XBL Dashboard Update

[Twigg4075]

yes u can save your profile to the cloud. Storage is limited to 512mb.

Good for a few games I guess. Would never work with Forza or NCAA....

But doesn't the PS3 cloud feature only allow 150MB? That's plenty for game saves but I don't know about profiles. Because I know the PS3 doesn't use the complicated and convoluted recovery process the 360 does. Because I have a shit ton of games does that mean by profile or gamertag is going to be larger than most?

Ok, good. I guess I need to check what size mine is. The most important thing for me is being able to transfer my profile.

I'm throwing a guess out but I wouldn't be surprised all the cloud does is save things like your gamertag, achievements and all of that other bs.

Things like DLC and patches for games will obviously have to be redownloaded. Saving those to the cloud wouldn't be a smart idea.

My Rock Band DLC alone almost takes up half my 20GB drive at this point lol.

I downloaded the update last night. I never looked at the dashboard or anything but did notice the constant "this person is playing the same game as you" which is annoying. I'm sure it can be turned off.

Yeah, I wouldn't think so either and I'm not concerned about that. Now that I have an extra 360 in my bedroom I just want to be able to continue my Madden or NCAA season in my bedroom while being connected to Live if I want. As it stood before if I wanted to do that I would have to "recover" my gamertag each time and that would take at least 45 minutes which made it pointless.

It can't be, particularly. You can turn off notifications, but you won't see notifications for anything. I get the feeling that wouldn't be all that bad, in your mind.

WTF is the beacon shit again?

WTF is the beacon shit again?

It's basically a message you can set up on Facebook or just through 360 telling everyone on your Friends List(s) that you want to play Multiplayer on a select game of your choosing.

[Point Blank]

It also notifies you when someone hops on that game.

Thats exactly what I want to do as well and have been pretty much been waiting for this stuff to come out before I go and buy another xbox.

I'm thinking game saves and all of that will transfer over since they really don't take up that much space.

Man finally tried to navigate this dashboard, they make you use the LB and RB so much I have to get used to it. It just seems to me like they tried to put to many things all at once into one package and once again it look cluttered and acts sluggish. I would love if they gave us the option on what dashboard we can use or make custom ones, but will probably have to wait until the next generation.

i have not touch RB/LB once. i just navigate with the sticks.
I would love to not have to use this update. i dont like anything about it. the last design was fine. I love upgrades if they make sense and the design on this one makes no sense to me. Nothing about it stands out as this is great...or even good.

I finally thought i had the EPIX channel working only to find out my cable company doesnt support using the channel through media devices....totally worthless

That's why all of these channels are worthless. If you don't already have them, what's the fucking point? If I want to watch them I'll watch them on my fucking tv , not streaming through my Xbox. I never understood the tv channels at all.
