Rouru Sakai · 11-19-2008, 06:24 AM

So the new fimware for the xbox came out today and it's preety sweet.

New features like avatar creation, backuped games XNA GAMES! and more

So what do you like the most?

Tobososlow · 11-19-2008, 06:29 AM

I haven't updated it yet so... I don't know.

Nurta · 11-19-2008, 06:46 AM

The Avatar is cool, but I like having the Netflix the most, even if I haven't gotten my free trial running yet...

The avatar doesn't have much use though, and the party isn't as useful as they advertised it to be

I am going to update when I get off school, (I am homeschooled) or if my mom leaves the house. Xd

Tobososlow · 11-19-2008, 01:31 PM

Well I installed it, and I already hate the Avatars. Not enough options in some things, too many in others.

Charge · 11-19-2008, 01:36 PM

nothing special really. Nice design though

yensed · 11-19-2008, 03:25 PM

Just installed it and created my Avatar. I Hate the stupid avatar idea but what ever. I'm quite pissed they Still haven't fixed the stupid song-repeat thing... After GTA4 is done installing I'm going to try the streaming netflix.

Installing games is my first pick. Love that and the new Xbox button menu system that makes it a lot easier to access everything.

Games load fast with the install feature.

LancerRevolution · 11-27-2008, 01:03 AM

im really diggin the parties. FINALLY dont have to buy the games my friends do in order to chat with them

Pengwyns · 12-16-2008, 09:08 AM

I love being able to install games to the hard drive and make the 360 relatively quiet.

Charge · 12-16-2008, 09:09 AM

Great little option now i think about it.

Sin Bin 16 · 12-17-2008, 04:08 PM

I really like the whole thing, but if I had to pick it would be the Avatars.

Charge · 12-17-2008, 04:19 PM

meh... to Wii-ish for me. Just the smoothness of it =]

xxxRazrAdventxxx · 12-21-2008, 08:44 PM

the fact i can put GTA4 on and run it faster and the parties.

Dizzy · 12-21-2008, 08:56 PM

Netflix is cool, I've got a friend who let me use his subscription. Only problem is this rather limited selection.

Since I use my box as a media center as well, one thing that's bothered me since the update is that when I try to rewind, skip, or fast forward on an avi, it jacks up the whole codec. I have to redownload the media update.

yensed · 12-21-2008, 10:15 PM

I'm very disappointed by the update. Avatars are stupid. And though the netflix *streaming* is flawless, Its frustrating having to go on netflix.com to select which movie I want to watch on my 360. Playing music from a flash drive is now even slower and more frustrating then ever. They didn't add anything to take advantage of the Chat pad. The Marketplace is a disaster.

Unfortunately once you push the 360 to load objects and textures from the GTA4 installation it fails miserably.

I blame it for my xbox breaking.
