What do you do if you want to down load a huge game demo over your painfully slow internet connection but you don't want to leave your 360 on all night? Ahh, enable background downloads. With this feature you start a download (or many) then turn the console off. It goes into a reduced power mode and continues downloading. The power light flashes slowly in this mode. When the download is finished it powers off. Thank you Mr. Xbox.
New 360's next year, with HD-DVD, 1080p HDMI, 65 nm chips, 320 GB disk and silent fan?
