The absolute best thing about NXE is being able to delete the arcade trial games from your achievement list that you don't have any points from, nor likely to ever get any from.

Aha! Good to know, I'll be able to clean up my list a bit :)

Edit: How?

It's likely just for copy protection - Stops you renting and installing games then playing them indefinitely.

What I meant was that Microsoft could only allow each game to be copied to one console by linking the disc's ID to your account. If you then tried to copy it to a second console, it would ask you to remove it from the other console first.

To be fair, if I was doing it then I'd allow three consoles per game, for families with multiple Xboxes etc.

anybody know how much HD space a typical game takes (for example Madden 09) yet?

6.5GB for a single disk game roughly.

Good question :). Can't remember how I did it now I just buggered about a bit with my achievement list. I think you press X to clear game history or something like that when viewing the list of games and what achievements you have.
 
After a bit of playing about I'm not happy that you don't have much control over the face. They have lots of styles in each categorie but ultimately you can't set the distance or size of bits and bobs. Makes it hard to make caricatures. Hoping they add that in later along with some extra formal attire.
 
Well squeezed 17 games on my 360's 120GB HDD (not including the 25 Arcade Titles on there), and 3 demo's...

Still 9.5gb left... not too bad really.
 
Yup same here! I was worrying that it was gonna kill off connect360, but doesn't seem to be a problem :)

what bit rate do you guys use for your encoded videos?

I'm at 2500 and I noticed i get hiccups in the video if there is anything else going on my g wifi, maybe i should just hardwire between the mac and the 360 to increase my speed

I am hard wired, so I cannot be help there.
