The 360 thread!

You look like you have saggy old woman tits.

Those (awful) avatars look a Wii bit familiar...

[WiredWorm]

so how does the hard drive gaming work? im guessing you'll still need the game disc to initialize it first right???

Yes. That's right.

[subzero]

ahhhhh i suspected as much, still....a great idea

Apart from the Miis are a 1000x time better and more adaptable and personalisable(sp?!).

My 360 avatar looks bugger all like me, but people recognise my Mii as me.

The new dash is nice and fast, just a shame than live is failing so much today but it's only to be expected I guess with everyone logging on and downloading the update.

It keeps telling me that live arcade games are no longer available or coming up with errors.

Yeah it looks like I spoke too soon earlier. I can sign in to Live, but no content is populating the menus so I can't see/download/play any XBLA games, Community Games, demos etc. It just throws error messages.

Presumably the servers are swamped by requests for boxart\screenshots\avatar bits. As these are cached, the load should fall off and normal service should resume. (I hope, cos I do want to play GOW2 on COOP tonight).

The avatars aren;t quite as hateful as I thought they would be, but they've ripped off a lot of what is limited about the Miis without a lot of the good stuff - the clothing choices are weirdly specific and I wonder how long it'll be before clothing packs are available for MSP?

It is predictably borked at this early stage, with the problems others have mentioned and the usual shitty placeholder text errors and things, but the new dash is so much more functional, fast and slick that it has enough of my goodwill for me not to rant just yet. The new Live features look promising, if the infrastructure underneath can handle it all.

Fingers crossed.

I installed Gta IV to the hardrive. While playing it I got a message about the disc being dirty and booted back to the dash. So either my dvd drive is faulty and didn't install it properly or my Hd is bollocksed.

Thanks Microsoft... Thicrosoft.

[Jimaroid]

Dirty disc errors can be massively misleading. It may have been interpreted by GTA4 as "WTF? That data appeared fast!?"

[chub]

I can't find any Community Games. Are these restricted to certain regions, or am I just looking in the wrong place?

[The Caffeine Kid]

It's a sub-category of the Live Marketplace.

[Phineasfool]

Got the update downloaded and made my avatar. The new style is going to take a little bit to get used to navigating, but I am liking it so far.

Also, if anyone is interested I have 3 codes to get the original Banjo-Kazooie game for free for whoever asks first.

I also have 1 code for the Gears 2 flashback map back if someone didn't get one for whatever reason.

[Ratsoap]

I'd be up for a gooey kablooie code, if you still have one.

Ooh, yes please if you've got a spare!
