[QUOTE="crazymunda6"]Theres no point for Web Browsers, would you like to waste 5 minutes trying to type www.gamespot.com on a 360 controller, I think not. However the topic poster has got some cool ideas. I would love to so MP tournaments.raylewisnfl52
its still nice to have, better to have it then not to have it and yes the topic creater has really cool stuff that are possible but we will see in the next update

MS won't put a web browser on 360, they want to keep XBL a secure network.

I'd like to be able to turn off custom soundtracks and return to the ingame soundtrack when you stop streaming your own music. Once you use custom music, it never goes back to the in-game music. But this isn't a huge problem, just a minor annoyance.

whenever i stop streaming it does go back to the in game music, if its not doing try opening the blade and pressing stop on the music keypad, or pressing x to return music control to the game from the music menu.

i'd like it to tell you what game you have in the machine along the bottom when it gives you the option to play the disc thats in. it changes and says dvd when theres a film in it.  for example i'd like it to say play "gears of war" instead of just play, that way i wouldnt have to keep opening it up to see what game i have in there and then decide whether i want to play it.


what a simple life i lead!

Boards for every 360 game where you can post specific questions like you can here. Basically make the forums over at xbox.com work on the 360 as well and attach the actual game disk to the game board. Then when your in game and are stuck or want to find other people for a specific game you can hit the guide button and select jump to the forum. Ask the question you want to ask and jump back to you game. Just thought of the idea, not sure how used it would be but it sounds cool in theory.

More than 1 person in a private chat would screw games over. In games where you die and can't talk to your teammates but can still spectate for example. Everyone on your team would just be in the private chat talking to your unfairly.

A whole new tier of Live service for MMOs for the games coming out soon like Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, Huxley, Marvel Universe Online, APB, and Im sure others (two worlds I think will have a MMO component as well). If MS could set up and run their own servers for MMOs it would help everyone. MS would make money in the long run on the service but at the same time one service for all games would cut costs for every one. The developers would not have to buy , maintain and run the servers. We would benifit cause it would be one fee to play any MMO, not $15 to play huxley and another $15 for Conan, plus with what seems to be a steady stream of MMOs in the pipeline one month you could try Conan, and in 2 months you can switch to Huxley. MS would also benifit cause it would have a premium MMO service like no other. We could pay an additional 5 to 15 bucks for a general MMO service. Of course upgrading live to cover MMOs for free is welcome as well, just not very likely cause of the cost to run.

I'd like a lot of what you guys said above. I would also like them to add the option for 1366x768 with vga cables since that's my tv's native resolution, and 1360x768 doesn't fit quite perfectly.viper3885
I want a 1600x1200 resolution, 'cause right now I have to use 1280x1024.

That community review thing would be pretty cool.  It would be cool to see the average user review score so you can decide on a buying a game.  It would be better than it is here since only people that have played the game would be able to review it.

This is a quality idea, the devs win because they dont have to bother running servers, MS win because they get the premium fee for running the servers and we would win because you could play all the MMO's for a single monthly fee. Only gripe is that DEVs would have to upload new content to microsoft and let them control it but i cant see that being a major issue to overcome.

I see where your coming from with this but so far only rainbow 6 and GRAW i think does this and its not that big an issue, also games like battlefield were the voice chat is all snafu it would solve the problem by letting the 360 handle the chat instead of the game. Sometimes when a few mates are online and you trying to arrange a match you have to keep switching channels to talk to them, a universal invite and conference would be alot better and if games like uno can have 4 video chats going at once why cant the dash version. I dont see why games stop you talking when your dead, i see why they did it but is it really that serious, and you can only see what the player sees anyway.

Here are some of my ideas in no particular order:

  • Ability to sort movies/videos by cost
  • 3-4 way private chat
  • Close the disk tray from dashboard (can open but not close.. weird enough)
  • Ability to sort Live Arcade games by: cost/user rating/downloads per week or month
  • Ability to "poke" people to show them you are online and ready for a match.. im sick of my friends not seeing my come online then typing a long message to them asking for a spot in a R6:V match.  Maybe when you select Poke or Hint This Person, you could get a list of available games/options to send in your poke.  kinda like auto texts
someone should make a master list of all these ideas

you could have these, what ya/we doing? Invite me? Join my game Hows that new game? Shall we play _______? I think it would be cool if the chat host could stream his music to the rest of the group too, or users be able to sream music over some games like uno, this function would have o be added to games though.

you can delete trial games, and i dont see the point of opening the tray with the controller, opening it by accident during a game when your trying to reply to a message would be a nightmare, and if your changing game you have to get up anyway, having failed that just use the remote, i have one and you can open and shut the tray, and change tracks when your listening to your own music in a game without accessing the menus, which is v.cool.

As far as things go I want more variety of music ,then able to show off the album covers. another nice addition is to able to private chat with at least 2 people, have to download content while playing you're games and have to be a leader board on xbox live to show off you're friends gamerscore to the rest of the world Thats a feature I wanted ever since I got an xbox.

I hope to hear other great ideas with you :P

Seems like it's only a problem in some games... Tomb Raider, for example, doesn't go back to the main music.

I don't know if someone mentioned this already, but I'd like to be able to copy all of the music on my computer to the 360's hard drive...streaming is not good enough.  I'd also like it if the first blade that came up wasn't Live...is there any way for me to change that?
