Secret feature of the new dash update?
VashTS | 9:09 PM on 08.02.2009 5 comments


Apparently some people have found out about a feature that was not announced with the new dashboard update.



The new feature happens to be smaller installs of games on the HD. While some of the games are only a few hundred megabytes less, others like KOF XII are drastically smaller going from a 3.7 gb down to a mere 705 mb.

This sounds fairly awesome, but wait there is more.

A rumor about being able to install games with multiple discs and then only needing the first disc to play the game is also in the cards. Supposedly this feature needs to be approved by the publisher/developer before working with thier game.

Lets hope this is all true and enjoy your new space on that HD!

Did this really just happen?(small rant)
VashTS | 12:56 AM on 06.30.2009 22 comments


I am a lurker on destructoid. I admit it. I comment once in a while and thats about my fair share of giving back to the community. I like to play and beat a decent RPG once in a while. Enough about me though, lets procede to the problem at hand.



Last christmas I recieved Last Remnant for Xbox 360. I found myself playing it once in a while and then lost interest around feburary. Now summer rolls around and I have nothing better to do than to enjoy beating some good ol' video games. I started a small marathon over the past week or so playing the game Last Remnant and it grabbed my interest once again. Here's where it gets good. A few minutes ago I get to the second disc swap screen.



The game prompts me, and I do what it says. It then notifies me that I must insert disc 2, even though thats what I put in.....right? I then continue to open the DVD tray in confusion and read the DVD and it says, "DVD 1". I look in the case to see what disc I put back, and it read, "DVD 1".

And that's that. I guess buying the game on release at amazon for 40 bucks wasn't that great of a deal!
I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions?

Force Unleashed demo soon
VashTS | 12:19 AM on 08.16.2008 14 comments




GT TV has just announced that the Star Wars: Force Unleashed demo will be up for download Aug 21 on Xbox live and PSN. Not too surprising, though I was hoping that we were going to be able to play it after the GTTV episode was over.

I guess everyone will be looking forward to next thursday!
