Oops. Forgot about that... Didn't realize they were completely cutting off the main page of their site either.

Anyway I did end up watching it on Gamespot, got tired of missing all the cool stuff... Regardless by the time I got started watching it I missed everything that was good (Fallout 3, Fable 2, and GoW 2).

halo is a HUGE title, My guess is that they would save that for the final few hours of E3 to get the maximum possible hype! =)

So I'm still hopefull =D

Why do I get the feeling that that countdown timer has something to do with their latest project?

Like.. erm.. the start of a new series related to Halo but not necessarily staring the chief?

Does the new dash look slow to anyone?

If you mean slow as in retarded then yes.

The retarded Dash update is supposed to come out in the fall. That should give us enough time to love our old dashboard to death until the update gets released.

If Microsoft honestly uses that ugllyyyy dashboard and gets rid of custom themes and avatars, I'm buying a different console...

I noticed this starting here so I made a seperate post for this. Lets stick to E3 talk in the E3 post. Bungie did not show at E3 so far, so there irrelevant.

I have to agree. This might be the downfall of the 360.
(I hope Microsoft finds this thread and and changes the dash)

They specifically said that if you subscribe to Xbox Live (Gold, that is) you can rent movies at "no additional cost."

I for one won't, I tend to spend more time playing the game than staring at the dashboard...

Ohh, don't worry about that. There is an ENTIRE FORUM dedicated to flaming this new dash on xbox.com. Its called E3 2008.

If 8+ pages of "This dash sucks" doesn't sober them up, I don't know what will.

It looks like the goddamn Wii. Now with the latest updates to the PS3 (in-game XMB, gamercards, trophies) that is going to take the cake (in terms of GUI as well as functionality) for sure.

Something that made me really mad. Is the really short amount of time Resident Evil got! They had just gotten to a nice boss. It would have been a great preview... Instead it was nothing special and im sure all the PS3 fanboys will see the better preview during there E3..

I can't believe the people at G4 liked the dashboard update. I know they are saying out loud but in their hearts they are outraged.

Oh, so when the PS3 steals everything it's good. I see.

Before the show started they all specifically said they would not like avatars and whatnot. They are hiding it until later.
