    It is damn good and I especially love the Avatar feature where you create your own character!

    No. You still need the disc to boot up the game for verification.

    If you had read the thread you'd know.
    "Makes 360 quieter, reduces loading times slightly, reduces strain on disc reader since not constantly in use.."
     
  8. Not only that but NXE provides a new party system with up to 8 people that can talk as they play across different games, as well as increased speed for pulling up the mini-dash itself during gameplay.

  10. I guess you didn't hear us the first time, or the second time, let's try a third:



    INSTALLING GAMES "MAKES 360 QUIETER, REDUCES LOADING TIMES SLIGHTLY, REDUCES STRAIN ON DIS READER SINCE NOT CONSTANTLY IN USE.."

    so ye, onother POINTLESS option, since it also takes time to install the games, it takes as much time as the waiting times...

    Lmao.
    Well done for shooting yourself in the foot there. Since what I quote -was- what the installation of games provides.

    And so what? Leave your 360 on when you're not playing to get some games installed and then it's quicker next time you play. It's not a useless option at all, it's very clever. You save massive amounts of time in the long run.

    Now stop crying just because you're against change of any form, even if it's a good one.
    Aside from maybe looks, (and that's personal preference) the new dashboard is purely a positive update.

    It's pointless if you re going to install all your games it takes the xbox more time to start up and so waiting time= startup time... Also microsoft wants u to go and buy a bigger harddrive...well if u have a lot of games and plan on installing them all... I don't want to spend onother 80$ or w/e the price is on a HD
    And btw if I play games I useually put the volume up so I don't hear the noise so, /care bout that...

    1/NO. WRONG. DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT COMPUTERS AT ALL?

    2/The 360 pr­o model now sells with a 60gb HD as standard so you cant really pull the "microsoft are leeching my money" trick. Yeah, unlucky if you bought yours ages ago but they're not giving you small HDs anymore.

    3/Putting the volume up on a game does not mean the noise of the disc drive is non existant, it will still be largely noticable especially if you play games with quieter parts in them. I'm presuming you don't though since you seem a bit simple and so probably don't understand anything apart from SHOOTY SHOOTY LOLOLOL.
