Xbox - Vista

That was the first thing that crossed my mind when I updated today. The avatars are reminiscent of the mii's, but I don't really mind since... well, I don't care.

Some things have improved as Rowain said, but I don't really like the new look. I'm sure I'll get used to it in a short amount of time anyways.

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

shouldn't installing games also reduce the risk of the Red Rings? MS has fixed the problem in most newer models but if you've got a system like pre-2008, then I would think installing games so the DVD drive doesn't kick out so much heat should reduce the risk of overheating. That's assuming there's a lot of heat output from the DVD drive to begin with. At any rate, it'll extend the drive's lifespan.

WHY SO SERIOUS HAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA

Cool, the XBOX360ii.
If it loads faster and runs smoother than the old menu, I won't complain. Those avatars are just to attract anime people who only buy like Nintendo and Sony because they're from the land of dreams and little women.

People will argue that the Xbox 360 is the fratboy-Halo-beer console or whatever. And I get that.

I wouldn't count that in building the XBOX vibe.
First of all it's called XBOX which brings to mind people that chortle over cheese and how funny is this swiss. Second, it's just yet another game that switched over. That's the sequel to the Gamecube pinyata game right?

What? Viva Pinata is an Xbox 360 exclusive (not a sequel to anything).

I am really loving this new interface. Everything is just a whole lot quicker and a whole lot quieter. Plus, the guide button does not take 3 seconds to open now, so I am entirely happy. Also, stop complaining about the avatars. You can just pick a preset and never look at it again because you still have a gamerpic and everything.
