The New New New Xbox Experience Halo4 Dash

[EvilBoris]

The marketplace areas have been a bit screwed up since the first update, apart from a week or so ago they removed A-Z.

Although the new Xbox.com marketplace is loads better.

ohh proper 3D avatar on xbox.com too, that's pretty slick.

Oh great, the freakishly large heads on the redsigned avatars make me look like Quagmire

Aren't the heads smaller?

This is my new avatar


This is yours in comparison it looks really weird to me now.

What's with MS going backwards. First they made the Game Marketplace a mess in the new dash preview and now they've applied the same level of care to the new Xbox website. Take Download History for example, it lists your downloads from oldest on the first page to newest on the last page, would prefer this the other way around, but there is no link to jump to the last or first pages, just Previous, next five pages, Next.

I have to say, the more I'm using the new site, the more I dislike the layout and organisation. It used to be quite quick to access and find things in your account, but it feels clumsy now, just like parts of the dash.

I won't be partaking in any further betas for Microsoft. The almost daily updates, with seemingly nothing useful added with each, are becoming most tiresome.

I wonder if today's update is the live release for preview users. They did it with the NXE and released the final version to the preview users about a week before it went public, I guess to reduce the load on the rollout.

[EvilBoris]

Mine is still showing the beta stiff on the dash , I assume there will be another one to get rid of that

[MJ]

I just fired up my old Premium and the old NXE is noticeably faster and more responsive than the preview.

[EvilBoris]

is it connected to LIVE?

[MJ]

is it connected to LIVE?

Yes.

I haven't used the old NXE since the preview started and it feels a lot snappier, especially as I used the preview console right before I set up the Premium, so could campare back-to-back.

And last night I was bemoaning the fact that even stuff like browsing for a film takes far too long. Once I've found the film on the list, I can press Y to watch, but if I press select, the massive square that flips on to the screen with "resume/restart" options (and nothing else) takes too long to appear. Why make it flip? Wish I could turn off all that fancy stuff and just have a fully text only interface for speed.

The one on the old Xbox (XBMC) was so good.

Here comes the waaaaaaaaaambulance.

Sorry that I seemed to have wounded your delicate sensibilities, but as I said before take each day at a time and remember that I love you.

I don't see why you've got a bee in your bonnet for me but whatever man. Get over yourself.

I haven't, you're the one whose brought the subject up again after all this time and are clearly smarting because the nasty man on the Internet didn't agree with your posts. xxx
