The New New New Xbox Experience Halo4 Dash

[EvilBoris]

It's just as well you speak good english then ;P

[Goldenballs]

I don't really care about it tbh. When I turn my 360 on, it's because I want to play a game, so the new dash makes no difference to me really. I don't really use marketplace or download movies etc.

I like the game installs though.

God, this is really bloody slow tonight. I've been trying to download the Rock Band 2 bonus tracks for over two hours now. The percentage isn't moving whatsoever, I have to keep cancelling/restarting to make it move. It's like when 3045760354 people were trying to get the Bioshock demo at once, except there's no excuse this time.

Rubbish.

[ezee ryder]

Yeah downloads are going really slow. Seems like the servers are struggling tonight, strange though because has been ok over the last few days.

[Skull Commander]

They really need to sort this mess out. Everything keeps freezing, slow downloads, slow loading when browsing, and it's too bloody confusing.

I don't like it.

[SuperBeatBoy]

I'm guessing its because its sunday and because most people are off work now its stressing the servers. I'm guessing its probably one of the busiest days of the week for Live.

You can make your avatar burp in different pitches. Just hold your avatars head either up or down and it'll burp higher or lower.

[El Leone]

Those are just backgrounds for your avatars and mean nothing. They change depending on which theme you use. For example, if you use a GOW2 theme the avatars will be standing in front of Derricks, centaur tanks, destroyed buildings and those drill pods.

Look for "Premium" themes.

[Uli]

someone found any customization option other than changing the wallpaper? most of all, what's the point of a background theme if half of it gets covered by a grey floor?
