The New New New Xbox Experience Halo4 Dash

[EvilBoris]

It says on the inside xbox that you get all the services if you are a subscriber already but you don't have to be a sky customer in order to use the service

[Spatial]

Ah, good. Thanks.

[EvilBoris]

I'm interested just how much this will be

[JamesS]

Presumably it's the same as the PC Sky Player, which is about 15 quid a month I think (or more if you start adding movie channels and sports and whatnot).

[MJ]

I've signed up for the Facebook / Twitter / Zune Preview.

Gutted last.fm isn't coming in this update

[ChrisF]

I can't think of anything more utterly pointless than the content of this dash update.

Exactly what you said. I can't even be bothered to sign up to the preview this time. Last thing I want is everyone's facebook / twitter updates spewing all over my 360. I have a PC for that nonsense.

I intentionally have MSN integration switched off on the 360 so that I don't get people trying to converse with me while I'm playing a game.

Is there definitely no Last.FM? http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/26781 "Thierry 'Scooter' Nguyen and Alice Liang check out Twitter, Facebook, Last.fm, and Zune Marketplace in the upcoming Dashboard update."

Ok, last.fm is in after all! Good news

The new dash update is also going to disable "unauthorized" storage devices : http://majornelson.com/archive/2009/...e-devices.aspx

Which probably includes those 2 GB Datel products.

Unofficial storage devices will no longer work with this coming update, according to Major Nelson. Not sure if that means the Datel thing, or even home made hard drives. Probably both.

Deja vu!

[Spatial]

In his defence some complete idiot did post a massive distracting picture in between.

[ezee ryder]

I'm just messing!

With regards to that cartoon, I can't believe I actually scrolled down and ready every single panel. I knew what was gonna happen yet I still did it. Damn you!

Mind you, it depicts this Facebook and Twitter update perfectly!

[Ouenben]

I thought that 2P start comic was dire, while I understand why they decided to have so many panels I don't think it was neccasary for the joke, they could easily have had a '30 minutes later' or '...' panel to skip half of it (most people will have sussed the joke by the end anyway)

And 7:05pm-9:42pm?! that guy is either the worlds slowest at typing or mentally challenged.
