Xbox Live boss teases future features for Xbox dashboard

Monday 21-Jul-2008 6:30 PM New update only the beginning; remote downloads explained

2 Comments

General Manager of XBox Live has spoken of even more new features he expects to come to the Xbox Live dashboard - including the ability to control your console over the internet, and ultimately a hardware-free future. He also confirmed that hard drive installs will work with all current and future Xbox games.

Speaking to OXM at E3, Marc Whitten said that the new update is "only the beginning" of the social networking features that Microsoft want to deploy.

He also said that we can expect future updates to include the ability to switch on your Xbox from any PC and download content to it remotely - "at some point in the future you'll hear more from us about that."

Asked if we'd ever be able to copy DVDs to the hard drive like the newly-added game install process, he said that was an "evil world" and he didn't fancy talking to the lawyers about making it happen.
