The XBL communtiy... A fickle beast you are.

Microsoft, good luck. You shall need it in that den of velociraptors. Do not trust their eyes! They lie to you.

The Cloud Storage thing is the only thing that really stuck out to me, and the fact that it's accessible to basically most everyone with a 360 and is Free is probably one of the most generous, and one of the best things overall that's come for the 360.

I tip my hat to you, Microsoft. This sounds like something extremely convenient and helpful to us.

Seems legit. It really frustrates me when they announce all these "great new features" though because I'll only ever be able to access like 20% of them if I'm lucky, being in New Zealand.

Hurray. More pointless redesigns.

However, the Cloud sounds nice. This will severely cut down on my used memory.

How about this redesign: Let us choose the original layout that came with the system when it was first released! I happened to have been lucky enough to have stopped caring about my 360 when they did that last one with those stupid avatar/mii things (that were mandatory!), so at least I can say this one won't give me any reason to go back for a few more unwanted bells and whistles. I bought my 360 for a game console. And considering it couldn't even function as a passable DVD player (the first time I tried I was horrified by how ugly the picture was), I always liked to think of it as just a game console. Now Microsoft wants it to be like the rest of their insane-wave ideas for aesthetics over function with apps and the whole bang?

All I'm saying is that I'm sick of these motherf***ing apps in this motherf***ing Xbox.

The cloud feature is nice, though, since the gold members do pay a lot and get little else that is gaming related beyond online play. With the limited storage capacity on older 360s, this is a great deal, even if it's just for backups.

Meanwhile, on xbox live in Europe....

You get to play games online. For 60 euros a year. Thats it. Not even dedicated fucking servers. And Microsoft keep on piling up the fancy features for the US.

Im disgusted with myself because I actually paid for this shit for two years.
I sympathize with you guys. I regretted my last subscription after neglecting it for several months because I was sick of the annoying assholes ruining the games and didn't have the time, anyway. The least Microsoft could have done was left the old Blades menu and not foist those pesky avatars on you.

the updated Xbox.com profile is VERY nice since it's a lot more convenient that it was in the past
my friend already has the new update on his 360, altho he says it's a big slow there but I dunno for myself

can't say I've ever really cared too much for a lot of the additional Live features, but the Cloud storage concept is VERY attractive a feature that could really make gaming on a different 360 with one's own account far less of a headache

I want my blades back. It would be really nice if they at least gave you the option.
This. All fucking kinds of this. I raged the fuck out when I updated my 360, and suddenly I've got this shitty dashboard that I didn't even know existed (I never pay attention to anything involving gaming aside from games themselves). And when I tried to factory default it.....still no blades. They at least looked cool. And my backgrounds served a purpose. Now there are giant blocks of icons and a FUCKING GREY BAR COVERING HALF THE PICTURE! That's right! I hate that so much, it's in goddamn caps.

There is a reason why the PS3 hasn't changed its dashboard. Because it doesn't need to. As for the Cloud storage....why? I'm certain most people have harddrives for the console (And if not, Spend the same amount for a 120GB 360 harddrive and get an external 1TB).

RAAAGGGGEEE complete for the week.




But seriously...will we be allowed an option to change the dashboard to look even gayer than it is now?

As a person who may or may not have said update, I have to say it's pretty good. There are many good ideas in it and although it's not perfect, it's certainly an improvement on the current dashboard.
