¨New Xbox Live Experience¨ NEW DASHBOARD

Postby DrRapid » Nov 19th, '08, 20:47

So what do you think about the new Xbox 360 dashboard where you will find all types of entertainment and you´ll experience new game.

I think it's pretty sexy actually. First of all my favorite, the Party Chat. That's very useful, it's great. The avatars are cool but nothing too amazing really. The dashboard itself is really cool though I nearly preferred the old one. When you press the guide, t's quicker and more comfortable. You can now install games if you feel like it. I just did with Gears Of War 2 and it seems to run slightly smoother but nothing better really.

In general it seems pretty good and it only took 5 minutes to system update.

In fact, they said they was inspired by World of Warcraft..
But yeah I agree with the Mii.
Looks good and feels good too

Since Nintendo makes their OS and their graphics system it's not really Microsoft ripping off Nintendo, it's Nintendo creating an obnoxious little cult.

No you still gotta put the CD in by what I've been told since I haven't tried that yet but if you could do that then copies of the game would be made by hackers. It just makes the games run smoothly (even better).

About the avatars and Mii's. Microsoft did a good job since the avatars are pretty cool. Don't care if they copied, since when don't other companies copy of each other.

The little avatar thing is super gay, and stolen lol (I didn't get a wii cause I don't want a small person on my screen :angry: )

I installed Fallout 3...seems like a second or 2 faster, but it takes up so much room


It's ina way better than a gamer pic plus you can still keep that. Why does everyone always go on and on about stealing? Seriously...everyone copies everyone and Microsoft is a master at copying.

Yeah the game ocupy a lot of space and that's why I got my 120 GBs hanging around happyly.

Right, so it's Nintendo's fault that 360 ripped off one of their ideas? :whistle:

wtf is the XMB?

Have you seen the new XNA thing? You can make your own arcade for the community and if it's very good then they sell it. You obviously gotta pay for the tools to make the arcade. I think it's pretty cool.

Why tf do ppl always say "ah u ripped wii's version" everyone copies everyone, even me in an exam when the dude isn't lookin

XMB = Xross Media Bar, Sony/PS3's "dashboard".

That's why Microsoft is calling it the NXE, because Sony calls their's the XMB.
