Shouldn't have to do that. Especially since 360 is the only console without a browser.

Well, boycott buying themes then. They probably can't be arsed since people will buy themes anyways.

Don't really buy themes. I get the free ones like the Perfect Dark E3 one, the Halo ones, ones included in games and the ones that end up being accidentally free whenever xbox.com botches shit.

Good call. Yeah, just kept the Perfect Dark one since it happened.

I'd actually be willing to buy if I could see what I'm getting. As it stands, I've bought one for SF4, SSF4, Gears 2 and Fable 2. Luckily all have been decent.

Also why do they still make the old style themes? Makes no sense.

Anybody having trouble downloading things from the market place since the beta came in?

Yeah sometimes. I go to download and the little pop up screen comes up then goes away immediately.

Yup, same. I'm more pissed about not yet having my 1200 msp from the summer of arcade tho.

Okay, thank god. I was worried my internet was somehow fucked or something.

You CAN edit your avatar BTW.

You can't put DLC or awards stuff on. The newer stuff like Reach works, but most of it does not.

I've come across a pretty big problem with this update. When do we give feed back?

Submit it to me via PM, and I will put it on the Major's desk first thing in the morning.

According to Microsoft these are the biggest things that are being updated or included into the new dashboard.

Quote:

* Improved voice quality – the audio codec is being updated to improve Xbox LIVE Party chat audio quality. So grab your friends and jump into a multiplayer game, catch a big sports event, watch a movie or do all three.

* Improved experience for changing your Gamertag – choosing a new Gamertag? If the Gamertag you're looking for is already taken, your Avatar will spin a wheel and we will provide five other Gamertag suggestions at a time for you to choose from.

* Streamlined in-dashboard virtual keyboard – we've taken the existing QWERTY keyboard in-dash and made it easier to use for scenarios that involve repeated text entry, for example when signing up for LIVE within the dashboard.

* Improved Xbox LIVE Marketplace UI and browse experience – the Games Marketplace has been re-organized to provide streamlined access to the games and content you want, reducing the number of steps it takes to get to a download.

* Avatar changes – we've made your Avatars slightly more proportional so you can better play Kinect games

* Easier to get on a wireless network – trying to connect to a wireless network? With the next update, you'll see a list of all the wireless networks within range when you go into network settings. From there, you'll be able to select a new network or further configure the network you're connected to.

* Ability to sign-out other controllers in the sign-in UI – we're adding the ability to sign-out profiles on other controllers in the sign-in UI within the Guide. This is especially useful when playing games like Rock Band.

* New browse experience for 100% completed games – you spent a lot of time and effort earning those Achievements, so instead of only being able to view your first dozen completed games, we're giving you a new and better way to browse all of them.

Motherfucker. Did you see what they did to the Earthworm Jim suit? It's all proportional now. Looks awful. :'(
