If it is greyed out, then you have the update (or it is not seeing the newest update)... check your store tab and see if it is different... that is how I realized I had the update, then saw the manage storage change under settings.

I wasn't planning to get an external drive but now I'm interested. I get desperate waiting for Watch Dogs to load.

Do you have a link to any benchmarks?

I wonder how performance would be if you put an SSD into a USB enclosure.

This Reddit thread has some load time comparisons:

And yes, they test an SSD.

Best Buy Deal of the Day is $25 Xbox Gift Card for $20, plus an extra $5 XBL credit. So $30 for $20. Best deal since points went away.

Phil Spencer dropped some more info about the extra GPU power for devs who are not utilizing Kinect in their game. Obviously, unplugging the Kinect is not necessary. Also, it still works for dashboard commands like "record that" etc, no matter what.

Anyone want to buy a 12-month XBL code for $40? It appears my subscription runs longer than I thought and I don't need it.

I wonder if there's a Kickstopper campaign to kill this game before release.

The pithy little comments about the Kinect are getting trite and tiresome. We get it.

4 more months, oh well. Definitely on my radar of games to get, that's for sure.

Microsoft spent months shoving it down our throats. We can't shove back for a couple of weeks?

I am still happy with my Kinect. I hope a couple small games come out similar to Happy Action Theater, but I enjoy voice commands enough that it has been worth the money imo.

I don't really use my Kinect but that doesn't mean I think it's lame or useless. I do use it to sign in

I have auto-sign in now. At the moment I use it for some voice commands where it's easier to say "Go Home" than to click the B button multiple times on my Harmony.

Can't wait for this press conference to start! Too bad I'll miss the second half and have to watch it this afternoon

Side note: Phil Spencer confirmed in his latest podcast that both Destiny and Sunset Overdrive will use the extra 10% GPU power. Destiny will crank up the resolution and Sunset Overdrive will make the world more immersive (whatever that means). Good too see games already utilizing the extra power if they don't have any motion tracking capabilities. All voice commands still will function correctly.

I still don't understand what this 10% boost thing actually is. Can someone explain it to me in layman's terms?
