I really dislike all the advertising and the way it always defaults to the "spotlight" channel, it's obnoxious. There are several functions that you can only perform in the mini guide too which is confusing... Microsoft simply do not know how to do a good UI. It would be nice to install themes but typical they want space bucks for that: not going to happen!
At least the avatars are nice, I think I prefer mine to my Mii.Comment

has anyone bricked their console yet?
I have to say that I expected mine to go. I'd been getting 1 light of death which turned out to be the hard drive since I upgraded the HD I've not seen it since but I expected this to bork a few things.Comment

No, but it now takes about 30 seconds to display an image on the screen (HDMI). I get sound and can hear the dash waiting for me in the background, but the picture takes ages to kick in (TV displays 'No Image' during this time).Originally posted by NeilMcRae View Post
I've also had it lock up for a good minute when looking at the friends list.
Other than that though it seems pretty good.Comment

Yep, I agree. Thing is, I quite like the interface and the default colours so it's a shame about the advertising. If it was even toned down I'd be happier.Originally posted by melody View Post
But the avatar, which I have no interest in just as I didn't with the Miis, is actually pretty good. In just a few seconds I had made a guy that looks really like me. Nice and easy. But possibly pointless.
I spend so little time in the XBox menus that this update isn't much of a positive or negative thing for me either way. I was impressed with how quick it downloaded and installed though. Considering how different it is, I would have expected longer. So kudos to MS for a quick easy update.Comment

Just noticed a nice new feature. When you put a game disc in and it is booting up, you get a little message telling you that people are playing it, you can press the guide button at this point and it takes you to your friends list.
Also just put Halo 3 in and Bungie have posted a message telling you to run it from disc.Last edited by EvilBoris; 19-11-2008, 19:05.Comment

It's faster from disk than Hdd isn't it? (halo 3)Comment

It's technically slower, because all the data for the map you are playing is cached to the 360 first, it's just swapping data between the HDD and the HDD causing it to load fractionally slower. I prefer the silence to the extra half a second of loading for a map though.Comment

For me Halo 3 loads much faster when installed because my DVD drive is a bit ropey and the extra quiet is nice too.
Your mileage may vary but I think it's worth installing if you play Halo 3 a lot and have the HDD space to spare.Comment

The Menus are less flaky and work lots smoother for me with it .
For a more technical explanation

I love the new look, and strangely enough I enjoyed creating the avatar - something which seemed quite soul-less on the WiiComment

This is the most awesome update to ever happen to a gaming system, I mean it's essentially a new operating platform for the system, and looking at it closely, it holds huge upgradeability, and will offer more and more as time goes on, as the interface can now address the hard drive for game data, etc.., it can also be updated and future software easily integrated in to what is a watered down windows without IE.
I love it, I think it's amazing, truly inovative and revolutionary, and bigger hdd's have just been ordered. I think the online scores for loading times were from a beta build, as in all my game's it has dramatically reduced loading, andf any lag issues.Comment

it is cool, it's almost like having a whole new console.Comment
