New Xbox Experience has no loopholes

Se7enSins Bot · 10-02-2008, 12:10 AM

Those wishing to avoid or circumvent the update of all updates coming later this fall have been outsmarted once more. Staying offline will only postpone the installment.

Every new game coming out will contain the necessary code to obtain the new update without any choice. Therefore users can either just play old games or quit alltogether. Either choice looks unlikely.

For those accepting of the update, especially looking forward to the Netflix feature will be happy to know that Netflix and Starz are now in cahoots meaning more content to stream. Also partnering in is CBS and ABC with conibuous streams of their shows 24 hours after they are aired. Neato.

**JoeMal** · 10-02-2008, 08:09 AM

Streaming shows is cool, that'll save me from looking them up on teh internetzorz

**Venomous Fire** · 10-02-2008, 09:12 AM

Thats how it is already lol

Unupdated boxes for Linux have to not play newer games

**Holy Ownage** · 10-02-2008, 11:38 AM

That sucks for Linux users I guess.
At least we can still revert to the original dashboard after the update.

The streaming feature sounds cool. I wonder how much the whole netflix thing is going to cost.

They said the guide menu is now basically what the current dashboard is, and everyone assumed they meant you could go back

**T Sizzles** · 10-02-2008, 10:02 PM

It's gonna be interesting how they change around the guide, my guess is it's going to be bigger to accommodate the blades.

LeeringPaladin · 10-08-2008, 08:39 PM

Is there any news on a more exact release date?
Instead of just fall?

**S y N I K a L** · 10-08-2008, 10:02 PM

Nope, thats the point of a 'fall" update. Im sure we will all find out right when they release the release date.

**Scare Croe** · 10-09-2008, 03:32 PM

Im still curious on how they are going to implement in the Themes and Gamerpictures that I have paid for.
