Xbox 360 users, two things: one, you're getting back the option to boot your console straight to a disc, and two, your Xbox.com Gamercards are in for a change. That is all.

Why No Man's Sky Is The Most Necessary Game
I'm writing this while sitting on a train. It's almost full, packed with commuters. Most have their heads down looking at the tiny screens of their phones. Schoolkids argue loudly about something I can't quite hear. Some people are just waiting, staring out the windows. Staring at the floor. Eating some chips. Everyone on public transportation is on pause, between one thing and the next. Worried about their destination. Excited to get there or dreading the moment they arrive.
This is what a large number of human beings do every day. Locked in a steel box, eager to be somewhere else. It is a bizarre modern practice but it has become completely mundane for millions. A lot do it because they require money for food and shelter. Otherwise they will die hungry and alone. They invented trains and all the corresponding destinations. They pay close attention when to exit and are ready to get instantly annoyed if the train isn't quick enough. They will spend years, decades, perhaps even centuries doing this. Or at least until teleportation is commercially available.
What Are You Playing This Weekend?
There's nothing like trackwork to set you up for a long weekend of gaming.

Didnt realise I couldn't boot straight to a game. Never used the option.
Any idea how the cards are changing?
Same, I hate booting straight to a disc when you boot the thing up. I want to be able to muck around on the dash/xmb before diving in.
mine used to do it when i first got it. If I used the eject button to turn it on and put a disk in, it would boot straight to the game.. I disabled that real quick cos it was damn annoying!
Ditto. Load to disc is a pain in the backside. I like to check out the game marketplace for demos, vids etc and have them download while I play a game or watch other videos.
Main change is that they are dropping the gamer zone(recreation pro etc). The one I saw was black and a bit cooler. Nothing really. Didn't check the above link as already typing but check major melding blog. You'll see one.
If nobody told me I would never have noticed...
There was the option to boot straight to a disc? Where?!? I hate forgetting to mash A so it boots up what I want to play.
(Also, is there a boot to disc option for the PS3?)
Yes, it's called auto-start disc and I think it's in the system setting options
Apparently theyre just re enabling this function which was broken in the new dashboard update end of last year..
