Danrarbc Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 It's called compression, the xbox uses it ALOT most games uncompressed would be DVD-9.They will uncompress it on the fly with one of the processors they have in the machine. This will also make the games cheaper not having to press expensive media and the sell it to us. 585912041[/snapback] Xbox games already have DVD-9 available to them, I'm sure several games have already taken advantage.

ANova Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Microsoft is quite the devious little ****. You guys do realize this whole free weekends thing is just to entice people to pay the monthly fee in order to be able to play all the time. I think i'll take the free pc instead.

Be greatful they are actually giving you the option of using live for free at weekends, something you didnt get with the first xbox.

TheLegendOfMart Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 You arent paying for the ability to play online games, you are paying for the platform, constant updates, new content, new downloads, new movie clips, etc..etc.. If you dont want to pay then just use one of the many free 3rd party software like xlink etc..

( if u didnt know that).. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/318457-xbox-360-specs-fully-leaked/page/8/#findComment-585914076 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamees Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I too at first didn't buy into the "Pay for play" after I've already purchased the game. But it really does make sense, as these are extras, and our payments for this help make these great features get developed. And also help the owners of these companies get nicer cars. Its definately worth it though. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/318457-xbox-360-specs-fully-leaked/page/8/#findComment-585994398 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using a direct connect approach like PC games use is much more straight forward and free. I'm not paying MS employees so they can get another Mercedes.
