Download Xbox 360 Demos While Doing Other Things On the System

[kracken]

From a reliable source at this week's CES is that a future Xbox 360 update will allow you to download Xbox Live Marketplace demos in the background while doing other things on your Xbox 360.

The things you will be able to do while downloading demos in the background were not revealed, but we were told that this feature was planned from the very beginning, but needed to be removed before launch because of it wasn't fully tested. Microsoft is working on finalizing this feature and in the near future we should be able to play music, movies, views photos, and maybe even play games while waiting for the latest game demo or movie trailer to download to our Xbox 360's hard drive from the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Excellent news m8, I was going to ask about this as its a nightmare waiting for the larger demos to download.

Any idea when?

Cheers
