The new Xbox Preview has rrives, click more too see what I’ve found already by looking through!
After sending in E-mail saying I would like to see what’s coming very soon Microsoft kindly st me up along with 1000s more for the Update Preview. Ok so while some features aren’t already on like the FAILBOOK, Twitter and Last.FM because they’re still being finished we already have most of the other features that I might go over in this post. I suppose since I’m there I’ll pick up as many as I can but lets start with:
Ratings – Everything on the Maketplaces cn now be iven a 5 star rating so now you can go by what the community thinks to get the best Arcade games, Game Addons or for what everybody really wanted it for the Indie Games.
Solutions Tab – A troubleshooting guide is now available so if there’s any problems with the Xbox or Joypad (even though you can still use your Xbox) you can solve many problems without having to use the site or the phone. I’m guessing that would be convinient as long as the Xbox can switch on.
Achivement Pannels – A new pannel has been added into the front which shows your current progress, (ie How much you have/How much you could have at 100% everything) as well as showing which games you have completed for Achivements. Also you can go through this page and load games from there just to get those last points if that’s your sort of thing.
Games on Demand – Soon all Xbox360 games will be on the Marketplace so players will be able to purchase them from there and run them without hving to buy the disc. It’ll also come with downloadble Game Manuals, just incase you have to
Check out the enclosed Instruction Book.
Avatar Marketplace – Maybe not a reat feature imo as you can now spend MSPoints on Avatar clothing which includes items based or made from games but the problem that stands is there still isn’t that way we could show them off in our games. Ofcourse what everyone is waiting for is the Reward Clothing where you can get items for free by winning them from games. No idea myself how that works whether it’ll trigger by a certain achivement or come up as it’s own challenge but eitherway I’ll look forward to it.
Something else – You can press X to eject your game on the screen to launch it.
That’s all for now, I’ll post more if I’ve missed anything or need to add on more. In the meantime take it easy.
