Some more info regarding what we learned at the E3 Press Conference.
Quote:
Netflix
* You must be an Xbox Live Gold subscriber as well as a Netflix subscriber to use the new Netflix service
* Similarly, anyone you share your movie with would also need to be an XBL and Netflix subscriber
* Like Netflix's current streaming service, all content will be SD only for now. They could offer HD streams as soon as Netflix is ready to deliver
Avatars
* They're not looking to create a "Home-like" environment for your Avatars – that doesn't mean a third-party wouldn't be able to do that, however
* You'll be able to keep your gamertag pics if you so choose, though they're encouraging everyone to transition to Avatars
* Games can reward you with items for your Avatar (chainsaw, please!)
* There will be no increase in the 100-friend cap on Xbox Live this Fall
* There will not be any Group (think Facebook) or Clan support in this update – they're hoping the "Party" system will satisfy those requests (spoiler: it won't)
Lips, Primetime
* They're not ready to discuss the availability of lyrics, beat charts, etc. for Lips when using your own music – sounds to us like they're going to charge for that content, but aren't saying how much
* Not ready to discuss the business model for Xbox Live Primetime – subscription-based? Free with Gold? Per game purchase?
* "Without being specific" prizes for Primetime will be similar to a television show (think: cash, a new car, etc.)
* Primetime would be a "lightweight client" that would be "somewhat extensible" depending on what kind of content is being plugged in
* It's "programmatic" so the experience will be programmed, but it won't necessarily occur during "primetime" viewing hours. It's just a name, people
Price cut
* Kim wanted to be clear they're not trying to mislead people with the 20GB price cut. "We tried to be very clear about the [availability of the] 20GB and that a 60GB unit was coming." (Emphasis Kim's)
* They have a timeline for when the 360 would be under $200 – the pricepoint where the majority of sales occur – but he wasn't talking, unsurprisingly
Back-compat
* Though Kim wouldn't say definitely that there would be no further backwards compatibility updates, he did say they're not actively pursuing it and that it wouldn't be a part of the new Dashboard update. We just want Beyond Good & Evil to work, that's all ...
The new dashboard is so ugly. I want the blades back already before I even have it. :(
I actually like the new I tunes look. Could care less about the avatars though.
No, Korly told you any webcam will work with your PS3.Quote:

Yeah the 100 friends cap is lame but I got over it. How many of that 100 do you actually play games with?
