We're not even on that anymore.

I was just replying to the original post. Sorry that I don't read entire topics.

It's different, it's new, and that's why I can't wait to check it out. Despite what everyone says, I KNOW I will like it.

i like it and it seems a little more simple to use than the current one which is a little clunky and hard to navigate

From what I've seen, it looks a lot like Media Center, and I never had good experiences with it. THEREFORE I do not like the new "experience."

I'm sure it'll work better.  I hate the blades anyways.  The most exciting feature to me is the ability to save games onto the hard drive and play off that.  I guess you still need the disc in to play it but the dvd drive wont run, there-by making the 360 quite and I guess faster load times.  Memory will be an issue for some but I could see swaping games on and off the drive as you complete them and/ or when you start a new game.

I'll only have Halo on my drive because that's the game I play the most on-line.  It'll be nice to play with out the jet engine exhuast fan running.

Lol, the ripping games idea sounds cool, but when your HDD is that small, and it cost WAY too much to get it upgraded, its really not that worth it. Each game is how many gigs again?...

Haha, yeah its nice to have 6p party chat. Exactly what Home has, the idea is identical (launch games together, view images together, etc), but with less people, instead of 64 its 8 lol. OK that came off as hella fanboyish, sorry. Too tired atm.
"
lol thats what sounded as fanboyish? last i checked all yours and jayges posts in this thread were fanboyish you've brought nothing forth that says the xbox experience will suck the only thing you've brought forth is that its a rip off and the delusion that gamerpics, and themes will no longer be used.
you've both been proven wrong at every turn that gamerpics and themes will be used, and that the avatars will be optional.

Did you even read my post? Lol, I said sorry that came off as being a fanboy. And no, I didn't say that, he did. I said HE was being a fanboy and too harsh on it, since the new dashboard isn't that bad, and its faster. And no, I didn't say gamerpics or themes would be no longer used, I actually posted a pic of the dash with a theme being used, that was him not me, again get it straight. I never talked about the gamerpics or themes, or said that they suck, go re-read the thread bro...

The general theme as it is looks like crap. They decided to make the images even tinier to preserve their little 3d theme? The way the Halo and Viva Pintata pictures are displayed should be the way all themes are displayed. Big and beautiful. Those are only game-related though. Ugh.

Really? Someone is watching this thread and deleting my requests to lock it? How backwards do you guys think, really?

Those aren't themes, only the GoW one is a theme. The others are what you see when looking at the games profile, but its not YOUR 360's theme. Exactly like when on the XMB and you hover over a game, the background changes with an image/theme of that game, but its not your consoles set background.

The Gears theme looks sweet, better then plain, but it looks too washed out, needs to be more visible IMO.

I wonder how older games' themes will look(like Oblivion, DOA4, COD2).

Also, wasn't this thread locked?

Locked, reopened. I requested it to be deleted, and the mods deleted that post.

In all likelihood, this post will be deleted too.

Why? It's not offensive.

That is beyond me. They've also deleted the post I made telling people to drop the subject of argument in the thread, while allowing the personal insult posts to go unaltered. It's very confusing.

Same here, maybe they added a background to them? Who knows, we'll see. Not EVERY title will have one though, so some will be left with a white screen no doubt.

Because they are deleting posts they don't have to. Simply asking 'why is my post deleted?' gets that post deleted? Not fair IMO. I hope this post doesn't get deleted, that would be sad.

I see that happening. Personally, I think all the major 3rd party games and 360 exclusives will have their own backgrounds.
