This topic is about what people think microsoft should have done to improve the xbox 360, Please no trolling, Flaming, Spamming or bashing. And also please do backup your point with a good reason.

-I think one of the key things microsoft should have built into the 360 would be a multi-disc holder. I think that might have boost up there pruchases by quite of bit and would quite handy. As you know today, There are many lazy people (Not to be rude. BTW im not lazy I wouldn't mind but it would have been good for this) that play 360. As you all know it really sucks when your comfertable, Dont wanna get up, No-one around and you just wanna change your disc. It would have been mucher better if before you sat down or something, Just put in all the game discs you might wanna play and then you can switch through them without lifting a leg. You WOULD have to lift a finger to push the button though :p

Well from a technical standpoint putting in a multidisk changer would make things a little more complicated. a Carasoul loader would make the 360 at least twice its current size and sleave changers often jam.

personally I wish they released with a larger hard drive but meh oh well.

There is a reason why the 360 is priced the way it is...If Microsoft added more things like Sony you would all be complaining about the high price tag.

Sure there are those that would rather have lots of things and pay the higher price but I think the 360 is fine the way it is, just need to release a bigger hard drive thats all.

One thing I would love to see would be support for a ton of other formats, such as DivX (which is legit) and MPG and M2V (for streaming, which isn't possible afaik today).

The XNA Game Studio tools that Microsoft is almost finish creating to create games for both Windows and Xbox 360 might make that a reality. Because it will give people like use to code in a Divx support in a form of a program.

I would like to have seen Microsoft release, not only a bigger hard drive, but better support for mp3 player connectivity, I find it hard to get my dj to play on it.

I think they will wish they went with a mandatory hard drive on every system, just because in the long run catering to the gamers with just the core box will be difficult.

They should have made it quieter, it's so damn noisy!

Otherwise I think they did quite a good job, except for not releaseing stuff in places other than America for a few months but everyone does that now.

Well I think that maybe in a buisness sense. It was smart not too. I mean this way, About 80-90% of xbox 360 owners have a premium Xbox.

For all the people who had problems with their Xbox 360 and had to get a replacement. To make it easier for them to get their arcade games back without having to go to Customer Support to supply them points for all these games.
