If they already sent out emails and I didn't get in, Microsoft sucks.

demi · « **Reply #121 on:** November 13, 2008, 08:56:37 PM »

i think they are just gonna add everyone else. i mean why not, everyone is getting in anyway.

archie4208 · « **Reply #122 on:** November 13, 2008, 08:56:54 PM »

I don't think they have yet. Major Nelson's twitter would have probably updated. Or maybe I'm trying to rationalize not getting in YET AGAIN.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #123 on:** November 13, 2008, 09:13:25 PM »

Installing NXE was a fucking mistake, damn do I miss my RB dlc.

Apparently if you sign into your account at connect.microsoft.com there will be a congratulations screen if you got in. I didn't. :'(

I hope by installing NXE early, we get to avoid what e-line there will be to download that shit...then again it was only 7.8mb.

bork · « **Reply #133 on:** November 14, 2008, 06:33:12 AM »

I just got a mail for this. Don't think I can download it until tomorrow though.

But doesn't this come out officially in just a few days? Kinda late to be sending out more NXE previews...

FatalT · « **Reply #134 on:** November 14, 2008, 02:45:22 PM »

I just finished downloading it. Yay!

MCD · « **Reply #135 on:** November 14, 2008, 02:51:43 PM »

I'm in! even though my profile at microsoft connect was mostly fake lol.

it downloaded the 8mb update now it's downloading another update, i reckon it's for avatars and other services.

cool breeze · « **Reply #136 on:** November 14, 2008, 03:02:30 PM »

damnit, I still haven't gotten in. I wanted to get this before Banjo.

FatalT · « **Reply #137 on:** November 14, 2008, 03:11:32 PM »

Anyone with this, I'd like to test out the party feature and see how it works.

some thoughts:

since 2007 fall update, any xbox games you play will be listed in your achievement list, you can delete them now thankfully.

also, i noticed that new videos downloaded have background picture like the latest bayonetta trailer.

I'm with you demi, just no love from Microsoft.

fuck them for no new xbox dash and fuck sony for no killzone 2 beta and fuck nintendo

I didn't get jack shit either. No clue why MS couldn't in let everyone else who signed up.

Vizzys · « **Reply #144 on:** November 14, 2008, 08:11:38 PM »

in my limited time testing

installed gears, it was fast 10mins maybe est.
so quiet running from hdd, so quiet
less pop-in in gears
using party chat mutes the games chat, so you cant hear teammates or enemies at all while in party chat
dash is fast and better looking, not much more to say there
avatars are fun in that create a character way

thats wild homo. you mean in-game characters?

Vizzys · « **Reply #146 on:** November 14, 2008, 08:14:57 PM »

yeah like in gears you can see the mic icon to signify they are talking but you cant hear them at all in the lobby or during the game

cool breeze · « **Reply #147 on:** November 14, 2008, 08:15:15 PM »

Can you at least easily switch between party and game chat?

demi · « **Reply #148 on:** November 14, 2008, 08:15:55 PM »

well if you mean other PLAYERS then yeah it does that with regular private chat too. i am asking if it mutes the game period, like if i was playing co-op while in party chat with people.

Vizzys · « **Reply #149 on:** November 14, 2008, 08:37:02 PM »

the game isnt mute I meant the player communication yea

didnt mess with it too much, there were some options, dunno if you have to quit party chat to hear teammates or what

demi · « **Reply #150 on:** November 14, 2008, 08:39:17 PM »

Party Chat is just like Private Chat, you can only hear the people on that "channel"

MCD · « **Reply #151 on:** November 14, 2008, 09:13:46 PM »

one thing i like is how fast the marketplace now, the icons are bigger but they load faster than the older dash.

probably due to hdd cache or whatever.

I have yet to see an avatar that isn't hideous (no offense to the people who they are based after).

MCD · « **Reply #155 on:** November 15, 2008, 01:28:14 AM »

it needs more options and a better pose.

1440 x 900 monitor support!

Black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. $:-\$

Still looks quite nice though.

Not enough options. It's pretty stupid anyway, just an attempt to get the Wii crowd interested. Whatever. I really do not like the new friends list; much easier to call up the old-style one with the guide button and scroll down faster.

Nope, just 1360x768.

that's fine, i'm used to that, i have to set my PC at that res to keep the fonts from janking up

close enough

1280x720 looks fuzzy on certain games on my TV

You can't really do anything to make it look just like yourself...not enough options! The Mii shit is so simple but this is trying to be more detailed, yet fails. They say that they are going to have more options and a wardrobe closet n' shit though. I will be too busy playing games to give a crap.

I couldn't find a decent hairstyle for me. Also, I'm too lazy to bother with eyes/noses/mouths.

cool breeze · « **Reply #166 on:** November 16, 2008, 01:51:07 AM »

I'm curious to see if it has more options than home, which wouldn't be hard to do considering how limited the home character creator is. Saints Row 2 is the new standard.

And I really wish I had the new xbox dash for Banjo. It's so damn loud right now.

bork · « **Reply #167 on:** November 16, 2008, 01:53:03 AM »

Wish I could do the install thing, but I still have a 20gb drive.

cool breeze · « **Reply #168 on:** November 16, 2008, 01:58:15 AM »

I have a launch 20 gig, but I'm thinking about taking advantage of the Target black friday deal and picking up a new 60 gig 360.

bork · « **Reply #169 on:** November 16, 2008, 02:12:24 AM »

The 60 gig 360 pack seems like a good deal. I could have gotten that to replace my older system a few weeks ago instead of the arcade unit I picked up, but then for just a little more, you can get an arcade pack and a 120gb HD.

In J-Land the 60gb HD is about $100 U.S. and the 120gb HD is $150.

I'm glad I got the elite. 120 GB HDD is pure sex for installing games.

cool breeze · « **Reply #172 on:** November 16, 2008, 05:10:46 AM »

I would much rather have an Elite, but no good deals lately. I still haven't made up my mind to buy another 360 or not. I'm still holding out for a slimmer redesign or something in the future.

according to major nelson, live isn't stable for some now.

Well for what its worth; the HDD installation is pretty quick and the Netflix streaming is awesome. I'm on a dirty poor 27" SDTV so the quality of the Netflix streams look comparable to a DVD on my TV. I'm extremely happy with this new feature.

Man even fucking Rick got in the NXE
