5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
Some obvious questions arise from the XBLA reshuffle. Q: Why are you delisting games? A: We have a LOT of XBLA titles onto the service. By filtering out the lower performing games, it will actually make it easier to find the games you really want. Q: If I bought a game, and deleted it, can I redownload it even if it's been delisted? A: Yes, you can. Go to Download History under the Account Management section of marketplace (far left blade). Q: Can I still play a game after it's been delisted? What about playing online? What about leaderboards? A: Yes, yes, and yes. The game will function normally even after being delisted. You can continue to play the game single and multiplayer, as well as use the leaderboards as you normally would Game limits on XBLA titles are being lifted from 150mb to 350mb. Meaning, yes it will take longer to download some titles, but the games on offer will have a new level of sophistication. Hopefully! Though it also seems they could be pricier with a new 1600 point option for publishers. There will be no Spring Dashboard update for the Xbox 360. According to Whitten the team is hard at work solving DRM issues with transferring content between Xbox 360’s. “I can tell you that the team will be releasing a new digital rights management (DRM) tool next month that will allow you to better consolidate your licenses for downloaded content to a single Xbox and allow you the freedom to be able to play your content both online and offline.” Whitten said |
