Not sure if anyone else noticed this, but one of the features I read about was the ability to gift ms points over the system as long as you have a AIM account (easy enough). This is great news! Poker online with buddies now will mean something. Discuss

Neat.

Neat.

ok, so this guy doesn't share my enthusiasm. No biggie, who's in for a game of wits and wagers for microsoft points?

why an aim account and not a msn messenger ?

haven't look around but where's info from??? kind of crazy to not have any other info from it.

does make it easier for friends to give me points for extra junk I wouldn't buy like that Motegi track in FM2 or even the new cod4 maps just so I could keep playin with 'em.

I read it earlier from a more reputable source. Watch them bork this at the last minute.

I like this one
11. Support for titles to store installation data on Storage Device for faster loading.

if it means they're allowing external drives to be used for anything

They have this ability on the Wii (if you didn't already know). I've been able to send a few virtual console games to friends as B-Day presents and such. On the 360 this would be much facilitated by the superior friends interface.

any confirmation on this or any of the spring update features?

What would you do if someone refused to pay you your MS points after losing? There is no liability factor. These idiots will quit before the game is over and not even think about gifting you points :rolleyes:

If XBOX gambling were legal, I'd prefer an automatic system. Quit and automatically deduct the points :p

smoke em! :)
