Yeah, it would be interesting to see what you read. Just include the portlet from Google Reader onto your site I'd say...

XBL Updates - Firmware, Dashboard & Aesthetics

TAHarvey — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 17:27:28 GMT

Okay, so another comment on things to make XBL better.

In specific response to the show, how about better theme/picture customization. Let me create a theme similar in function to downloadable themes where my Dashboard displays more than one picture per blade.

How about a firmware/software update, whatever is necessary, that turns the xbox 360 on and automatically installs updates (game, emulator, patches, etc). In this case, I obviously would not have to wait for the update whenever i put a game in or turn the xbox on. Granted, some updates have caused crashed systems and if this issue is to remain, allow a feature that lets you pick which updates to automatically install.

I think a gaming show on XM would be great, would make me want to buy Xm Satelitte Radio just for that purpose.

re: Show #212 ......Addressing XBL

TAHarvey — Tue, 20 Feb 2007 19:34:26 GMT

Once again the focus of late has been XBL - how it could be made better and how developers are utilizing it in new ways. What about the features we are already supposed to have and that developers should be using? In other words, what about the use of rep, zone, friend status and trueskill as factors for matchmaking?

Sorry to crosslink, but the thought is detailed and too long for a comment here but check it out on my blog -

The short and sweet is that I breakdown the use of these factors in matchmaking in PGR3, CoD3 and GoW as examples.

Please read it and respond to it here, or on my blog, so Major Nelson will consider addressing this issue.

Thanks, Willeth. I was just about to ask if anyone had pulled that sound out of the podcast, but you were two steps ahead.

Yeah, the cover art for the original "Crack Down" game on Sega really WAS... weird.

another great podcast! i listen at work, and really enjoy the longer/rambling ones.

i'm an audio person, so i'm really looking forward to hearing from the sound designer next week.

also, i'm glad that you guys are taking the feedback from the community so seriously. it's nice for us, but it also makes business sense to really be in touch with what the users want. after reading the EGM interview with (Sony's) Jack Tretton, i was kind of puzzled. the boards and critic's responses to their launch are like free focus testing. it really is in their best interest to learn from it, instead of insist that the entire market is just wrong.

anyway, thanks for doing the podcast and making us feel like we are in the loop. i really feel like you guys are working on our behalf. keep it up!

The Xbox 101 intro is waaaaay too cheesy, lol. Also, shouldn't the "name the game" section include games that are available everywhere not just the US?
