- mattyice11, on 07/02/2008, -0/+98What spring update? It's already summer.
- LimeParrot, on 07/02/2008, -1/+78This is clearly a rumor. I hate it when diggers remove the question mark from "X360 to get a dashboard makeover?" to totally change the meaning.
- BedPost, on 07/02/2008, -1/+53***** everything else, just give me four-way private chat.
- saucedmike, on 07/02/2008, -2/+50They wouldn't make a dashboard update like this that only a portion of their users would be using. (those that buy the rumored motion controller)
- tidefan94, on 07/02/2008, -3/+44If this is true it will probably be either insanely cool or completely useless.
- ELLIS1128, on 07/02/2008, -2/+32I love my 360 but a motion controller is destined to fail.
- ThePeacemaker02, on 07/01/2008, -3/+29It would have to be built into the normal controller or something like that to work, I don't want to use a remote type of thing to navigate the interface only to have to switch to a controller to play a game. Guess we'll find out at E3.
- Evolutuon, on 07/02/2008, -25/+49If anything, they need to make it faster. It just feels too slow.
- da_bradler, on 07/02/2008, -7/+30hey, kinda like Apples products!
- redneckblues, on 07/02/2008, -1/+14Or both... O_O
- theaceoffire, on 07/02/2008, -2/+13T.
- da_bradler, on 07/02/2008, -0/+11Not in Australia!
- tanside, on 07/02/2008, -5/+16"President Bush is a douche?"
feel free to remove the question mark on that one. - Murdats, on 07/02/2008, -2/+12your right, I am still playing on my sega genisis and running a 486 with dos v3
I see no point in changing until it breaks. - abrasion, on 07/02/2008, -6/+15I couldn't want this LESS!
First my PS3 gets an update with lame trophies (copies of achievements) which I don't want (I don't care about e-penis size or arbitrary cookies for completing a likely inane task)
Now my 360 is rumoured to get a 3D interface?
Wanna impress us?
Give us either more game functionality or better media playback people! I want my damn 360 or PS3 to make my Xbox 1 with XBMC retire, but no, it's still by far the best option for media playback in my loungeroom :(
If anything the 360 UI should copy the PS3, it's very very quick and easy to navigate and with the right theme surprisingly easy on the eye. - abrasion, on 07/02/2008, -1/+10I love video games, single player ones with good storylines. I love them more than a good movie, a good book or a good TV show. A great SP game with a good story is a beautiful thing, so much fun and potential engrossment into the media.
I do not like games with 'now finish the same level, running backwards, with only the spitball gun on insane difficulty for a 'trophie!!''
Now finish it again but in 30 seconds for ANOTHER SHINY TROPHY!!
yay..... - Nlewis4, on 07/02/2008, -3/+12no motion controller please. This isn't a wii, it's just a ***** gimmick that will be poorly implemented if true
- jr8rulz, on 07/02/2008, -2/+10what i find to be ridiculous is the idea that people actually WANT this kind of interface in their game system from any of the manufacturers.
- HBNDonut, on 07/02/2008, -0/+7Ive been crying out for multi user private chat since i can remember. I've given up trying.
- aroundtheblock, on 11/06/2008, -1/+8mkv support would be nice :/
- CrimsonBlur, on 07/02/2008, -2/+9For anyone getting their hopes up about this: it's not going to happen. There, you can stop speculating now.
- lcmatt, on 07/02/2008, -0/+7Probably be built into the controller like the Wii/PS3. I'd personally prefer more customization, with more blade colours and other options to help make the dashboard more unique.
- inajeep, on 07/02/2008, -2/+9It's broken then, get it repaired.
- Jenadae, on 07/02/2008, -1/+8Irony in its best...
- drpcken, on 07/02/2008, -0/+7I noticed that when I have the wifi adapter hooked up to my 360 it slows the dashboard down considerably, its almost unbearable.
That thing is evil! - LordSkywalker, on 07/02/2008, -0/+6I'm looking forward to the rumored major overhaul of the current dash, but I doubt it'll be 3D. Also highly doubt it would be limited to users who buy a specific peripheral.
- HumanRecalled, on 07/02/2008, -2/+8Don't really care to be honest ...as a Canadian all i want is to be able to buy view/preview NEW and OLD movies in the amount the U.S has ( united states has like 475 ! ) We Canadians got 145 if were lucky and 100 of them are in the 70's era not even 480p quality !
And be able to view said previews before buying a movie correctly besides trying to squint ( yes ,even on my 1080 p46 inch LCD screen ) with little 3 inch x4 box with horrible pixelated footage !
