Well, that comes with the territory of where the technology is.  Until a large scale download system on the scale of Steam can get pushed out to gaming consoles, we're gonna be stuck with one annoying thing or another. I subscribe to the notion that it's better to deal with minor annoyances than to deal with a download-only console on an infrastructure that can't handle my downloads.  Xbox Live may be robust, but I somehow doubt it has anywhere near the capability of Steam in terms of sending out games to people.
 
Wouldn't hurt if Microsoft would stop overcharging the everloving crap out of hard drives, too.

" I don't even want a dashboard. I want a 360 where I can pop in a game and play. No 1453 things I need to take care of before even starting to play my games.  Other than that, I liked the old Dashboard. There should be an option for it.. "

Uhh... you don't unlock weapons or perks at all.  It's just armor, which doesn't affect gameplay at all.
 
Unless you typed "are" and meant "aren't", in which case I'm sorry!

" You cannot make the argument that this game is worse than II. "

Unfortunately, I've never seen them use their final abilities automatically.  Probably has to do with how situational their usefulness is, it'd be pretty hard to get them to reliably use those.

" How're y'all playing the beta?  I have ODST but it still shows the preview as my only option. "

Also, to everyone, do you think the old icon was better? A few reviews in the market have requested the old one back. Personally, I think the new one is a lot nicer, but maybe I'm wrong. What do you think? For comparison: 
Old: 
  
New: 

     I made the new one following the official android icon style guidelines. "

Is it really that big of a difference, though?

Since it's been forever since I was that low levelled, I'm guessing it just has to do with staggering it as quickly as humanly possible? 

Most people high five with their right hands, though!
