[QUOTE="Ravensmash"]

[QUOTE="musicalmac"] I didn't know they improved it. What was wrong with it? Was it the quality? I wouldn't mind a little more clarity in mah chat.Da_lil_PimP

I think they updated some codecs or something, I'll go look.

Edit:

Improved voice chat quality– The audio codec is updated to improve Xbox LIVE Party audio quality. So grab your friends and jump into a multiplayer game or catch a big game with friends via ESPN3.

http://majornelson.com/archive/2010/11/01/xbox-360-dashboard-update-is-now-available-november-2010.aspx

Slightly annoyed that there's no ESPN in UK, we have ESPN HD/America here on Sky. I probably wouldn't watch it too often, but it'd be good for boredom.

The voice quality in party chats decreased tremendously. Everybody sounds like robots now.

hmm it increased for me I can hear people better and understand them better...

It sucks... If you like ugly white then it's all good. I don't.

It's not faster and it does not have progression bars any more. Netflix on Xbox is still a joke and they took away HD only tab.

Less features now work fully with my Microsoft Brand Media Remote... Ticks me off.

Now I can't see everything in a row. I have to go all the way across just to see the other half.

Over 66% of the dash is now covered with black on the bottom and big giant blocks of white crap... No sense in getting any themes for your Xbox any more.

MS is really making me angre... Why did they make the most uglyest OS since windows 3.0? WHY?

Will be using my Xbox less from now on. Can't handled the bull MS is doing as of late.

:roll: 1. they took away the hd only tab? really you mean some how microsoft that didn't make the netflix application and doesn't own netflix took away a hd only tab? no what happend is that to see the hd only tab you have to activate a system that is hd capable there is a glitch where the netflix servers aren't recognizing the 360 has hd therefor the hd tab has disapeared. 2.No progress bars? um...no I see them all over 360's netflix. every thing that worked before with the 360 media remote, microsoft brand media remote all still work...dont know what problem your having...hell my Logitech Harmony 610 still works fine with the 360. 3. you never could see every thing in a row you always had to move the icrons to see the entire thing. I'm doubting you even own a 360...66% of black at the bottom? at most its 2%....*shakes head*

The netflix update is awesome! Now I don't have to use my DS3/PS3 to search either. Man, I need to get that dumb harmony adapter for the PS3. Cursed bluetooth.

I'm neutral, I like it runs quicker than the previous dashboard but doesn't look as good, nothing that should stop me from enjoying my games though, I prefer how previously the dashboard items had rounded edges but they have those sharp edge square pictures that don't look as good. Netflix changes are okay, though I don't like how they got rid of the (X) key shortcut for adding items to the library

In my use of it it's not worse and in some ways better, so I did like it. But then it all went to **** yesterday because of all you non-beta people totally destroying the Xbox Live infrastructure. Hope it's been fixed already.

[QUOTE="jerkface96"][QUOTE="XboximusPrime"]

I like it more then the old one. Wonder how the 360 netflicks app and the PS3 one stack up now. Dont know which is better now.

WilliamRLBaker

The Ps3's still streams faster and better, but Not the Xbox has all the instand queue movies just like ps3, instead of just having a list that updates depending on what you watch and etc. I like em both, I find the netflix quality difference to be very minimal, besides the fact that the ps3 loads it in faster and has a better fastforward. but yea it works fine on either console.

thats completely false.
1. disc based the ps3 streamed slower its interface was slower was well.
2. discless its better streaming but the interface is still slow compared, and what do you mean? xbox 360 netlix and ps3 netflix all have and have had access to your instant queue...all of it... I wish people that only just recently started using netflix on 360 or ps3 would stop commenting on 360 and ps3 netflix before they joined.

@the folks saying its system wars, system wars, system wars we can talk about xmb. fine go ahead and let it turn into xmb is better, dashboard is better.

not really.... I had access to all the movies on ps3 instant queue, and only a handful of the 360s, but now that theres a search function I get all of them. I have joined, I dont get why you think youre soo High and Mighty on system wars..... I think its quite funny actually, You accuse people of not trying certain things just because We dont have your opinion.

He might own the console, but he bashes it on a regular basis.

Yes, and he makes hyperboles about how Sony is better. He posts in a rather disruptive manner, giving very bad impression of himself and PS3 fanboys. Get it yet? :P (Hint: Don't you think he fits in the stereotype TOO well?) Just take his posts with a light heart :wink:
