The New New New Xbox Experience Halo4 Dash

[Brats]

Surely if you're into your Facebook or Twitter, you'd have one of these?

I bought one of them for MSN integration. Used it twice and decided I wanted to be playing games while i'm on my 360 instead of having drawn out conversations. My attitude remains the same for Facebook and Twitter.

Or you could just use a USB keyboard. Or your PC.

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.

I wonder if that include those laptop HDD mod-things?

Moreover, I wonder how many people have bought what LOOKS like a legitimate HDD from ebay second hand, and are absolutely unaware of it being a modded HDD.

I doubt many people would know if their HDD casing had been opened etc, I now I wouldn't have a bloody clue!

According to Major Nelson emails will be going out later this week to those who've been selected for the preview.

Just about to hit the sack and heard update was out, thought may as well.
Seems Twitter is just a log on account then.
Zune Marketplace, Facebook and Last.Fm are small under 6mb downloads.
Halo Waypoint now wont be on til next week.
So far nice little additions, the Zune Marketplace Video Party could be interesting will need to try that out.
Last.fm is a nice, was checking out Fuse’s Library , some quality tracks on there. It's nice just to have on via tv if you want to try some new music and your not on PC.
Twitter is just Twitter.
Facebook I havent checked as I deleted my facebook profile a long time ago.

Oh and about chatpad above, its the first picture you see on the Facebook logon page, little 360 pad+chatpad.

yay i got in
just aout to turn the console on and find out what this stuff is all about

I've never bothered with Twitter, am I right in thinking that effectively it's nothing more than the equivalent of the status part of a facebook page?

[Papercut]

Are the dedicated Rock Band/Guitar Hero/Lips stores in there yet?

[FelixofMars]

I am evidently in, I really want to see what LastFM is like. Not really that interested in anything else. Twitter would be okay I guess to just browse the threads without having two machines on.

[djtickle]

Does this mean USB sticks with stuff on will stop working, are they classed as unauthorised?

Cheers And agreed, I am excited about the last.fm integration more than anything on this update. Might be tempted to re-activate my Stalkerbook account for a tinker with that too, and whilst I have a Twitter account I could take or leave having it on my 360.

I have got an email about this so am looking forward to a play about tonight.

Are the dedicated Rock Band/Guitar Hero/Lips stores in there yet?

Err, maybe. Rllmuk's thread on it describes it as "Like Livejournal for the terse", Livejournal being a blogging host, so I think it's an accurate description. Twitter messages have a defined short length, thus the information conveyed is limited.

Hmm, I got the email but no update as of yet? :S
