends and conversations, or search to see who's tweeting about your favorite game.
• Last.fm – Discover more music and explore endless personalized radio stations with Last.fm on Xbox 360. Skip, "ban" or "love" tracks to create your perfect mix—we've even built in "Gamer Stations" with game-related types of music selected specifically for the gaming community(Available in the U.S. and UK)

In addition to these social features, Xbox LIVE will also be debuting "News and More", a new section of the "Inside Xbox" channel, transforming Xbox LIVE into a full-fledged media portal. With a regularly-updated stream of content from MSNBC, The New Yorker and Dilbert, "News and More" brings the latest in current events, arts and entertainment right to your fingertips.

All of these features build on the wild success of Netflix on Xbox LIVE, which quickly established Xbox 360 as the most-used living room device for streaming Netflix content to the home1. Only on Xbox 360 can you find the best in movies, music, games and social networking all in one place, tailor-made for the TV and connected to more than 20 million people around the globe.

"From the launch of Xbox LIVE nearly seven years ago, to milestones like Video Marketplace, Netflix and the New Xbox Experience, we've continued working toward our vision of connected entertainment for everyone," continued Whitten. "I'm proud to say that next week marks another great stride in fulfilling that promise, and we're already imagining what the future has in store."

So what are you waiting for? On November 17, turn on your Xbox 360, log onto Xbox LIVE and enjoy the world of social entertainment at your fingertips. Not an Xbox LIVE Gold member? Starting November 20 (12 pm ET / 9 am PT) until November 23 (12 pm ET / 9 am PT) Xbox LIVE Silver members can enjoy the latest Gold features for FREE – including Facebook, Twitter and Last.fm! There's tons more to experience with Gold as well.  Play the latest game titles like "Halo 3: ODST" online multiplayer, participate in "1 vs. 100," host an Xbox LIVE Party or even video chat with friends. All of these Gold-only features will be available all weekend long for anyone to try.

Datel (che come saprete produce memory card compatibili che questo aggiornamento ha tagliato fuori) sta facendo causa a Microsoft proprio per la faccenda del "blocco" delle memory card non ufficiali:

Datel sues Microsoft over Xbox cheating crackdown

Datel Design & Development on Friday filed an antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft after the software company locked out unauthorized Xbox 360 memory units.

Datel, which makes popular third-party memory units for the gaming console, alleges Microsoft violated federal antitrust laws by restricting the use of Datel memory units in a firmware update to the Xbox 360 dashboard. The Staffordshire, England-based company is demanding a jury trial and seeks monetary damages and injunctive relief.

[UPDATE]
Confermato ufficialmente:

===============

[RUMOUR]
Supporto per dispositivi USB Mass Storage in arrivo?

Sembrerebbe di sì, perlomeno secondo alcune fonti di Joystiq.com:

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/18/xbox-360-gaining-usb-storage-support-in-2010-update/

L'aggiornamento della Dashboard, che sarebbe previsto per le prossime settimane (Spring 2010 update), permetterebbe di utilizzare qualsiasi dispositivo USB per memorizzare demo, salvataggi e persino per l'installazione dei giochi, analogamente a quanto si fa già sui modelli di 360 con l'hard disk.

Prima di correre a comprare un disco esterno da 2 Terabyte occhio però: sembra che la partizione che viene creata non possa essere più grande di 16GB, comunque mediamente sufficienti per tre/quattro giochi completi.

[Reiz]

pò esse

[Turrican3]

E' ufficiale il supporto USB Storage su Xbox360 a partire dall'aggiornamento che sarà disponibile il 6 aprile:

http://majornelson.com/archive/2010/03/26/USB-Memory-Support-for-the-Xbox-360-coming-April-6th.aspx

confermati anche i limiti di cui si parlava in precedenza (minimo 1 GB, max 16 GB), viene inoltre consigliato di utilizzare pendrive flash anzichè dispositivi con parti meccaniche alias hard disk. Il blog non parla esplicitamente dei giochi ma penso si possa dare quasi per scontato essendo menzionati profili, savegame e soprattutto demo tra i tipi di oggetto che il sistema consentirà di memorizzare su questi "nuovi" dispositivi supportati.

Inoltre per facilitare gli utenti meno avvezzi ad operazioni "tecniche" (c'è un minimo di configurazione necessaria, il sistema non utilizzerà automaticamente i dispositivi USB connessi) Microsoft ha stretto una partnership con Sandisk per la commercializzazione di un pendisk USB ufficiale brandizzato Xbox, preconfigurato e pronto all'uso. Uscita prevista a maggio.

[Il_Supremo]

LOL, e per questa preconfigurazione una penna USB da 1GB la faranno pagare cara,molto cara 

[Turrican3]

Vabbè l'antieconomicità vale per tutti gli accessori cosiddetti "originali" (vedi le SD bianche marchiate Nintendo per Wii/DSi che costano un rene), l'importante è che siano disponibili alternative standard ugualmente compatibili. :)

[Turrican3]

L'aggiornamento che abilita l'utilizzo dei dispositivi USB per memorizzare profili, savegame, ecc. è disponibile.
