Too bad no more info on creating/managing leagues. I wonder how customizable it will be. ex. TopSpin league, can you lock people onto certain characters, have custom only leagues or pro only leagues or mixed pro/custom leagues. for Fever can you have a custom team league with a draft or something, now that would be cool. Picking players 1 at a time and trading etc.

Did anyone notice on the second pic that the last friend invites him to play Brute Force?!?!?! Could this be a sign of downloadable online play!?!?! I hope so, because that would make this game a MUST BUY!!!!!

Yeah, I'd probably have to buy it if that were the case. But I somehow doubt it, why wouldn't Digital Anvil just wait an extra month to get inplemented? Plus I think that screenshot may have been hacked with or Photoshopped. If you look at the other Friend Invites there's one labelled "Halo2" and another "Gotham 2" which is extremely odd because... Microsoft wouldn't let a typo like there not being a space in between "Halo" and "2" happen. And most Live games with long name like RtCW have it spelled out (instead of it just saying "Wolfenstein") so in theory it should say "Project Gotham Racing 2." I am not sure how "official" those screenshots are and how old they might be. Maybe they were made on the last second and the webmaster didn't do it right? Who knows, but Brute Force would be cool. I am excited either way.

I know, but I'd prefer it lag-free, easy to contact people and have voice chat.

Yeah, it'll be cool to have a voice chat lounge to find your friends to set up a game.

Good deal, just hopefully it's not buggy til they have to install a patch so we don't have to deal with any stupid issues....bring on the pain! :cheers:

I'm diggin' the new dashboard. I really like the current one, but, after looking at it for nearly two years, it's nice to see a change. I just think the entire premise of having the dashboard upgraded is simply bad ass! What other console in history has done such a thing...even remotely close? Sweetness :D

Also, I'm also dumbfounded about the Brute Force invite on the sample screen. That would be sweet if they implemented XBL play!

Considering I'm getting the game from DZ in about a week, it would be very sweet!:cheers:

Hmmm, maybe they implemented a new feature where you can play games via system link on XBL? :yikes:

Sounds like a long shot, but could be possible... right?

Maybe Microsoft is incorporating something from XBConnect to Live. Then we would be able to play link games on Live. I would imagine it would require a program running on your computer like XBConnect though...
