From what i understood about NXE is that you shouldn't be able to hot-swap because it does move some of the game's files over; however, there are still files and items it needs to run off the disc that aren't on the hard drive.

LAN parties, yes. I want to have a Halo 3 setup for New Years', but I don't really want to buy a copy for myself. And I can't test it out myself, because my Forza is scratched and won't copy over. :(

NXE isn't that bad. Only problem is some pages/windows/whatever load really slowly.

It requires physically taking apart the 360, the eject trick doesnt work

Haha, Thrice, Artist in the Ambulance(song), just popped up on Pandora, and I had this sudden urge to start modding Halo.
Like, I felt like my hand almost involuntarily brought my mouse down to the Halo 2 folder.

There are no such files. It simply requires that you have the disk in the drive, for copyright reasons. Can't have you going and putting that game on a bunch of 360s now can they? (Hence why you can't just go and have a LAN party with one disk, unless you pop the top off the drive to get the disk out without opening the drive, which they probably should have seen coming)

What structure does the file system use? There's always a way to defragment a file system, even if it would never require such a task (like EXT4)

Just bought Counter Strike: Source.

Along with two of these bad-boys http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814161247 and a 26" 1080p HD Monitor, which is connected to my 360, DirecTV box, and the PC.


PWNAGE.

:/ Think I did well on my Honors PreCalc test.

and I just sat in the school library lurking these forums for the last 2 hours. Then I have lunch, a Honors Statistics, class size 7, then Honors Philosophy, class size 3. I love my schedule :P

So.. I thought you could watch Netflix movies with friends remotely. I guess you just have to start the same movie at the same time?
Also, their immediate stream has shit for movies.
At least now I know I won't be extending my 2 week free trial.

If someone rents/pays for a movie, and you join their party, do you have to pay as well?
