Remember the old xbox 360 dashboard and how fun it was?

Let this thread help us reminisce.

And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360...

It was so good, you get questions like this asking for it back:

''I'm getting irritated with this NXE (New Xbox Experience) Operating System. It's easy to navigate once you get used to it, but it's frustrating my brain to try and figure it all out when downloading or what-not's.
If anyone has any idea, I'd appreciate any answer.''

Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Well I read a FAQ from Microsoft earlier promising there would be an option to use the old blades instead after people sent them a barrage of questions about it. Who knoes if they will actually implement that or not. I personally like it better. Theres just to much empty screen real-estate in the new experience. It seems dumb to me to have these little blocks or windows I guess they are thar are like 1/22 of the screen rather than the blades which were much quicker to navingate (albiet some things were redundant) and had that nice swoosh-ing sound too.

Does anyone know how to turn that older interface on? I hate nxe. :(



Commando on 23 November 2008

No. If they are going to implement it, I don't think they have done it yet. I searched the settings and junk for it.

All major XBox games have already seen sequals on the 360, the entry pricing is similar to the end of days for the original XBox. Nearly all hardcore XBox fans thus likely already upgraded to a 360.

IMO from now on Microsoft mainly tries to appeal to casual gamers, tries to compete with the same market Nintendo targeted. XNE is the first major step, probably we are going to see lots of simple party games from Microsoft.

PS3 vs 360 sales

I don't knoe. I'm not gonna bash your line of logic really, but I don't see that at all. There may be a good sprinkling of party games, but I'm pretty sure MS knows what side the bread is buttered on. Over 2 million Gears of War 2 sales in week 1 or something like that? I don't think thats caz support at all.
but hey, what if yur right? let's see.

@ mikeB, they are still going to focus on hardcore games because they sell very well, and everyone loves money!

Anyway, I think what they mean by allowing you to use the old blades is just to use the mini guide, because that is pretty similar

I do actually find it slightly over complicated, finding active downloads is far too compicated

@ Munkeh111

Yes I agree, it's likely there's going to be a Gears 3 or maybe a Halo 4. But I think new yet un-established franchises will mostly focus on the casual market.
