it's a new system for delivering ads. loads and loads of ads. on a console I already paid for, with an online subscription fee.

I was hoping it would make the 360 menus more like the PS3 menus, but it's still a big confusing mess.

It's pretty gay.

How much space does it take?

I still can't decide if I want a PS3 or an Xbox360...

the only thing I enjoy it for is the ability to load games onto the hard drive. Now I don't have to play along with a jet engine in my living room.

I dunno. I've been watching cheesy 80s shows on the netflix streaming. right now it's knight rider.

there are some good aspects to the update, but so much of it is trying too hard to be family friendly and hip.

well maybe if they had built wireless into this stupid thing I could test that theory.

I'm wired all the way.

do they do anything? there was no option to not make one, but he doesn't dance or fight or play sports as far as I can tell.

Um, if you're in a "party" you can wiggle the head around and he will start to make faces.. like if you shake the head violently he'll get dizzy. If you shake your head up and down he smiles... back and forth as if to say "no" he gets all angered.

Plus you can use them in games like uno and some others. Haven't tried that yet.

and soon we'll be able to buy them new clothes! Yesssshhh!

well that's good, because I'd never wear khaki fucking cargo shorts, so neither should the avatar that almost half looks like me.

dude. you hadnt even downloaded it yet and you already determined its gay from what youve seen in pictures and videos? those two mediums do provide enough evidence to form an opinion most of the time, but why dont you wait to give it a test run before you start knockin it. you are quickly becoming anthony.2 by disliking and bashing everything mentioned on the board, bro, what gives?


Actually I did install it before I made the post and poked around for 20 mins., even created an Avatar, I however did not waste anymore time figuring out how much space it took.

Avatars suck when Nintendo came up with the idea, and they are still gay, no matter the polish that goes into them.

And fuck you anyways Mongo, I liked you better when you were a fucking burnout crackhead.

Live has always had adds for up coming events, games. This update makes them less annoying because i dont have to see them if i skip that channel.

I actually prefer it, had it since the weekend, some loading times are cut down, pop up is fixed in others ... yada yada..

I don't know, they look like they're everywhere to me.

maybe not in the my xbox channel, but everywhere else.

and it takes like a million clicks to get to things like your arcade games. not that I play those anymore anyways.

the real benefit is the new guide button menu, which is just streamlined miniblades.

my avatar doesn't look like me.

I made the spitting image of my roommate in 5 seconds, but there's no way to capture me. they need a frazzled messy hairstyle and stubble.

its the closest thing to what my hair actually looks like, so I put a fedora on. I own a fedora, so that works.

i thought i had the wii turned on when they were making me pick a little dude/avatar/whatever.

then the new menu system made me wonder how much money they should send sony for just taking the xmb and putting it on the y-axis.

this netflix streaming thing is pretty great, but microsoft can hardly take credit for that.

can't wait until they integrate it into the ps3.

they didn't crib enough from the xmb if you ask me.

having to click through to different scrolling menus and menus within menus is all fucking ridiculous.
