No automatic XBLA downloads for the NXE

During our extensive video tour of the New Xbox Experience, we managed to miss that an old feature has actually been removed. Specifically, we’re talking about the ability to download all Xbox Live Arcade games automatically. We’re not sure how many people actually use the feature, but for those that like to at least try every XBLA game (or those that started a weekly video series about XBLA), it was pretty handy. When MTV’s Stephen Totilo asked Microsoft’s John Schappert about the removal of the feature, Schappert replied, “You actually use that?”

While the reason why the feature has gone missing remains a mystery, Totilo was told “it may come back in a future release.” We’ll just have to wait an see. Get your own hands on the otherwise feature-packed NXE when it debuts next month.
