[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

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

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
