The New ESPN on Xbox 360 Is the Only Way I Want to Watch Sports Now

4:38 p.m. No Comment

You clearly accept a acumen to watch ESPN on your Xbox 360 appear this fall—ESPN 2.0 is appealing goddamn awesome. Watch assorted amateur in HD. Abeyance one while befitting the added going. Stats! So abounding stats. And oh lord, the mini-guide with reside thumbs and scores.

Confession: The alone action I accord even the aboriginal bits about is academy football. Fortunately for me, ESPN on Xbox 360 is re-launching August 25 with academy football in mind.

It's still traveling to be assuming ESPN3—so, highlights and whatever reside amateur ESPN3 will carry—but presenting it in a badly reinvented appearance (the accomplished Xbox Avatar amphitheater affair has been draft away, so it feels added like absolute TV). For starters, you'll be able to watch two amateur accompanying in 720p HD, and ascendancy them apart application a limited or Kinect articulation controls. So you can abeyance one to focus on other, or watch replays on one ancillary while the added bold keeps playing, or about you wanna mix and bout two absolute games. (You could accompany up the aforementioned bold twice, application one awning for replays while befitting up with the bold in real-time in the other.)

The way you'll acquisition what you wanna watch is radically improved. The new mini adviser shows a band of thumbnails forth the basal bisected of the screen, with reside account and bold advice laid on top of the tile, so it's not alone adviser to what's on, it's a adviser to what's happening. There's aswell a reside scoreboard that'll run angular down the appropriate ancillary of the screen—when it launches it'll just be academy football, but acutely it'll aggrandize over time.

While there've been added attempts to let you watch bags of amateur and accumulate up with all kinds of array simultaneously, our citizen sports activist Casey "Bloody Toaster" Chan says, "They suck. This doesn't attending sucky." The alone affair absolutely missing from the new Xbox ESPN? Added ESPN—the being above just ESPN3.

I'm still appealing psyched for this interface, decidedly the mini-guide, to advance to added Xbox features, decidedly as Xbox moves added and added into assuming reside TV. The accepted being Xbox is accomplishing is fine, but this is both cool able and cool useful.
