  1. Goldeneye 007 on the N64 looked bad, but it was one of my favorite N64 games other than Banjo-Kazooie, Mario Kart, and etc., but I would not like playing it now because I dislike controllers for first person shooters, I played it in its entirety, and I dislike playing against AI, so I would only want to play against friends, which is not so easy without the internet.

    Congratulations, JerryK!

Major Nelson outlined some of the new features coming to Dashboard and the Xbox 360. Besides the avatar feature, which is cute, we’re going to have the ability to install games directly to the hard drive and play them.

This feature explains the recent press release about the 60GB Xbox 360 and the price drop on the old 20GB box. Once we can install on our hard disk we’re going to be able to watch our disk space fade away just like we can do, today, on our PC.

You’re going to need to keep the disk in the drive, however, to play the Xbox 360 games you’ve purchased. This will continue to be Microsoft’s solution to Digital Rights Management (DRM) with their console. The end goal, however, is a faster load and a much quieter gaming experience as the 360 DVD player is tremendously loud.

Pretty soon this system is going to be no better than a PC if it keeps getting features like this!
