Broward83 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2008 So while I was at work today, Xbox apparently called my house and my girlfriend picked up to find out that Microsoft was still having problems finding my address. After finally getting it taken care of (I think), my girlfriend said that they'd overnite my box to make sure I get it here on Monday to ship it out. She also said they seemed hesitant on the phone and were quick to expedite my box..more than likely from my getting rather angry on the phone with them over the past weeks.

KingPK 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2008 Joystiq has a nice video tour of the NXE. For us Netflix users, not only will you be able to stream content to your 360, you can do it in HD. It's only a small amount of titles (about 300) and you'll probably need a very good connection, but that's still awesome. I'm stacking my Instant Queue in anticipation of November 19th.

Thoth 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2008 Seeing Toth on Netflix on my friends list makes me angry. *shakes fist in impotent rage* Thoughts on the whole NXE shebang so far. Avatars are dumb as all hell. I think you'll agree with me. The new Interface does some getting used to, but eventually, you see where everything's moved around to. The way Game Profile pages are set up with information on each screen is a really good idea and awesome. I have access to Community Games now. Haven't downloaded any trials. Setting up Netflix was easy and works exactly as advertised... but there really are slim pickings in the Instant Watch category. Got plenty of anime, I guess. I also tried out Netflix in HD, and was pleased with the quality (Pan's Labryinth) Installed Gears of War 2 to the hard drive. Maybe it's faster? I can't tell. Oh well, I have the 120 GB drive, might as well... but I won't shed a tear if I have to delete installs to make space. The Party system looks nice... if I had anyone on my friends list who could do it. Two more days. Little feature I actually like: You have a new system setting option. When you put a disc in the drive, you know how the game automatically loads? You can turn that off now. You can launch an arcade game, or a game on disc, while in another game by using the guide. But there is something else... I feel like I've been lied to. Yes, the guide has improved, there's blades, blah blah blah. We've been told you can do anything from the blades, even within a game. So I go to the Marketplace Blade, see what content I can download. I select an option. "Doing this will sign you out of your game, and take you to the main menu. Do you wish to proceed?" WHAT THE FUCK. I want to buy content while I'm playing my game; fuck you. (Before I continue, this doesn't affect games that can display the Marketplace UI to download their content, like Guitar Hero 3, or other things. But if I want to download a Pinball FX table and I'm playing Katamari or some shit, I want to download that fucking table, fuck you. Edit: Forgot a feature. If you boot up a game that your friends are currently playing, you will see a notification that you have friends playing. To be honest, once we all have the NXE tomorrow, the biggest feature, IMO, will be parties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's such a little thing...but sometimes I put a disc in that I want to play...eventually...but I want to go sit down and look through marketplace or play an arcade game or two first. God...remember how annoying it was when the system would start going striaght to whatever was in the disc tray? so annoying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fazzle 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2008 At first the 360 automatically went into the game when you powered on. Then you had the option of booting to the dashboard instead of the game. Now you have the option of not having the game load up when you put it in. Xbox 360: Making it easier to not play games on your gaming system! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They only change load times 10-20 seconds, and even make halo 3 take longer to load. --snip-- Maybe not for the load times, but the fact that the disc drive stops spinning is a moderate deal to me. I don't imagine that being a selling point, though. But god, it's so quiet. Anyway, other (small) things I have noticed: If you previously downloaded the optional media update for iPod/DivX compatibility, get ready to redownload it. Not a big deal, really. Netflix is a 3 MB download when you first run it. Also, they really do get added to your Instant Queue that fast (10-45 seconds). Your old themes will suck. New themes kind of suck too. Maybe I will enjoy avatars more when I play with my friends, but for now, kinda stupid. Not enough clothing options. I have no interest in the Community Games available, to be honest. WTF was that Welcome Video?! Seriously?! The way the achievements you've earned in all games is laid out in your My Xbox is superb. Side note: Columbia pictures (Owned by Sony) will not allow their movies to be watched from Instant Queue... IF... AND ONLY IF... you are watching them from your Xbox.
