My 4 year old router died this week when switching back from DSL to cable. I purchased a D-Link, but it wont be here for another 3 days. Hopefully most of the E3 traffic will be gone by then.

Any idea if there was a dashboard update that allows download while playing games, or doing other things?

Nothing yet! It sucks to have to download so much stuff and not be able to play Uno!

The situation is worsened by the fact that there is so much new stuff to download too. It would've been nice to start download "b" while viewing/playing (already downloaded) download "a". Stinkin' Microsoft.

I really need to watch/delete some of this stuff on my HDD. before I started downloading todays stuff I noticed I only had 3gigs left. thats pretty bad considering I only have a total of 8 songs on it and the rest is demos and trailers and such.

i just played almost the whole hour with Jenny Mcarthy on marble blast, pretty sweet, she was pretty fun and talking to everyone, she hard a hard time on a couple levels so she was following everyone, she came in last in most games. and about 10 minutes before she left she was talking to someone while playing and she said it was Abc interviewing her.

It's a 3rd person shooter. I saw Cliff playing the game also...looks damn GREAT.

I also D/L the FREE CoD2 map-pack, it was 120+MB (the 400 point one was about the same).

I'll loving all this content, but I've only had so much time to d/l these trailers. Did manage to snag UNO though

Uno is a lot of fun. Its a good time waster and social chatting game.

eatntae, the achivements are really easy to get. Only 2 of them require you to play against other people. The others can be obtained very easy by playing the computer.

When I play, I always use house rules because I can set up the game how I like.

Its usually to 500, 1000 with a partner, one card draw and play it if you can. Progressive penalties, meaning you can stack draw twos on top of each other or the wild draw fours on top of each other. Makes for a devistationg blow if the two people in front of you both lay a draw two or a draw four. You get hit for a lot of cards.

Played the Lost Planet demo. Seemed impressive to me. Looks like it can only get better too. Love the animations.

Downloaded the Viva Pinata trailer. This really looks like it could be something. A good cross between Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon.

Sweet, as i was downloading some demos today, the xbox became really unresponsive and was crawling to a halt. I tried to watch some trailers, and it just got bad, i had to wait 2-3 minutes just for the trailer to start playing. Then, poof. It disconnected me from xbox-live. After that, the system was back to normal and worked great in every aspect. I tried to reconnect, but got a fail at the MTU. Im sure the unit is toast, ill call MS tommorow and have them send me a box to ship this sucker back. I hope they give me a free controller for it, i could really use another =)

Has anyone heard anything about 'Too Human'? I watched the interview on G4 the other night (damn, that is painful to watch). The developer was talking about it being revolutionary because of the camera and what not, but it just didn't look all that exciting. I got the impression that Morgan Webb wasn't too thrilled with it either (she was the one playing during the interview).

I thought the Too Human trailer looked kind of lame. It pains me though that it is bad because i love Norse mythology and a game somewhat based on it would be very cool.
