The new xbox experience sucks

[Irock]

It doesn't consider that some people have cheap TVs that don't display the sides of the screens, and that any content on the side won't be displayed. Every video game and every other console GUI I know of consider this. Everything else is fine though.

Discuss~~

[Esmeralda]

Yeah it sucks

Why won't your TV display the sides of screens? Pics

It's Microsoft's fault, switch to mac.

Oh look its the new Wii OS

I don't really mind the UI or the avatars, but I kinda wish they had more stuff for the avatars.

the PS3 browser is utter crap.

option -> sub option -> sub option -> sub option -> sub option -> sub option -> what you were looking for in the first place

Have you even used it?
I mean if all you want to do is play a game you press guide button play game, and theres only 7 menus, one of them for ads only, and 3 of them are for the marketplace, so its basically, YOUR XBOX CRAP, YOUR FRIENDS, EVENTS AND NEWS!

[Nightwolf]

Holy shit I had this nightmare that an xbox came to my room, then it's controls caught me and then it smashed iteslf on my head.


For Real.

[haloOfTheSun]

I think it looks ugly.

[CartoonFan]

I miss the old one, but I like having an avatar who's dressed like a pimp!

The old one was easier to navigate, and looked more advanced. When you pressed the "XBOX" button in the middle of the screen, a side-sliding thingy came up in the middle of your game, and it looked really cool.

Now when you press that button, a regular average looking blue box appears instead. How boring.

[MrMoo]

I liked the look of the old one and the navigation for the most part. But I've noticed the new dashboard and guide loads much faster, and the guide is more efficiently built. The dashboard takes some getting used to, but the marketplace is much easier to navigate now.
I like hard drive saving of games, since my copy of GTA:IV got scratched, now I can just install it and play with the CD not spinning.
Avatars are alright. I don't really care though, since you won't see it anywhere other than the community games and one area of your profile.

It's a so-so update I guess.

They should have at least included an option to revert back to the old format.

YOU WILL MOVE FORWARD AND LIKE IT, DAMNIT

[Malson]

I have no problem with the new format, I'm just saying it would have been a smart move on Microsoft's part and kept people like Irock from bitching about it.

most tvs have a button that changes the aspect ratio. try messing with that 4:3 will probably fit but may look dumb as thell be less content up to the edges.
