NXE, That new Xbox Dashboard Thing?

FyreWulff

Apparently there's new winter-themed clothes up for avatars.

edit: Snowboarding Jacket, Snowboarding Boots, Ski Gloves, Flame Beanie. All new items will have an orange star.

I figured there would be a bit wider of a selection of things...

But no.

I'm peeved that you can't even customize the colors of things. Kinda sucks.

Oh...winter clothes...yeah...thats...great.

...DAMN IT I WANT MY TOP HAT. :evil:

Seriously, color editing can't be so hard to implement.

I was upset at the lack of a full-zip cardigan.

Is anyone's Netflix acting up? I can't get mine to work properly.

freakish light

My roommate's using it right now, no problems.

urahonky

Still better than the Wii's choice of... no clothes and 6 (or 8) colors.

spookymuffin

I really can't believe that no one in the testing process asked for color changes. MS was probably like "Change the colors of the clothes? That's cute, but no."

Houn

I didn't see any of the new clothes available when I tried editing my Avatar a bit ago. Despite the Spotlight practically screaming at me that there were winter hats available.

spookymuffin

I got a jacket, a hat, and some gloves. They were noted by a star.

Hey, wasn't someone in here going to transplant their own larger hard drive into the 360 case a week or so ago?

Did we ever find out how that went?

I think he got Livebanned, arrested, shipped to Gitmo, then hung drawn and quartered.

And they didn't even refund him the rest of his year subscription.

Nimble Cat

Moral of the story:
Give Microsoft your money and stop bitching!



Or check eBay. I got a 120 gb black hard drive for $80.

Well, I guess the refund would have been sort of silly after the hanging.

Nimble Cat

I hear they gave the refund to the owner of the sweat shop where the hard drives are made.

It was probably too "Mii"esque.

Nimble Cat

Xbox gamers are too hardcore to want that kind of customization. That's best left to the Bravo watching Wii crowd.

urahonky

Yeah. It's the same thing in WoW. It bothers me that you can't dye your armor or anything like that.

Ughhh the HDMI no-audio-with-NXE thing sucks so much. How have they not patched this yet? Having to take my HDD out and put it back in every time I turn on the console sucks ass.

I have HDMI and it works fine.
Edit: I had not heard of this problem. I googled and see it is an issue. Guess I am just lucky.

Houn

1. I love the HDD install feature. It makes Prince of Persia run awesome.

2. I think my optical drive is dieing. Prince of Persia gave me three DREs, each before even getting into the game, and I had to install it to the HDD to make it run.

As do I, and I haven't noticed this.

maybe you shouldn't have modded your HDD ;p

Same.

Yeah my Netflix is weird. Most shows won't finish and some movies won't play.

Local H Jay

i actually just switched to HDMI from component, and i'm not sure the picture is 'clearer' as it is 'bluer'.
edges are sharper and colors look better, though, and games like halo 3 and left 4 dead look that much better to me now (only on 720p, should say).

FyreWulff

I would buy a 120GB instantly if they made one that fucking matched the Halo 360

However I have put it on all the Xmas lists people have asked me to fill out.

99% of the games are 720 or less anyway.

The whole Avatar idea is too Mii-esque. They're not even trying to hide it.

Presumably you can switch the housing no problem.

FyreWulff

interesting, but something I'd like to get ahold of a broken drive first for practice..

Willeth

I'm sure you have access to a wealth of hard drive gutting tutorials by now.

Airan

Suddenly my auto-sign in stopped working. Does anyone know what's going on?

Norfair

This is something I would also like to know. I had auto sign-in enabled, and starting last night I had to sign in anyway, because it wouldn't sign my profile in when I turned my console on. I gave up and disabled it for now (if it's not going to work and I have to sign in anyway, what's the point of leaving it enabled?).

FyreWulff

Toggle it on and off?

The only time it doesn't work for me is if my HDD is on another console.

100% of the games are required to support 720p minimum anyway.

I tried that, still no dice. It only stopped working... well I haven't played it in about 4 days, and the console is used by others, but I checked all their profiles and there doesn't seem to be any conflicting auto sign-in options.

Apparently the issue is not isolated, as I've read reports (but no solutions, sadly) on other forums, before NXE, too.

Argh, pisses me off when something that used to work now doesn't

Yeah, four new items... woo...

The snowboard boots are black. So damn plain. Also, the gloves are hideous.

Colour editing kthx.

Well they aren't required too, halo 3 runs at 640p and apperantly so does perfect dark
