Apparently tomorrow those with a 360 and Xbox Live will be able to get an update, provided they have a hard drive, that'll change the 360 dashboard into something like this: http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/live/NXE/

What're your thoughts and opinions about this? Remember, the update's tomorrow!

I'm really looking forward to Netflix on my 360.

I was actually just asking in the channel; Since this comes out tomorrow, will the update be available right at midnight, or sometime during the morning?

I haven't had the 360 for long, not familiar with the update system yet.

Beats me.  I'm terrible with updates, unless they have to do with Playable Blues or Dr. Mario RX Online.

What the hell? Those are [tornado fang]ing Mii's! What're they trying to pull?! Seriously, you can not say they don't look like stretched out Mii's with fingers without lying.

On a related note, I couldn't care less about the update, I can't get my 360 to go online, much less receive updates.

Microsoft/Rare(I think) already have, and even said it's been in the work since before Miis IIRC.

<.< if they've been working on it for over 3 years, then it should've been there in the first place. Mii's were on the Wii literally when it came out. Heck, the game that came with it used nothing but randomly generated Mii's along with your own created ones.

They do to me. I just see so much of a resemblance, it annoys me. At least Home on the PS3 has different looking people.

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."

Simply means that Mii's... apparently...  were a good idea, so other companies are using similar concepts.

Personally, this "NXE" crap seems pointless to me.  There's nothing wrong with the blade menus.

The Other Side

irc.esper.net #theotherside

Commander Shepard: *stares blankly at a video of scantily clad asari dancers* ...What kind of hotel is this?
Liara T'Soni: It is a luxury resort with an... exotic edge.  Azure is slang for a part of the asari body in some places on Illium.
Shepard: Where?
Liara: The lower reaches, near the bottom.
Shepard: I meant, "where on the asari body?"
Liara: So did I.

Well, if you like the blade menus, then you get a mini-version with the use of the Guide Button. >_>;;

Just thought that I would leave this here for those of you who might be most interested in the NetFlix capability the 360 will get. As it turns out, Sony made a pretty low blow strike today making sure that all Sony Pictures releases would not be appearing on the 360's NetFlix Menu.

So, this is decent, but it was nothing to get all "HOLY [parasitic bomb]" over. It's not that exciting.

Yeah, I admit I was like "...oh, neat.", made my avatar and went on my merry way.

I will admit, though, I do love the quick-shutdown function they added to the blades when you push the Xbox button. I also like that you can remove games from your profile that have 0 Gamerpoints to your name. I've been wanting to lose Mortal Kombat 3 after sampling the trial.

Also, for those interested, I tested a few games by installing them to the hard drive. Across my three games (Devil May Cry 4, Tales of Vesperia, and Sonic The Hedgehog (2006),) none of them had really noticeable changes in loading speed. For the prior two, the load times aren't that bad to begin with. For the last one, though, it's infamous for its gigantic load times. Installing them to the hard drive doesn't speed it up whatsoever, as expected. Still, it was worth testing it out.

They look like 360's answer to Miis to me, but I'll probably be interested in trying it out on my friend's 360. It seems they have more customization options than Miis do.
