Ve3tro: Xbox 360, Dashboard Update Preview

Ve3tro writes: "Well, Microsoft announced at E3 that we, the lucky 360 gamer will be getting a swathe of new content towards the end of the year.

As a build up to this huge update in which we will see the use of Twitter and Facebook, Microsoft offered gamers the chance to get into a beta of the update. While this beta will not include all of the features from the full update, it does include minor adjustments to the operating system of the 360.

Out of the millions of people that must've signed up for this beta, I was one of the lucky ones to get in and I'm bringing you my thoughts."

i wish looked like this...i dislike 360 but this looks awesome.

I kind of liked the semi isometric appearance of the various screens. It gave the sense of depth where as this is more flat. I can assume it is that way for the ability to use hand motion to control the NXE.

At first I liked it but then I remembered that with the 3-D view you could actually see more content on screen in a better way.|

I like the simplicity of the presentation though, it looks slick. Just wish it was still 3-Dish

I wish PS3 looked like this; I dislike Xbox.

Playstation Home Avatars Still Own NXE Avatars

He's butthurt over some virtual characters. That is sad.

-Alpha4959d ago

Too bad you can't use Home avatars as your own avatar, that would have been nice.

darthv724959d ago

there isnt much use of them outside of home. At least with the 360 ones they are being used in various games from retail to indie.

andron4959d ago

Those blip sounds are awfully annoying. Can't understand why people don't turn them off...

The ESPN thing is cool, (IMO) thats about it

Loot Ninja Impressions: Xbox Live Update

Loot Ninja writes: "Networking communities these days harp on and on about the closeness of their members. There are so many out there on the internet that it's hard to distinguish which ones are which? Well, I guess that's only true if you were to ask anyone over the age of 40. It doesn't matter whether the community is your lame ass company putt-putt tournament featured on ESPN 4, or online friend communities like Myspace and Facebook, they all try to bring people closer together (and even some people you don't want to). Yep, I'm talking about Herbie "Pervy" in Accounts Recieveable."
