[update] New Xbox Dashboard preview now avaiable


Recommended Posts

Heh. And I just saw an advert on E4 showing using voice commands on Bing on the 360 to search for content with the new dashboard. Shame the Xbox can't do that yet :p

+1

I also seen the new Metro dashboard being demostrated on Channel 4. I was quite surprised when I seen it.

I don't get why some people are complaining so much, its a preview. Its not as if this is a final product they set a date and are now past that date, and we all get it sooner or later either way....remember this is the biggest dashboard update since NXE, there's bound to be a few issues to work out, and I'm sure last preview it was at lease a week or 2 from console ID submission to getting the update...

Last couple updates I've previewed were barely a week from sign-up on the connect page.

I can't remember exactly, you could be right, non the less this is a much bigger update, and since we have no date we're expecting it on what's the fuss about.

not really been following this thread, nor have i turned my xbox on since entering the code.

what is the issue?

This preview was announced October 11th and all indications pointed to a "very soon" release. Here we are, nearly a month later, a week removed from eventual console registration, and we get an announcement for an announcement. It's been a slow moving process, hardly "very soon." Perhaps the very soon was for information, not the actual release, but personally, the slowness of communication and progress has been frustrating.

Shouldn't you be playing new games, working, socialising rather than wondering when a dashboard update will be out. One day you will turn on your Xbox and be prompted to update. Until then, why even think about it.

I guess you've never anticipated the release of anything. How sad and unfortunate :(

I'd rather ironically advise people to do these things by spending my day posting anonymously to internet message boards.

Quoted for one of the least thought out posts on this forum...in ages.

He has a point. There's over 100 posts bitching about the fact that it's been a while since people signed up. "When it ships" is far better than just rushing things out and bricking consoles. It's a preview, not a beta, nor an alpha.

Your point is moot and far more ironic than his.

Well, we can almost guarantee the dashboard won't be a november release. Guess i'll pickup MW3 this afternoon to hold over until we get the update.

Also, does anyone know if we will be able to download the wp7 integration app? would be cool to be able to test that as well.

FAQ: WHAT ABOUT THE PREVIEW PROGRAM!?!?!?!!?!??!?

A: Patience my friends. Patience. #Soon

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
