"Community games
Although it's lower-profile than the Netflix feature, the addition of a Community Games channel is sparking interest among gamers looking for something beyond the high-budget, high-polish experience provided by most commercial titles. Simply put, the Community Games feature offers bedroom Xbox developers the chance to get their works out to a paying public without much expense or hassle. Think of it as a cross between the Xbox Live Arcade and Apple's App Store. There's already a selection of titles to try, but it will take some time before this feature really demonstrates its value.
Installing games
The NXE lets you copy games from DVDs onto a 360's hard drive and play them from there (the Sony PS3 already does this). This increases game load times, but not dramatically. What emphatically is noticeable is that the 360 doesn't have to spin the DVD while you're playing, making it a much, much quieter experience than normal. Oh, and before you get any ideas about renting games, installing them, then taking them back to the store, you still need the DVD in the drive to play. Sorry."
So what do you say? I know nothing can really be done until the big boys are back, but you think maybe Synth would be up to it? If he had the money, of course.
If not FFR, SiU?
They'd both be cool idea.
(Sorry for new thread. I searched for the old one and was unable to find it.)
