Installing to the hard drive is interesting to me as a way to (hopefully) cut down the noise when playing a game (although I suppose I'm quite used to it by now). I need more disk space though.

I was listening to Major Nelson's podcast the other day, and he was banging on about the new update allowing you to form a party from the dashboard, and then decide what game you want to play. You can even form a party, with half the players playing one game and half playing another, and still chat to each other.

Sounds ideal for our thursday sessions.

I'm looking forward to being able to install games to hard disk. Partially due to the noise, but mostly because I think the DVD drive in mine is on the way out...

You still need the DVD drive to do the installing ;).

I know that the HD remake of Super Streetfighter 2 has it's remixed music provided by the fan remix community at OCRemix.org, guess that applies to this too... Decent idea actually, be good to see other retro remakes do that.

The Xbox Live Newsletter I received last night also says that Fable Pub Games is 'Available Now'. That said it's happened before with Lumines, they announced that as being 'Available Now' about 2 months before it finally materialised.
