You also get three 0 point achievements. That'll give you another "game completed" more than likely, in case anyone gives a shit.

Why do you think Pinata knew about it? ;)

just had a weird issue w/ Xbox Live. Kicked me off live and gave me a message that my MTU settings were too low. I've been using the same router for a year without an issue. Just logged back in and it would appear to be fine. Any ideas what may be happening?

Everyone slamming the XBL servers with that Live Labs thing ;)

No idea, but you might as well run that to give MS the data. Maybe it'll cause them to tweak some stuff to help everyone in the future.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Speaking of the Lab, would it have killed MS to include a screen saver display with that application? With my hdmi cable it wasn't possible to leave the xbox running with the tv off. If I had a plasma, I'd have been pissed.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Why? Do you have some unique setup? I have my Xbox attached via hdmi to my plasma and I turned off the TV and then six hours later after it finished the Xbox turned itself off.

PS Sorta wish the crazy hair didn't have those glasses. Oh well.

My guess is he's using the old a/v breakout box to send optical to his receiver and hdmi video to his tv.

There's some bad wiring in that a/v box that causes the xbox to reboot when the tv renegotiates the hdcp handshake.

You can break into that box and clip this little black wire to fix it.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I guess that's it. I do use optical for sound, but I've forgotten why. Maybe it had something to do with the Turtle Beach headset. Anyway, it's not worth me fixing now since I'm only about a month from moving into my "big house" complete with Man Cave and totally new A/V system. Can. Not. Wait. :drool:

When I first saw the stuff on Major Nelson's blog about the Labs stuff I thought that you installed the app and then a few times MS would just take over your console to do its bidding. Glad that wasn't the case. I wanted to do my part to help because I can't imagine they are doing all this for no good reason.

So i just bought a new Xbox 360. I have not played on one in about 5 years. I've notice it's a whole new Live format. I recall it used to be like thumb folders 5 years ago and you toggle through them from your profile to the marketplace.

Now its a whole new structure with netflick and so on etc. When did they change the format? Or was it a gradual thing?

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

It was called the New Xbox Experience, and it rolled out in November 2008.

New Xbox Experience (NXE) Review: It’s Pure Improvement

They've actually changed the dashboard TWICE since you last used it.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I miss the blades - it was cleaner, easier to use, more slick and a lot less "advertisie", which I guess is the main reason they changed it: ad $

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I like the new video podcast shows they have on the dashboard. I watch the Kinect one every week.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Wow, so you guys like the newest format the best? i assume it's all for improvement/process etc.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I think prefer the 2008 format to the 2010 one, but I could be wrong.

The blades were great when there was little to no content but it quickly became cumbersome for the amount of stuff Live had to offer.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I don't really give a fuck. It serves its purpose. Also, I spend a little more time playing games or using the apps.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

This.

But I think I browsed more in the 2008 format.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I think the NXE Dashboard could of been great but they still have yet to really group things in a sensible manner. I use my XBOX the most out of all my electronics and the way they have things positioned in the dashboard is not very intuitive. I often fumble around looking for the simplest things. As boring as the XMB is to look at on my PS3 I can pretty much navigate that thing blindfolded.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Hey Chibul, yeah you! Remember that note you sent out on Xbox Live telling me to reply back on how i know you or you'll delete me? Well guess what!? I deleted you! Yeah, that's right - call it a pre-emptive strike on your smugness! SUCK IT!

Man, I need to do some serious pruning, but I really have no idea who most of these people are anymore. People change names drastically all the time.

I think I'm just going to have to go through there and run a 3-stage filter:

1) Do I know this person in the real world?
2) Do I actively socialize with this person in some fashion?
3) Have I played a game with this person in the last year?

If I do that, I think I could probably drop those 98 to 12 :lol:

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Easily a dozen tops for me too. Take out the vegans, and I'm down to 10.

Imagine what it would do to your Wizard Score.
