The blades were occasionally sluggish when live/my connection was acting up. They hardly worked for shit during the outage last year...I hope nxe isn't tied to the live system like that. if the system is down or screwed up, it shouldn't let you connect at all.

it's slow on certain areas like the game library menu when you have more than 10 arcade games or so.

with NXE, it loads everything there in an instant.

THANK GOD.

I'd heard it mentioned before, but I'm glad to hear it confirmed for sure. The slowness of the current dashboard in this area is so frustrating.

They also don't let you choose a gender. You are a genderless doll who gets dressed up and stands there, the worst part is that they don't have enough things to customize you with I wear glasses, not those, but my choices were between that, harry potter style, or a bunch of sunglasses. Same deal with hair. They don't even let you change the color or the things you wear.

All those months ago it just got less slow. It's still fairly slow, but the new dash seemed to be quick enough. It's gonna be good to go into my downloaded games and not waiting for the list to load before I can select game.

If you think back to how many problems the 360 had when it first launched it's just amazing with how far the came. I wish I could revert my 360 to see how it was way back when you couldn't background download and it was super slow.

Yeah, but let's not forget that back then it was the most powerful dash in a console ever, unless you count Xbox Media Center. At the time, no-one was bitching about it being slow, they were all 'whoa, i can turn on the console from my couch! And start a chat with my friend with 2 clicks! And OMG, custom soundtracks streaming from my PC!'. We just take it all for granted now. I think the PS3 dash has made amazing strides, but because it's still a step or two behind, it doesn't get many props.

Update came up while I was getting ready to stream a tv show. I didnt hear about the major nelson thing. So I'm cooking dinner quit roxanne's game of fable 2 and boom bam thank you ma'am. Took a big but shit now I don't wanna watch what I planed due to the Netflix streaming.

It feels like a whole new console thats for sure. And I dont know if thats a good thing or not. But I'm happy as hell with it.

cool breeze · « **Reply #75 on:** November 17, 2008, 11:17:15 PM »

I find it hilarious that the mini blades are still sluggish, maybe even more than the blades pre-update. It's like they really wanted to capture everything about the old system in there for better or worse.

These suck compare to Mii's because you can't move things around to create different looking things. I can't even make Krauser II in this without coming out with some weird cheeseburger monster.

The funny part is that these are just some stupid perk of the new dashboard, which has all kinds of nice new features. Whereas Homiis (TM) are the corner stone of some pointless MMO set up that Sony has probably wasted the GDP of a small country on.

I'd agree but for the Conker remake. Reminding Nintendo fans it looks better than any game on Wii almost, almost, erases the trauma of buying the PDZ CE.

You cant change the bottom half either. The Night theme changes it black, but if you put a custom image while using Night, it puts it back as grey.

Home has more character customization options, but they still seem human. It's minor shifts of the face that no one would notice. It's hard to say which is actually worse, but I'd like to say avatars since they weren't based around humans directly and instead some gross toon version of humans.
