TGS: Microsoft Dates New Xbox Experience
Knowing Mii, Knowing You - Tokyo Game Show keynote brings 360 dashboard news
The 360 Mii Parade, erm, Community
9 Oct 2008
Microsoft has put a date to the 'New Xbox Experience', which will provide a massive overhaul of the Xbox 360's dashboard. November 19th is the day when the update will be released to 26 countries in 19 different languages.
This came from John Schappert (corporate VP of LIVE, software and services for Xbox) as he delivered his Tokyo Game Show keynote, titled 'A Canvas for the World'. He told attendees that work on the update is done and showed it in action.
If you haven't come across it before, the 'New Xbox Experience' includes a huge overhaul to the 360's familiar "blade" menu system, the introduction of caricature avatars (like the Wii) and the facility to install games to your HDD (like the PS3).

'and the facility to install games to your HDD (like the PS3).'
Wrong.
PS3 does not allow install of games, its a partial install and has to read off the disc AND hard drive to allow for a slightly faster streaming since blu-ray is slow.
Xbox 360 installs IS infact FULL installation of a game, needing the disc ONLY to prove that the game is present in the system and fully streams the game off the hard drive resulting in no spin of the dvd drive to access the game and improving load times.
May I also advise that the biggest news for today is Tekken 6 for the 360 just in case you missed that Spong...
