Great for all those people who wanted to find a way to spend more money on Rock Band.

turok demo is up.

I reckon it's going to be shit. I've nothing to base that comment on, just a feeling.

Here who is going to get Burnout Paradise? I can't decide which format to buy it on, but if a load of you pricks are getting it on the 360 that might swing it.

 

[CitySickness]

What did you all think of the Burnout Paradise demo? I reckon the free-roaming thing is a bit odd, dunno if it really suits the series.

 

[Stan Bowles]

The free roaming was odd in the little area of the map you had alright, I reckon it'll make more sense in the full map.

Did you try the online though? Was pretty great fun, people drop in and out seamlessly, could be perfect for Thursday night gay action.

Can't wait for this , will get it for 360 i guess for maximum gayness, unless there is a significant quality difference on ps3

i miss the crash junctions.

Is it possible yet for the 360 to play MP3's/AVI's off a network PC? I.E: Anything that isn't Windows Media Centre.. And no streaming stuff like TVsersity either, that results in awful quality..

Yup, it wirelessly streams all my movies and music direct from my XP machine pretty seamlessly. I'm sure it could do the same with a wired connection.

How, may I ask? What file formats does it recognise? I'm thinking of sticking with the original Xbox for the time being unless the 360 wow's me..

 

[dudley]

the recent xbox divx update has been brilliant, we use it a lot for watching stuff now.

the only downside is that it doesn't recognise mkv files, which a lot of the HD movie and tv rips are in.

 

[CitySickness]

Eh, it just plays anything from my music library or in the "my videos" folder, through the dashboard. I can't remember if I had to set up anything to allow sharing to the 360 or anything, but it seemed fairly straighforward, as I remember.

One of the main reasons I'll prob stick with XBMC for the mean time (which can't handle MKV's over 720x576) is this and that it can also play DVD iso's. The 360 has HUGE capabilities esp when it comes to HD files but til it gets hacked or Microsoft support them, it's a no go.
