Nintendo WiFi has essentially instantly owned Xbox Live

[Paco]

You have to eject the disk, which instantly quits the game (just like with the Dreamcast). This also disconnects you from Live, though my default option in the system setup is to log me in automatically in the BIOS. Then, you put in the new game, load it up, and log back into Live. Technically, you don't actually have to power the system down, but the effect is the same as if you did.

Still, it's nice to be invited to other games while playing a game.

It no longer disconnects you from live when changing games...

It's just that there are so many little things I read about it that I didn't really appreciate until I experienced them. For example, I was playing Kameo, and a friend got online and requested a voice chat. I entered the voice chat and continued playing my game. He asked me if I wanted to play hockey and I said sure, so I quit Kameo, put in NHL 2K6, go to the lobby, and start playing a game with him. The game crapped out due to a network problem.


The whole time we were chatting. It never dropped for any reason, even when our game crapped out (2K servers are a bit dodgy). Freakin' awesome!
