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

[HawkMan]

My question is, is the Netflix integration only HD or is that just an option? I have no HDTV but am considering picking up Netflix and using it through my 360 on my 26" TV.

HD is just an option, and I believe there's only 300 HD movies available on Netflix yet. granted 300 movies shoud keep you busy for a while :)

I wonder how it'll hold up when they get massive traffic.

[jerzdawg]

Ok good.. I thought I was going to have an issue because I was using component cables...

Welcome to the new Xbox Experience! :D

[andrew_f]

Not got it here yet in the UK

[LightIdea]

Not here yet.

I just can't wait until I can finally install Saints Row 2... damn freezing.

Update in progress after reboot.

Taking approx 4 mins. to download on a 3.0mbps connection.

[Statikk]

I really can't wait to play Two Worlds from the HDD. If there was ever a game that could possibly be helped by a HDD install it would be Two Worlds. If any of you have it then try it out for me! :p

[LightIdea]

I wonder how Lost Odyssey works then.

Or any multiple disc game for that matter.

[HawkMan]

They added AutoStart, I blieve a few people earlier requested that.

you no longer have to start the game when you close the tray.

My 360 does that on the old dash...

[HawkMan]

Are you sure you don't mean on console startup ?

I'm pretty sure that before this update(s) not starting a game when you inserted the disk wasn't an option since a few people complained about it when they where announcing NXE updates. or when peopel still though there was a spring update and where listing stuff they wanted in it.

[Statikk]

Ohhh I totally read that the wrong way! :p so you're saying it does not force you to load the game now when you close the tray? If that's the case then it's definitely a welcome feature. It always annoyed me.

[HawkMan]

That's what I'm saying :)

hmm a lot of Can't retrieve information from Xbox live errors on marketplace right now. guess they're still adding a lot of the new content stuff.

but damn browsing the marketplace is pretty cool now. When you enter for exampel download for Fallout 3 the entire dashbackground is a fallout 3 wallpaper.

[HawkMan]

hehe. there was a lot of choices, but I'd still like more hair and glasses and clothes and ... stuff...

[HawkMan]

oh yeah, there's now also more options for those who use hdmi. you can now choose what colorspace hdmi uses. not really sure if it makes a reall big difference but I guess it's something, and I haven't seen it mentioned before.

[Brad.]

Thanks for the comments HawkMan. Sounds great!

Awesome ! Yes, that's one of those little features that just enhances the whole experience that much more. Good one (Y)

Maybe I'm missing something, but when I put my games in my 360, they start right up :unsure:

Yes? Care to elaborate? Or was this to something else?

[Sethos]

This feature is to disable that, sometimes you don't want the game to start when you pop in the DVD :)

[Kushan]

Oh that's good, I'd prefer that. I'm always putting the disk in the tray and leaving it open because I don't want it to start just yet.
