Subject: Re: [Xbox] Rumored Xbox 360 Spring update features list surfaces
I do not see anything on that list that couldn't be implemented. Some of it
does sound unlikely though.
Also the option to allow games to store installation data, seems an odd way to
word that function. Technically the 360 always DID allow games to store
installation data, its just not very much nor is it permanent.
