Xbox 360 Winter/Fall Update 2007 Out Dec 4



http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=175527 If you go to this page you will see the the information has been removed. From the looks of things the big added feature seems to be the ability to download Xbox 1 games. All I can say is whoopde Doo...Really? Do people care about this stuff? I never even play my xbox 1 games on the 360 via disc far less want to buy them. Do people really weant all these old games on there expensive HD Tvs? I know I don't...Well, OK, maybe if you have a PS3 and that's about all you can play:P. But come on? Right now the 360 has more AAA than you will have the time to play.

Oh! And us UK people will at last have the ability to download HD movies on to our 360. Of course that's if you have a 120gig HDD or have the Elite 360. I'm not interested in this feature either. £5 for a movie that you don't get to keep? Amazon USA at this moment in time has buy 1 get 1 free on Blu-ray at $19.99-$23. Why rent for a day when you can buy and keep forever for that price?...RUBBISH!!!!!!!





Just give us some good things Microsoft like full DivX support and maybe make it so the 360 can make me a cup of tea while I play my games... :D

UPDATE

It seems that this is true and now official about the ability to buy old xbox 1 games

'Xbox Originals' will be made available for download starting Dec. 4th as part of the Fall Update (the update's additional features have yet to be revealed). Each game can be purchased and downloaded for 1200 points ($15).In its press release, Microsoft explicitly named Halo, Psychonauts, Crimson Skies and Fable as titles for the Xbox Originals initiative, but did not confirm exactly which games will serve as the jumpoff: "This new service will launch with an array of blockbuster titles spanning the most popular genres from action-adventure to classic role-playing games." Third-party reports claim the preliminary lineup will include Halo, Fable, Indigo Prophecy, Crimson Skies, Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath Of Cortex and Burnout 3.
