[Official] New Xbox Experience (or Fall 2008 Update)


Recommended Posts

Looks like to just browse your games thats all.

I don't see a browser coming to the 360 but you never know.

Personally i think it would be next to useless which the browsers on PS3/Wii are currently.

Sounds more like browsing through the game library or something?

(Y). Although, it would be nice to have Internet Explo...sorry, couldn't see that one through :laugh:

With the non-transparent IE7 logo pasted onto the screen. :laugh:

EDIT: The XBOX 360 should have an internet browser. The PS3 does...:(

well they're adding in netflix so its not such a big leap to have a internet browser in the console dash. people could use it to browse things such as youtube [which to be fair is being used on pretty much ever available format- PSN, mobile, Ipod] and other things such as the official xbox forums. never rule things out because again, they have said they've not revealed everything thats being released with the new dash yet...

easy browsing/searches can be achieved with the chat pad/D pad on the controller nowadays as PSN proved.... i mean they have multi-page internet browsing capabilities and its a leap in the right direction for console internet browsing.

i personally would welcome any browsing capability for the xbox360 as its the next logical step i think if they want to either keep up/get ahead of the current generation. otherwise the PSN will eventually be better unless the 360 receives a browsing option sooner or later. i think maybe evena web based marketplace won;t be far off either for the xbox, because they're already saying you can use the pc to select downloads from teh market direct to your console so i will be watching carefully.... like a ninja :ninja:

certainly would be very nice to have along with the new added resolutions (i just switched to a 22 incher so 1680X1050 would be good about now), but agree that it doesn't look like a browser, more like a library browse function. you never know.

Without mouse and keyboard support on the 360, a web browser wouldn't really get used enough to justify the time spent implementing it. The PS3 has a browser, but it also mouse and keyboard support, making it at least somewhat comfortable.

That said, I do enjoy reading strange and interesting theories :)

with the chat pad and the anolog sticks it would be fine... but I dont think I would ever use it... I've only used the one on my wii once and never touched it again.

Why the hell would you have a browser on a console? the browser on the ps3 is an entirely wasted feature, it's just cumbersome and not necessary.

Leave it out and leave space for something useful (Y)

Hey, you'd be surprised how useful the PS3 browser comes in handy sometimes....

especially during the night. :ninja:

If someone (anyone!) makes a console browser that supports modern day Flash, I'll be there. I would absolutely love to watch my Hulu/TheWB.com content on my HDTV without the hassle of a computer.

Haha, you can bet that if Microsoft were to make a browser for the 360 (fat chance) that it would support Silverlight, not Flash. :p

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
