xbox360guy · 18-11-08, 04:58 PM

ye... just like the Miis from Nintendo..

gotta say... it's nicer than the old 360 dashboard by far.

I never knew you could install your games on your hdd

. Is this something new with the update? Or has it always been there?

Just need to get a elite with the big harddrive now

What would be great is for Microsoft to release a skinning kit allowing people to create their own dashboards, should'nt be to hard to base it on some form of xhtml and just give all the content areas a range of tags...

They'd charge you to do it knowing Microsoft, and then I bet their call centres would be barraged with help to do with it, so I doubt it :P

Jon · 18-11-08, 08:48 PM

Not really, thinking about it more, they could easily wrap it all in a PC program to do the design, guess it would just be an extension of frontpage or an office prog.

They prob would charge for it, or better still allow publishers to sell skin's in a marketplace or similar.

Shame I don't work for Microsoft

Haha, I've just came off mine... will check it again.

Parkdude · 19-11-08, 08:18 AM

I went on at 07:30 to check the update, but not there

PS - how do you get your gamertag in your sig? I'm sure I tried before and failed miserably

Schism · 19-11-08, 09:54 AM

Schism · 19-11-08, 10:27 AM

Woop! It's downloading now on my console

mattflower · 19-11-08, 10:28 AM

Comes out at 11, did you lot not get the message from the XBL team?

I think the avatars look proper crap, but am really looking forward to installing games.
Hopefully it'll speed up the load time and quiet it down quite a bit!!

I only have the 20GB drive so I hope it's not a full 8GB install (Not 4.7 as someone said above, thats single layer

)

Schism · 19-11-08, 10:45 AM

I want my old monkey avatar back

mattflower · 19-11-08, 11:20 AM

your gamercard has updated to your mii already!!

Looks gash

Adr1an · 19-11-08, 11:36 AM

gash lmao haha

ill give it a try

mattflower · 19-11-08, 11:42 AM

Well if I wanted a wii I would have got one for free

As above, I chose the xbox cos it's more grown up. Do I really want some little cartoon character to be my main interface before I go and witness some hideous violenece on world of war? or GTA?
MS haven't thought this one through really

Schism · 19-11-08, 11:43 AM

I have found out how to change it back!
