I guess what I meant to say was don't use xbox live if you really don't like it that much. It's a luxury item, not a necessity. You still have the system blades, just modified a bit.

Right well when you come up with a real solution let me know. Giving up every online feature of a console that has built its reputation around online features is the absolute worst idea I have ever heard to fix any problem. Thats like cutting off your hand to get rid of a splinter. Furthermore, consoles themselves are luxury items. Any extra features are not luxuries but actual features of a luxury item. I have payed for access to Xbox Live. It was part of the selling of the system to me (well Ikaruga and Puzzle Fighter were and I have yet to pick up the latter). Cutting features from a system I payed for so they can ruin the interface is not my idea of a good update either. The systems blades have been gutted and work around the super fugly new system so it is not even close to a solution either.
I really just wish they would throw something similar to the old GUI onto the new system. I understand why they needed to update everything, and why they would redesign the interface. Hell it even makes a bit of sense why they would not bother updating the old interface since it would likely require rebuilding it from scratch based on what Jaggedsac is saying (massive update to the backend). I am just going to whine until they put the work into making the old system work with the new one because it is my given right as a consumer to do so. Unrealistic expectations are allowed as long as I pretend it wouldn't take as much work as I know it would.
