This is a pretty cool idea. Will it push downloads to a powered-down console if background downloading is turned on? It would be pretty cool to tell my Xbox to download a demo and have it waiting for me when I get home.

The downloads will be available when you turn the console on. It doesn't turn the console on for you and download. I wish it would work that way, but it doesn't. That's how I understand it.

Not 100% sure, but I think it ques things up to download the next time the system is turned on. That would be an awesome feature though. Kind of a "wake on LAN" thing. Guess we'll find out tomorrow.

There's no way they'll do a wake-on-LAN feature. How would Microsoft's server send a message to an Xbox behind a firewall or router? It would encourage people to connect their Xbox directly to the Internet, and then have it remotely turn on while no one's home. That sounds like a hacking nightmare to me.

Yea, because the 360 is so vulnerable to remote exploitation.

I imagine it would only be the same as the Wii's Wiiconnect24, tabicat.

When exactly will be the NXE available? I mean will it be at 00:00 or at some random hour during the day?

Any information or predictions about that?

I just can't wait to get my hands on this tomorrow!
Sucks though it will be up at 11.00 AM here in Belgium but screw that!
Microsoft did a FINE job here!
I'm happy I bought this console!

Bad idea, especially as no 360 will ever last 10years, so most will be on console number 5 minimum.

I want a neXtBOX to be out by 2011.

maybe this will be the best way to download new stuff because i hate the way the new marketplace is set up and it is much slower.
