New Xbox 360 Dashboard

[babyskyline]

Just turned on my 360 and had to d/l an update that took 30 mins....i know my net is a bit slow...installed it and it totally changed the entire dashboard.

I dont like it much. Microsoft should have just left it the way it was.

What does everyone else think of the new dashboard design??

Looks like a mix between PSN and the Wii

I was thinking the same thing lol

Just seemed like an unnecessary download to me....i just wanna get on and play games not spend ages installing updates all the time

it's ok, i dont rate the new friends list thoe i just usually use the one from the guide button

yeah it's very Wii ish but you'll get use to it

the only options I like is that you can turn off the consle by just pressing the guide button (instead of holding the guide button down) and able to install games onto the HDD.. yes you still need the disc in the drive but it uses it to verifiy the game and then it will run all on the HDD

I've tested with Midnight Club: LA and GTA IV (two games very notrious for pop-ups and the disc now keeping up with gameplay) - load times improved by about 4 seconds for both and has very minimal pop-up

Not too good if you have 20GB HDD but i've got a 120GB HDD and you can fit about 10-15 games on the HDD and still space for profile and saves.

Are you talking about games downloaded from PSN?? I'm talking about latest titles such as mirror's edge etc. I belive that PS3 will install some files so it acts as a pre-cache for games

Don't get me wrong I would love to get a PS3 for the pure fact or blu-ray games and FREE online play...unlike the X360 where you need xbox live gold account to play (too bad for me that my console is banned...but who cares)
