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 :P

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

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.

Now all you need is a good game to play on it lol

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)

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
