Yeah the streaming is excellent, HD content playing from External Firewire 800 drive>Mac>Ethernet LAN>360 is playing fine without dropping frames or hanging, even when the Mac is busy. Impressive. Film trailers from apple.com look stunning.

Before this update I was converting movies with Visual Hub to play on the 360; took ages and the dupes were eating disk space. Now all my movies can live on a 1TB media server and be accessed by all my machines. Really happy with this overall.

I'll let you get away with that, as you're awesome too. :wink:

I've sent him/her(?) a PM, asking for the original vids to upload to the Archive, just in case he/she doesn't check back here very often. 8)

Arkadian Warriors and Gripshift for XBLA this Wednesday. Both 800 points.

http://gamerscoreblog.com/team/archive/ ... 55280.aspx

I borrowed a copy of Gripshift for the PSP, and all it really made me do was notice how many ways Rollcage was better than it. I've got a couple of mates who really like it though, so I guess your mileage may vary.

Yeah all I could think of was Rollcage too. I still manages to get some fun out of Gripshift mind. My main complaint about the PSP version were the controls which should be a lot better on the 360, so I'll be taking a look at the demo with interest.

I didn't have any problem with the controls on the PSP version myself. Was going to get the PS3 version, but then heard they were putting it on the 360 with some added features so decided to wait.

Yeah works great for me too with the new connect360. :D

Just need to set up another folder with links to the videos I want and share that as it's a bit unwieldy having a massive list of all my stuff. Shame it can't navigate folders but overall it's pretty awesome.
Been round this road so many times
Feel like it's skin is part of mine
This taste of milk is almost gone
Still got my shame, but not for long
Been wrong so many times before
But never quite like this
Heard all, in the rain
But the rain all turned to piss

Fables at #2 on the Original Xbox live chart this week - looks like releasing it on the Xbox Originals got it a nice boost.

Interesting, because they seem to be different games - Gripshift appears to be Super-Monkey-Ball-With-Cars, whereas Rollcage was a racing game. Although Gripshift might have a racing option too, I didn't look that far as I was having too much fun playing it like a platform game.

The PSP version had some races, so I assume this 360 version does too. I'm interested to see how whether the handling has changed at all.

Gripshift had a race mode and Rollcage Stage II had a few extra game modes similar to those found in Gripshift too so there are a lot of similarities, they just approach things in a slightly different way.
