Woot! Can't wait!
Tiptup300 @ Oct 9th 2008 12:01AM
Why didn't you take any pictures of the finished dash? I wanted to see it to make sure they didn't use the horrible green colorscheme. I loved the mockups. I hope it looks like them.
Si @ Oct 9th 2008 3:09AM
Anyone really unexcited about this? From what I have seen, it makes navigating slower, and does not really offer anything new (aside from the game installs).
On my 20GB Premium, it will allow me to install 1 game, big whoop. From what I see, it gives a very marginal increase in speed (10 secs GTA IV bootup time), but takes an hour to install.
Sure there is lots of hype, But I can't see why, they are just copying Sony/Apple/Nintendo..
DudeRed @ Oct 9th 2008 9:37AM
uh...Netflix...HELLO!!
Moorio - XBL: peacebyanymeans @ Oct 8th 2008 11:42PM
Finally, a date...
Phillip @ Oct 9th 2008 11:13AM
I went on one of those once.
...oh, wait. No I didn't.
draggingalake @ Oct 8th 2008 11:43PM
yeah! powerpoint on the xbox!
Sora @ Oct 8th 2008 11:45PM
I honestly haven't heard that one before, I lol'd.
Tiptup300 @ Oct 9th 2008 12:02AM
I don't get it. :X
Minimalist360 @ Oct 8th 2008 11:46PM
will all features be present on launch day? Specifically netflix streaming?
Looking foreward to a new experience.
Badboy1979 @ Oct 8th 2008 11:56PM
Hope so... they said it was the "complete and final" build they were showing at TGS.
Minimalist360 @ Oct 9th 2008 10:08AM
Wow, my first post on joystiq and I misspell forward. holy beans.
ice~ @ Oct 8th 2008 11:54PM
EEEEEEEEEEEEEP it's sexy :D
Ranus Studios @ Oct 8th 2008 11:59PM
Yes.
"Finally."
Parsnipzilla @ Oct 8th 2008 11:59PM
Awesome, being in New Zealand has it's advantages, mainly getting the NXE FIRST IN THE WORLD
NeoK-182 @ Oct 9th 2008 12:24AM
Does anyone find this date a bit late. Scene it 2 which uses avatars comes out on the 28th and originally MS said that gears 2 would come with it and thats on the 7th.
blah. at least it's actually fall this time
SecretAgentHam @ Oct 9th 2008 12:34AM
it is a shame it doesnt come out before/same time with gears but hey, its a FREE update. cant complain i guess.
Sirmikael @ Oct 9th 2008 1:00AM
Wow, talk about a really late "Fall" date. I know Winter doesn't technically start until around December 20th, but there is already snow on the ground up in the North by late November.
Linkario @ Oct 9th 2008 1:33AM
I guess I'm the only one that isn't impressed? This new dash looks pretty pre-teen-esque. I guess you guys can download the new dashboard after you are done watching High School Musical...
QUICKLY, VOTE ME DOWN!
Deeznuts420 @ Oct 9th 2008 12:03PM
done anddddddddddddddd done. :D
In A World (XBL) @ Oct 9th 2008 2:56AM
Just 41 precious days with my sweet sweet blades.
Ron @ Oct 9th 2008 4:07AM
I'm really looking forward to this. Its not something I expected honestly, and it's good that the UI is being updated. It's basically going to provide a deeper level of ease of
use, Netflix streaming, and my favorite feature, HDD installs, this will be great for playing Elder Scrolls 4. Now I just have to get a bigger hard drive, something I never thought I'd need.
Evan @ Oct 9th 2008 8:07AM
I'll bet that most 360s sold this Christmas won't have this update, and a million people will try to download this all on Christmas day, making for some very slow downloads and unhappy kids this Christmas.
Minimalist360 @ Oct 9th 2008 10:10AM
I would bet that unlike, say, Apple and the way they handled the 3G iPhone launch, things will go smoothly. Microsoft will handle this download fine, would be my best guess given the information that I have.
Jay @ Oct 9th 2008 8:09AM
Happy Birthday to me
forestofdeath @ Oct 9th 2008 4:10PM
well shit, how did microsoft know my birthday? :D
M4R71N @ Nov 2nd 2008 2:50PM
Its cool an all how you can rent movies from netflix on the new "experience". But this is an XBOX, its a gaming console not a movie theatre. My opinion is that if you should rent anything through xbox...it should be a game...not movies.
kevin @ Nov 19th 2008 7:30AM
the new experience is more like a nintendo wii. very feminine. screens are smaller. not impressed, I don't have a netflix account either. someone told me you can also surf the net with the nxe, not true from what i can see...
