Not a fan of the flatness at all.

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

Yup -- less cute, strangely unnatural and still in that same douchey stance.

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

Do we know if the voice communications upgrade will be part of the dashboard upgrade, or something separate and later?

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

It's part of the dash upgrade.

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

That netflix dynamic search is pretty hot.

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

For people who signed up for the NXE preview the update will be out later today.

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

Follow up question in regards to putting my HD on another machine this weekend, will the dash update fuck that up?

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

Thanks for letting us know.

That's a good question... I think there is/was a separate section on internal memory for things like the OS and that would be tied to the console ID. In that case, the HDD shouldn't be affected by that and it *shouldn't* matter.

I would expect that as long as dashboard updates are doled out by console ID AND HDD/MUs are not required for the 360 to function, then you should be fine.

I make no guarantee, however.

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

This is my thinking as well, but I guess I'll find out.

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

Is it the same or similar to the search that can be performed with the PS3 streaming disc?

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

Haven't done any searching with the ps3 disc. I just saw in the giantbomb thing. When you start typing in letters, it dynamically narrows down your search. They got to Running Man by just typing "run" and there it was.

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

Yes, it's the same as other NF-capable devices.

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

Thanks. I personally am most thrilled for the PS3 to go disc-less. We do stream on our 360 in the bedroom currently though.

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

^PS3 netflix is discless in Canada. :) Still waiting on any Netflix support on the 360 up here, too, unfortunately.

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

No.

Last year I upgraded early in one of my consoles, I was in the preview. And I used to switch the hard drive between my Elite and Arcade consoles. The Elite console had the new firmware and the Arcade was still with the old firmware. I was able to use the hard drive in both of them all that time they were with different interfaces.

But, of course, that was last year, so YMMV.

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

Regardless, thanks for the info! :up:

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

I got an email a little while ago that I was not going to make it into the beta dashboard update. Something about so many people getting in and they can't send the update to everyone. Kinda shitty that they'd say accepted right away and then send you an email later saying "Just kidding". Fuckers.

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

That sucks, Glad I didnt get that e-mail. I'm hoping the update goes live today still. I wanna check out the ESPN thing.

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

Jut got my update! Installing now!

LOLWUT?!

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

Yes, Xbox, I'm okay with downloading a 43mb app for ESPN.

Oh, are you done after a minute or so? Sweet, let's launch that thing.

What's this, Xbox? An update is required for this app to run? Sure, I'll take it.

Hold on a second... The update is also 43mb in size? WTF did I just download then?

Doesn't matter, I need it. I do think it's awesome that this second download is taking 5 times as long as the first. That's appropriate.

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

In case you're curious, I said this...



I didn't mean it in a racist way at all.

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

I think Sony should give Microsoft an Indian rope burn for stealing the PSN network code. Seriously, this update is still going. Looks to be about 95% now.

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

An that's why I didn't make a big deal about it, and simply removed it. Like I said in the PM to you, people have been suspended for other comments that also weren't meant to be racist.

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

Although what you sent was rather humorous.

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

And no - it won't be repeated. Here.
