Beta testers will not be able to chat with regular users due to differences in the voice-chat quality.

Is the voice chat better? Not gonna try this, but makes me look forward to the official update once it's out if it really did improve the voice-chat quality.

Installed the updated. I'm not sure why they don't want us talking about it publicly. It's just a new look. It's not like it's a huge jump like it was going from the blades to NXE or anything.
Everything looks much tidier now, though. Wish I could change the whiteness of the home menu. |

They could probably sell us "Home Menu Themes" and people would buy them.

Kinda dig the new look, but then I was never a fan of the blue/green NXE.
It's clean, but customization would be great. 2 months without my Earthworm Jim suit and breakdancing? FUCK ![]() Maybe we should make a private social group to talk about this ish, since we could get the site into some shit for this. |

You never know. I only mention this because when there was an MMA ppv stream thread here, we were the only people dumb enough to have an openly viewable thread about illegal MMA ppv streams showing up on google when you searched "mma stream"

I can't get ESPN3 stuff either. Time Warner is currently in a dispute with the ESPN network over how they want to package the ESPN channels, versus how ESPN wants them to package their channels. I'm sure ESPN wants to be on its own package, while Time Warner does not.
I hate all this jockeying between networks and the cable companies. It's a bunch of bullshit. In the end, only the consumer loses. |
