The New Xbox Live Experience

[Brainiac 8]

For the most part, the new dashboard works great for me. The only issue I am having is that my system freezes up after I look at someone on my friends list. I look at them, and when I press B to get back to the main friends section, my system freezes. It's annoying.

The dashboard froze on a me a few times but if I waited for about a minute it would unfreeze and everything would be fine. It seems to just take a few minutes to catch up with itself. All in all though I love the new dashboard.

I like the new layout a lot. My one problem with it is that the avatars' clothes are pretty sparse. I wouldn't wear any of the clothes they've got for the avatars. They should at least let you change the colors of the clothes, since I could've gone with that hoodie, except that it's neon magenta for some reason.

Theres going to be updates every 2 weeks, so keep checking.


Is it just me, or is this a little bit more difficult to navigate? Don't get me wrong, I love the avator, the Partys, and all, maybe I need to just get used to it, but it's not as straight forward as the Dashboards.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I think it's fine. It took me a second to figure out where everything was, but that's just because I'd never used it before. I'm sure everything will make sense within a couple days of using it.

I didn't know there'd be updates. That solves my only problem with it, then.

That happened to me last night. Hopefully the Bugs are worked out soon.

It froze mid-Wave, on the Friends thing when we had a party. I like that you can shake your head NO and the Av gives a Mean face. I wish there were more expressions other than Yes, No, Dizzy, and Wave.

Check Me Out!!!!!
BTW this works for anyone with an Avatar, just replace the gamertag.

 

[Lando81]

also, is it just me or does anyone else remember them saying you could wear your old gamerpics as t-shirts?

huh? I see nothing, maybe the firewall at school is blocking me.

I'm sure that will be added with a later update. They did mention it. I assume since the clothes right now are not customizable, whenever they add changing color the gamerpic shirt shouldn't be far off.

 

[Lando81]

Very Nice! Avatars are fun! Plus mine looks almost exactly like me.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Not a huge fan of how it came out, though.

You look so sad...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Not sad, just not happy either. I'm a very laid-back, neutral sort of person most of the time.

 

[StrainedEyes]

I always thought you should be able to use those little pictures you unlock with achievements as gamerpics, they are basically the same size. I guess that would hurt M$'s wallet too much, though.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That would be cool. Maybe they have them, actually. Maybe they're in one of those picture packs that I've never bought.

Well I mean just for unlocking the achievement, since it serves no purpose now other then upping your gamerscore, it'd be nice if you got a new gamerpic each time too. Some of them look pretty nifty.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, but like you said, Microsoft probably wouldn't want to give anything away that easily.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Some of my friend's avatars are very....ideal.

 

[StrainedEyes]

Damn Microsoft.


So how many of you are using the "Night" premium theme that came with the update?
