Part one of our interview this morning with Xbox’s Aaron Greenberg. In the first section Aaron takes us through the new friends list, avatars, legacy gamer pics and theme compatibility and answers questions about hard drives and ripping your games directly to your Xbox 360.

That hotel room looks like -Blam!-
How many outfits can you save?
Knowing the history of Xbox, it might be just 10 or else it will break their servers. (Friendslist)
Is every MS worker trained on how to not answer questions directly?
Seriously, he could have just said yes or no on the price but he directed the conversation over to the new HD.
Looks pretty interesting and I´m very excited about the avatar customization + especially the 3D-Friendlist-Lobby kinda thing!
Its like an advanced Mii-Channel…but with Xbox Live it REALLY makes sense to have this visualization of your friendlist
Still not really feeling the avatar thing so it’s good to know that the friends list option will still be there. I dunno maybe I just like things simple.
Also the ability to rip games to the HDD would be amazing if the 360 were like the PS3 and we could easily put in whatever size HDD we want. I really want the 120GB HDD, but there’s no way in hell I’m paying $150 for it.
i assume there’s a way of them stopping you burrowing disks and burning them to more than one xbox?
LOL Have a muffin!
I don’t think the game copy feature was accurately described. You can’t copy the game and then play it whenever you’d like from the harddrive. Rather, you copy the game to the hd to improve load times. However, to play the game, you still need it in the disc drive to verify that you own it. Dave mentioned packing his games away, but as it stands right now, you’ve still got to have them available to play them.
