| Games People Play Games People Play is where to discuss personal computer, video game console, and arcade hardware and software - be it RPG, Sim, Strategy, Fighting, Action/Platform, or any other category. Although discussion of modern platforms/software will most likely dominate, discussion of classic videogame/computer hardware and software is always enjoyable, and certainly welcome - ESPECIALLY since there are public domain/shareware emulators of nearly every older computer/console available these days. Here's a taste of what awaits you: Nintendo-vs-Sega-vs-Sony, Console-vs-PC-vs-Mac, Hardware spec sheets/information, Industry news and discussion, Software reviews, IRC conference announcements/Reports, Emulators, Emulators, Emulators! ... and much, much more! |

They are working on the douche bag time zone.
At least this is what i'm lead to believe by the way that new dashboard looks.

Re: So where is it!?
I got it just a few minutes ago. There's a lot there - everything's changed.
*Not that much has really changed. It's the same stuff in different places. It seems like it might be a little faster overall. The disc installs don't take very long either.

Re: So where is it!?
The avatar system is retarded....but even so, why can't I change the fucking color of my guys clothes? How hard would that be to implement?
Why do they go to all this trouble to put in a new feature and then half ass it? I WANT THE BLADES BACK!

Re: So where is it!?
meh. shit is trying to mix ps3 and wii together. P-Box Wii60??? I dont fucking know. but yeah, its kinda cool. moves faster, not as much lag. The avatar system is fucking stupid. and the dashboard is just there kinda. All in all, its good but its still bad, it needs working on. i honestly dont give a rats ass. as long as i can play games and dont have to look at the dashboard as much as possible i really dont care

Re: So where is it!?
Personally I kind of like the new Xbox Dashboard... It seems less laggy and moves quicker... Updates take less time and I really don't mind the little Me guy thing considering I am always in game and I don't normally see it. Overall its ok and just takes a bit of everything from the other major consoles
I give it a 4 out of 5.

Re: So where is it!?
The description for marketplace items being in a separate "blade" rather than a little frame is a huge improvement. With the way it used to be, you would have to wait for that thing to slowly automatically scroll down a little bit at a time to read about anything on the marketplace. I also like what they did with the guide button, making it.. It seems like the old blades system has been compacted into the guide button's menu. Also, you can shut the console down from the first press of the guide button.
I was disappointed with the lack of options for the avatar too. It's obvious microsoft just doesn't want to give us the option to change a shirt color to red so they sell us a red shirt for 50 microsoft fun bucks. They've started doing this already essentially with giving out special clothing as in-game rewards for buying the "Community games" (the one I saw this described in was selling for 800 microsoft fun bucks).

Re: So where is it!?
2 features i might use, The netflix, and the install. But i am probably just going to stick to normal playing.
The netflix might be used by my whole family though, which is pretty damn useful

Re: So where is it!?
Whats the install? Is that where you can save games onto your hard drive so you dont need a disk?

You would think that but, no. Yes, you save the game on your hard drive, but you still need a disk. It's pointless really. Supposedly, it makes it quieter while playing, but it also takes up 6 gigs a game which I think I can manage the noise if you know what I mean.

Re: So where is it!?
Did anybody else spend 15 minutes looking through the options of avatars before realizing that once you chose one you could change its apperance?
