In-game dash is (Y)

The avatars are what the Wii's Mii's wanted to be. Makes MS look very kiddy for better or worse though, however you view them. I quite like them but.

I have to give a thumbs up for the ingame dash as well. I think a lot of people are overlooking it actually. It has a lot of options and I enjoy how quick I can look at my achievements from the games blade. Another notable would be the quick launch area.

That reminds me, did they ever implement multiple sign ins?

On desktop version - yes (Windows Live Messenger 2009). Not on "Old Xbox Experience". And while I am on OXE till 19th, I can't really tell about NXE. :(

How would the sync, all conversations get moved to each open computer?

So someone could be watching your conversation remotely?

yes, it opens conversation window(s) on every computer you're signed in from.

yeah it was the free launch theme

Where do you get that?

So.... How is everyone that got in this 3rd time enjoying their NXE?

I think it's absolutely brilliant! I love everything about it, yes, even the Avatars of which I thought were too kiddy at first but their surprisingly fun. :)

I said this in the other thread but since you asked:

"Awesome update. ONLY problem, not sure if anyone else is having this... everything in the guide is very blurry. Someone look at the guide font and pictures and then go to the actual menu, select your game library and look at the difference. The main menu is SO sharp."

But that's the thing, technically you can pretty much completely avoid the NXE dashboard and just use the Guide button. Just set your settings so that you're auto-signed in, games load upon insert and games load upon boot. Then you can do whatever from the in-game guide.
you mean,kind of like you if you don't want to you can NEVER see the new dashboard ? and just use the guide ?

Well it's a bit hard to avoid the NXE completely, I also use the 360 for media streaming as well. Unfortunately because MS haven't felt nice enough to give Media Centre on the 360 DivX support (it won't even play my straight MPEG2 files either :| it's so damn picky, basically mine will only play WMV files), I gotta use the Dashboard/NXE. Which is annoying though, as I'd like to use it [Media Centre] more but held back but the lack of codec support for the 360's implementation. I know you can use those transcoder programs to get around it, but they never worked for me :/ always screw up.

Media centre support on the 360 hasn't changed, not really sure why that's an issue with the NXE?

And seriously, what's so horrible about the NXE that some people are so ****y about, they want to avoid it completely? Can you honestly say there isn't a part of the current dash you'd prefer to avoid if you could, like the ads or "inside xbox" or whatever? Seriously, people, look at it from a technical point of view - it's faster, it's more efficient and it's much, much more powerful. Be happy!

Sign up for the preview? You're in!

Instead of adding another 10,000 people to the preview program like we did last week, we've decided to do something a little different: everyone who successfully applied to the preview program (and had a valid console ID) will be getting the New Xbox Experience sometime within the next few hours. That?s right?we?re hooking everyone else up with NXE a bit early. If you signed up and are not prompted, that means you did not enter your console ID properly and you'll have to wait until Wednesday.

Don?t worry, it?s almost here.

Thanks again for your overwhelming interest in the program.

some good news for the rest of you.

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By ThatGuyOnline · Posted

      I lived and breathed MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger. Going to the mess.be website (still online with no changes since 2013) to download display pictures etc. I was a beta tester for Messenger Plus! and spent quite a lot of time on the MsgPlus! forums (a read-only copy is still online at https://shoutbox.menthix.net) Some old Neowin articles also https://www.neowin.net/news/messenger-plus-350/ good times but how time flies

      Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area
