"Why don't I like Fallout 3? I just am not getting into it. I'm about 4 hours in and I'm supposed to be looking for a radio station. I am taking my time, doing some exploring and really trying to enjoy it. While I'm playing though, all I can think about is wanting to play something else."

When's the new Dashboard?


SupermanSam6 ASKS:

I have seen a lot about the new dashboard and can't wait 'til it comes, but I've also heard that it might not be coming to the UK which is not music to my ears. Is this unfortunate news true? If not, when will it automatically download onto our 360's?

OXM SAYS:

The Xbox 360's new Dashboard will be a worldwide launch, so no need to worry about it not reaching the UK. Although Microsoft hasn't given a firm release date, we do know that the Dashboard will be up and running sometime during the fall (unless there are delays, of course). Once it's released, the Dashboard will automatically update when you log in to Live; however, Microsoft has not yet announced how to get the update if you do not have a Live account. We'll be keeping our eyes out for any news on the upcoming feature, but Microsoft has remained rather tight-lipped.

COMMENTS:

I believe that the fall2008 update releases and will be officially lanched on the 19 nov

Did anybody watch any of the trailers in the XBOX Live box? Somewhere I thought they said it was going to be a purely optional download, and worries of bricking your console were uttered buy someone in the latest issue of the XBOX mag. Or maybe I was just dreaming, however it is highly anticipated and I wonder if the older consoles are up to the task of a new format..........hmmmmmmmmm

Each day for the past few, a countdown has appeared on my Xbox 360. It is currently 01:30PST, and the ad banner is showing, "Become the star of the game" and "9 Days until the New Xbox Experience!" Selecting the banner displays in big letters, "Coming November 19: The New Xbox Experience!" followed by a couple of menu options, "Become The Star Of The Game," and "The New Xbox Experience." So for all of those who have been guessing when the official release date will be for "The New Xbox Experience," it will be downloaded some time to consoles around the world on November 19th, 2008. Get ready, because it's only eight days away from when this message was posted even though the ad banner displays "9 Days Until..." Regards, HoundCat

Okay for omgitsgeorgelopez, your a complete idiot. How can microsoft copy software from the zune product when microsoft manufactured the zune. Good damn idiot.

TTDog. He was being sarcastic. He knows those people didn't invent those things that was his point. Some one right before him said microsoft copied apple ipod with the zune and is now copying nintendo with avatars. He was responding to that person with a sarcastic remark alluding to the fact that those companies got their ideas from someone else as well.

I hope the new dashboard isn't called "XBOX 360 Vista Dash" or else 3...2...1...You have been disconnected from xbox live

Apple did not invent the MP3 player retard, they just manufacture the most well known version, and customisable characters had been around for a long time before Nintendo starting using them.

Deathstar79 = Epic Failure

Yeah, because Apple invented the MP3 player, and Nintendo invented the customizable character.

Leave it up to the shameless microsoft to copy someone else's idea (zune, wii avatar).

Dashboard Update Sepember 19

I wonder if this update will include support for the rumored External Blue-Ray drive that Toshiba will or is manufacturing. Then maybe the 360 will be able to stream .m2ts files like the PS3.

how long is it goin to take

but when will the true dashborad update come?

i think its pretty stupid that they wasted there time doing a update for the update. Why didn't they just do the Dashboard update

They didn't take live down to put the new dashboard in. They were just preparing it for a later release.

New Dashboard Out September 30th @ Midnight

Also, forgot to mention below that for those of you without live, microsoft normally includes the dashboard updates on games that are released after the update comes out on live, so when you put in a new game you will be prompted to install the update.

I think that it's safe to assume the update will download automatically when you sign into xbox live and you will only need to get it once per xbox. Thats what they've done in the past and I don't see any reason why it would be different this time round.

i like the new dashboard there very nice and i was wondering if there gonna automaticlly download on my xbox 360 or i have to gte xbox live to get the new dashboard for every gamertag

Yes. :) By which I mean, yes it'll be free, it'll improve browsing for arcade games, they are trying to match & even exceed Wiis & Miis, and if you prefer the old dashboard style, that will still be used in the pop-up guide that opens when you hit the Guide button.

The "avatar" thing, is microsoft trying to match the wii or what? I like the idea. It would be cool if people with like 10,000 GS (Gaming Score) got speacial clothing or ect... stuff for your avatar. It would be saying "Good job for wasting time getting GS!!!". What do you think?

HITMEN187 IS IT GOIN TO BE FREE

i like the way the new dashboard is going to look. i really cant wait for it. i just hope it makes it easier to browse your arcade games.

yeah it looks good but i like the old dashboard too mabe if you can switch back to back on the types of dashboards that would be good
