If you still have the same console that you bought the game on, I believe any other profile can play it. We can test it later if you like, you can try one of the arcade games I've bought and see if it works on another profile

Aye.

Buy the game on console B with profile A.

Then profile A person goes home and turns on his own 360. He can then play the same as long as he's on Live!
Console B can still play the game.

Just seen a vid of Horde for GoW2 and it looks immense.

Hands on with EndWar. Sounds great, apart from sitting alone in your room issuing orders to a tv screen.

There's a video on marketplace showing how it works - looks pretty swish, even if you will sound like a berk

GTAIV, compare loading from DVD and from hard drive

From watching that it looks like there is 10 seconds in it. I took that from the game appearing on the HDD version to the cutscene on the DVD. I was expecting it to be much faster

Word is it's make a bigger difference on older games. Newer titles pretty much now know all the the tricks to speed up loading times anwyay.

It's all about the volume for me, nothing I own loads particularly slowly anyway!
