The new update causes RROD.
Just like the last one and every popular game ever. ![]() |

It looks nice but it took a couple of sign-ins and loads just for the update to be initialized.
Don't like how my games are now in 2 separate areas instead of just 1 list like before (quick play and my games) although at least they didn't change the home button mini-menus. |

So after replying to a thread on the support forum that I was having the same problem, getting the typical troubleshoot/submit for repair BS and then explaining that our problem is not the 360 and that the issue came after the update, we just get another troubleshoot or submit for repair reply. Joy

Looks like the new terms of service from the dashboard update are almost similar to what Sony and EA did with their services in limiting the ability to sue. Although like the other two companies, only the US is actually affected with the new restriction terms.
Besides restricting the ability to create a class-action lawsuit, Microsoft now only claims liability of $5 for Gold members and $0 for Silver/free members should any problems occur from the update. http://www.vg247.com/2011/12/07/new-...iability-to-5/ |

Had no problems with it at all. Took a while to connect to xbox live, but only as I had yet to agree to the new terms and conditions.

Now they're telling me there's "nothing to indicate the update is at fault" despite the thread now growing with more people in the exact same situation, and that I'll have to pay to have it repaired. HA, fuck you guys this is what I have a PS3 for

Yeah I'm hoping it'll be fixed soon, but it's just infuriating that right now they won't even acknowledge it being from the update. I'd be more willing to be patient if I was being told they were working on it, but I'm not even getting that. I'm essentially being told this problem is on me in some way and that my broke ass will have to find a way to pay for it

Guide button still presents the old school blade system, even though the new dash is essentially an elaborate version of it. I've had no problems (save for the media options being way out of the way). Ads still front and center but they're easier to avoid.
Beacons are nice. Sorta saves time announcing what you're down to play. About 2mins of time but whatever. Have no use for Bing. The Apps thing is confusing and there isn't a clear path to XBLA games. Indy games get the shaft again. I love that the main portal for playing whatever you have in the tray is regulated to a box smaller than some of the ads. |

About that long, I'd say. No issues still. We've been watching Netflix nearly all day, taking an hour or two out to play Forza. Other than a new menu that takes getting used to, I haven't had any issues except for minor sign problems in the beginning.
Netflix's aspect ratio seems off though. Movies seem bigger, almost too big for the screen. Their menu system is alright, but not as crisp and clear as the older one. That, however, is totally Netflix's fault. That was the interface they gave MS to add in. |

I'm never trusting Sony again after their hacking fiasco. I prefer the one time payment of $60 a year over Sony's 'free' internet that supposedly requires that you have some kind of credit card/debit card info.

Yes, I have a credit card on file to use the Netflix app.

I'm not saying for that. I know alot that put it in so they can pay for stuff through their PS3. One of my friends said it was a requirement at one time, but dunno about that.

Ok, that's good then. I still won't use them.
As of right now, I'm liking the new Dashboard. I've been on XBox's site since last night reading about issues others were having that I didn't have. Signing in was a bit of a pain, but all's been good since this morning. I think it was just that most of them got so used to the horrid NXE, that a new change seemed alien to them. ALTHOUGH, they've been advertising Youtube, HBO and few others that would be included, but none of them were. They said sometime in January, more than likely by the time the Spring Update rolls out. Ah well |

Looks like shit to me.
Honestly though, it looks unfinished, and therefore looks really bad. You have this decent layout (Windows Mobile anyone?) on top of a good looking 3D background, but the layout just looks pasted on, it looks very unrefined/unfinished, like someone just stuck some paper squares on top and was done.

I like it better than the last design. It's functional, that's the main thing.
It could be worse anyway, it could be PSN. Love their content, hate their store layout with a fiery passion. |

lol yeah. If it turned out anything like Nintendo's, I'd sell my 360.
Vito, did you try uninstalling the app and redownloading, then reactivating? Unless they're keeping track of how many usernames one account is signed into now, which doesn't make sense either. Suppose someone has more than one console in their house, which would mean two different gamertags. Netflix just fucked everything up this time around |

So, an update to my issue, just in case anyone else has it to some other varying degree because it's not always as bad as I got it.
The issue is apparently the update causing problems with how the Xbox detects pirated games. In some cases it causes everything to come up as "Unrecognized", but more common is it reading newer games like Skyrim as "Unrecognized". This info comes from a few support people, though the majority still claim the drive is broken and needs repair, as well as XNA developers. Because apparently Microsoft is communicating with them better than those with the actual problem. So now I have to wait until whenever they feel like rolling out another update. Yay. |
