BajiRav Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 NXE - What You Want to Know: Xbox LIVE Marketplace Does this sound familiar? You are sitting at your computer, most likely at work or school and you check out Xbox.com (I won't tell, or will I? MUAHAHA), to see what new content is up on Marketplace. Maybe you see a new Theme you want to download, or notice that the map pack you?ve been waiting for has finally arrived. So, you sit there and let the profanity fly (hopefully in your head) because there's nothing you can do, but wait until you get home. Those sexy Gamerpics, movies and additional levels just sit there and mock you saying, ?I know you want me, but you?ll have to wait to queue me up for the download.? Guess what? Not anymore. Once the New Xbox Experience launches you will be able to browse Xbox LIVE Marketplace on your PC (even using text search) ? and if you see something you like, you can add it to your queue and even purchase it right there and then. As soon as you get back home to your Xbox 360 and turn it on, the content will begin to download. Think about it ? by the time you finish getting out of your shirt and tie, or skirt, or pajamas, or pink fuzzy bunny outfit, you will have a new Xbox LIVE Arcade game to play or a new TV show to watch. Check out the screens of Xbox LIVE Marketplace on the Web, comingwhen the New Xbox Experience launches. As always, click on any of the photos for a larger version or visit our flickr set.Search Results for "Halo":o": [/center] Filed Under: Xbox LIVE, Xbox 360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted October 10, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted October 10, 2008 Wow.. the new xbox.com site looks really good.

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted October 10, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 10, 2008 Guess it's time to unplug my 360 from the internet. Why? :blink: You can't avoid the update, they bundle them with games ;) That way everyone who has a 360 and not connected to Live can still be up to date :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyfrog Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I believe the games ask your permission before updating. If not then those games won't be allowed in my console. I mostly use it as a media center anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomoko Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Well I won't be getting a 360 this year if they are going to turn it into a fisher price looking Nintendo Mii ripoff. Looks like a certain competing console will be getting my money instead. I was really looking forward to a 360 though, but in the immortal words of Stan Marsh: "This one time, about eight months ago, I saw two guys kissing down by Stark's pond. And that was the gayest thing I had ever seen until I saw the new XBOX 360 dashboard." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomoko Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) Over a dashboard update :rofl: "Oh noes, I have to look at it for 5 seconds while I start up my games!" Please, if nobody cared what it looked like and you only had to see it for 5 seconds would they even bother changing it? I respect that many people do like it, but don't be ridiculous. Many people also hate it and there should be a choice rather than having it forced on them. Personally I think it looks stupid and childish. Sorry but I don't want it, and I think there should be a way to keep the old dashboard. Of course I'm posting this in the Microsoft console section and heaven forbid anyone have an opinion of their own. That would make them a DRAMA QUEEN. Go look around some other forums, plenty of people hate the new dash. I like Microsoft, I love my XBOX, and I would love to have the 360. I just don't want the stupid avatars and ugly bland theme.

In fact SP loves X360 :yes: :p Hell, we are even getting a SP game :woot: But seriously, people are way over reacting over the NXE changes. Hell, the Dashboard now gets called a "fisher price toy", yet the same people are calling the NXE the same thing.. I'm not exactly a big fan of the PS3's XMB but it doesn't stop me using the console or updating it. And I certainly wouldn't avoid a game just because I'd need to use the new version. Wtf is up with that :no: :rofl: Lamest reason I have ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green_Eye Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 NXE looks brilliant (Y) Don't understand the hate for it but it wont affect me enjoying the damn thing so I really could not care less... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mystic MVC Posted October 11, 2008 MVC Share Posted October 11, 2008 Microsoft apparently has a solution for Arcade systems and the NXE update. It was talked about on some news sites today but they are getting the "how" secret for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy2004 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 i like the 360 dash just the way it is, its simple yet functional so why does it need to be changed ? and yeah i bet this probably will cause some console problems ! microsoft and updates dont usually go well in the same sentance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