It's been almost 1 year since the announcement at last E3 that we were getting Movie option and we have yet to get TV shows or Music videos !! Very frustrating considering Apple allows all these options via Itunes now in Canada !! ........Why can't Microsoft ?
Heres an idea drop that ***** DRM ***** and region blockers have more HD content !! We all live in North America BTW !!!! ..and how about a ***** browser ( we are borderline there now with MSN crap !! ).....so we can view video sites like youtube and dailymotion and break etc and really make this a complete entertainment unit !!
And wheres the codecs M$ promised i still gotta use a 3rd party app to stream data !! WTF !! Total BS !
Screw how fancy the dash board should or should not be !! Fix all this cause no matter how pretty or better the dash board is it all leads us to the same ***** ! - noots, on 07/02/2008, -3/+9it does need a re-design though imo. The actual interface works, it just looks like some retarded twelve year old has applied a bunch of photoshop tutorials to it. They don't really need to move anything just "re-skin" it to look a bit more professional.
- tendonut, on 07/02/2008, -1/+6I call BS on that. The XBL sound quality is barely better than tin can and string. How can that be eating up any bandwidth at all? I myself using my own DSL connection can host a 8-person Ventrilo server using a very high quality codec without it effecting my overall connection speed and giving the 8 people pings under 60.
- CrimsonBlur, on 07/02/2008, -7/+12Better than the PS3. Sony thinks the XMB is the ultimate user interface when in reality it is crap. The XMB is nice for a handheld device or an HDTV where all you're doing is selecting options from lists, but it doesn't fly for a console. The XBOX 360 blade system is far superior in just about every way imaginable.
Just to thwart the fanboys: I own both a PS3 and 360. - MWeather, on 07/02/2008, -0/+5Since you're in the Beta, what exactly is Home doing with the game lobbies/matchmaking?
- thecheatah, on 07/02/2008, -4/+9isnt today when we get the new in game xmb
- rossinio, on 07/02/2008, -0/+5I did that now my xbox doesn't work! Do you have to have it turned off when you put in the ram only it made a kind of screaming noise and smelt funny when I did it?
- tendonut, on 07/02/2008, -2/+6Ever hear of the Tilt Pak for the N64? Didn't do so hot...
- redneckblues, on 07/02/2008, -1/+5Good point.
- M724, on 07/02/2008, -1/+5it is my mission to avoid any E3 speculation and wait and see what will officially be announced.
- theaceoffire, on 07/02/2008, -0/+4It happened!
Can't do in game music unless the game supports it though, so there will be some patches soon. - Cyber_Akuma, on 07/02/2008, -1/+5Probably the same people who would want the ability to resize photos on their phone by pinching the screen.
- SSUK, on 07/02/2008, -2/+5Get off and stay off Digg. Your comments are no longer welcome.
- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -1/+4I don't care just give us 16:10 support for those that play on LCD monitors.
- sparkleton, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3What?
- adml_shake, on 07/02/2008, -0/+3I thought they said there wasn't going to be a spring update? Wasn't there a big ass list of stuff that was rumored to be coming out a few weeks ago, but got put down at the last minuet by MS with them saying that there would be no spring update?
- apoc06, on 07/02/2008, -0/+3i agree with you. a console is a console and should act as such. the added features are nice, but too often they take away the focus of gaming. gaming functions that need to be addressed should be finished first before adding entertainment value addins.
however, if a company is going to advertise a product as a "media center", it should act as such. you should get what you paid for. - 007isbond1, on 07/02/2008, -1/+4agreed
- MWeather, on 07/02/2008, -1/+4I haven't hard many criticisms of motion control from 360 owners unless the motion control is on the PS3.
Since this isn't the PS3, they'll love it. - MWeather, on 07/02/2008, -0/+3Not if you can do with with one hand using buttons.
- caseyd, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3xbox with xbmc is my way of life.
- estvir, on 07/02/2008, -10/+13Wow, they came up with something more useless than Home. I doubt this is true anyway.
- apoc06, on 07/02/2008, -0/+3@ abrasion:
the wonderful thing ab trophies and acheivements is... [drumroll]... you dont need to use them. games can be completed and enjoyed without requiring you to get every single acheivement or trophy. it was novel at first, but i havent cared about my gamerscore in over a year now. the trophy system seems nice, but if theres no payoff other than bragging rights, i dont see them being useful.
hell, would it be /that/ hard to incorporate the trophy/ achievement systems into a form of discount system when purchasing DLC? - inajeep, on 07/02/2008, -1/+4I wish they used the camera for the controls. I don't really want to buy yet another peripheral that I won't use.
