Astra.Xtreme Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Microsoft is admitting there's an issue and has a plant to fix it. I bet it's a cannabis plant. :rofl: I also vote for no ads on a gold subscription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadean Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I don't find the dashboard to be slow. What I do find, however, is a huge delay before my media files are shown when I access my NAS/Twonky device. On my PS3 the files are displayed almost instantaneously. My friend has a similar issue so I don't think it's an issue with my setup/configuration. I hope the dashboard is reorganized. Call me dumb, but at times I find it confusing and tedious to use. Too many features are deeply embedded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mystic MVC Posted June 23, 2009 MVC Share Posted June 23, 2009 My dash seems okay, a bit slower. However the guide menu is laggy as HELL sometimes. Exactly the same here. I only have about 50 on my friends list (I like to keep it trimmed down) so the dashboard never freezes, it is just the laggy guide that bothers me sometimes. Either way NXE was a welcome overhaul so speeding everything up makes it even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbabyte Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 i wish to god they would add mkv support so i could stream my HD mkv files to the xbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George P Global Moderator Posted June 23, 2009 Global Moderator Share Posted June 23, 2009 Well, win7 has native transcoding support now, through the GPU, so with the right app it shouldn't be a problem to play those HD MKV files on the 360 without having to reencode or change the container.

g~man Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 mkv support would be awesome only problem is... my 360 doesnt detect my iomega 320gb portable hardrive, anyone else have this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Stu Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 i only find my dashboard slow when i use a premium theme. If i use the default themes i never notice any slowness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxes Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 The dashboard is blazing fast on my 360, no slowdown what so ever...what is this slowness people speak of? I'm curious to know. Anyhoo, any new features/tweaks are always welcome anyway :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 As opposed to them purposefully releasing a slower dashboard this year? Speed is always good, but it's not like I'm having huge issues as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMELTN Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 oh yeah forgot about that. Wasn't that only with Netflix? And does your friends have to have Netflix also? Or does only 1 of you have to have it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji@nBing Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Mine is slow even to sign in. Browsing the marketplace is painful. Hopefully they can fix the speed issue once and for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neoadorable Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 heh heh you said plant. just messing with ya. the speed - it's OK overall, some occasional slowdown. the ads - don't mind them, they're generally functional, except the Inside Xbox videos keep having these mini-commercials when they start. We could do without those. is this fall update going to give us a browser finally? is that so hard, IS IT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPyro Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Wtf? You mean to tell me that the Xbox dash has ads? And to top it all off you have to pay to play online? I had no idea, but then again I don't own a 360 nor ever will. Two consoles is enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNWDweller Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Having seen some of the buzz online about the new dashboard and some of the stuff they have done for the 360, it sort of makes me wish I never got rid of my console when I did. But then again, once I can afford to get one again, I will end up buying the latest system which might be the X-Box 1020 or PS5. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
