    Why are we even having this discussion? "Avatar" as a term to describe an on-screen representation of yourself has been in use since the 90s. The label isn't imaginative, but it's accurate.

    I have no idea what Pancake's talking about either.

    Xii. Xii. Xii. Cry more about it, sheesh.

    The new guide button interface is vastly superior to both the NXE and the "old" XE, or whatever. It's faster, more functional, less cluttered, and lacks visual rape.

    So far I don't mind the new interface at all...the only thing I don't like is the whole sections devoted to advertising, and that is mostly because I have to move through those in order to get to the area that I want to.

    I had to do some serious housekeeping to clear out all the crap stashed in my harddrive. Try clearing out some old game saves and themes and see if you can clear room for a game or 2. Crap like map packs and songs add up really quick :x

    This seemed like a good thread to ask a couple questions about moving saves and dlc between consoles.

    Basically, my roommate just bought a 360 and I plan on buying one of my own sometime in the next year.

    -How easy will it be to move my saves onto the new system?
    -Would it be possible to transfer any dlc I buy to the new console using the license transfer tool? I would assume its possible if bought on a separate live account, but idk if multiple accounts per console is even possible.
    -If I link my netflix account to his live account now for streaming, will it be a bitch to get it switched over later?

    So the update has fucked my XBox. Several games won't read, but only sometimes (but when it does recognize them, they don't actually load up). There are no scratches or anything on them, and they worked fine pre-update. Also, the disc tray has issues sometimes when on the dashboard, usually refusing to open, but one time refusing to close. Again, never happened before.
    Nice fucking job there MS.

    I'm assuming you mean the drive maintenance one mentioned in the OP. I'll give it a shot.
    Probably a stupid question, but it's not going to delete my shit, is it?

    It may get rid of some data that is already temporarily cached, but if you're talking about saved games/dlc/profiles, no, it shouldn't touch those.

    It won't. Things might not work correctly after you do it until you restart your Xbox, but it won't harm anything.

    http://www.joystiq.com/2006/06/09/xbox-360-hdd-cache-clear-code-discovered/
    HEXUS.gaming reports that a cache clear code has been discovered for the Xbox 360 hard drive via the dashboard's system blade. To perform the function, access 'memory' in the system blade, and then highlight the hard drive. Now press: Y, X, X, LB, RB, X, X. The following message should appear: "Do you want to perform maintenance on your Xbox 360 storage devices?"

    If you initiate maintenance, the hard drive's cache will be cleared, including all software updates. Theoretically, this function could be used to un-update Oblivion in order to regain access to the unlimited gold and item duplication glitches. Note: we have not tested this function.
    so not DLC, but patches and unseen cache

    I'm slowly learning to accept avatars, but I would really like it if there was a way to boot into the My Xbox channel instead of the advertising channel. I know they really want us to look at their ads, but it's a little ridiculous.

    I thought the same thing with TiVo, and then they actually removed the button on the remotes that lets you go straight into your recorded list. Why? Because only going through the main menu shows you the advertisements.

    Thats funny because i found Morrowind to be a large piece of shit. Dont you love opinions?

    Also, Im with the other peoples here who wish we could start on the My Xbox page rather than the advertisements. As dumb as it is since its a simple push of the analog stick its like theyre FORCING shit on me. And I dont like that feeling. Although the last Dashboard was covered in advertisements atleast I was on the area I wanted to be on rather than an area dedicated to shit I dont care about.

    Someone figured out how to unlock anime hair.
    1. goto avatar maker
    2. goto personal features (eyes, nose, hair)
    3. spin your right thumbstick for about 60 seconds
    4. the hair feature will spin, click on it and you'll get pink hair
    5. click on what hairstyle you want
    6. click on any unnatural hair color you want
