Nice game, though. Loving the sensors on the bike.
It's up to over 852,000 views now & well worth it, but it's got to be a viral ad, no?
Sorry Kimi, but the dashboard update is much more than just the Avatars, which are pretty sweet as is. The whole interface is so much cleaner & easier to navigate. I really like the ability to go to the strategy videos & press x to access full archives of them (no more having to view them within a 10 day period or they're gone).
I also liked the whole party system. Yesterday the kid & I were in a party of about 15 or so yakking away while some of us were playing together and others were on the dashboard and yet another was customizing his avatar. It was also pretty cool to view the whole group together by viewing my friends and seeing the speech bubbles keep popping up from avatar to avatar as each of us spoke.
Speaking of the friends view, I also like the way that new themes (like the special preorder one for GoW2) puts a different background behind each of my friends avatars (makes the default ones look like garbage). Guess I'll be spending more MS points for new themes now. :wink:
Then there's the video streaming from Netflix!!!!
Wow, even my wife loves that update. We watched some great hi-def movies last night and the whole thing is just flawless. I can't wait until the next update when I can watch flicks with my friends even if they don't have a Netflix account. I think Netflix parties are going to rule, as there's nothing better than watching hilarious or really bad movies with a bunch of buddies making comments throughout. :lol:
I can also access all my coaster POVs and watch them on my 50 inch HD plasma, which is also super cool.
Seeing what's happening this week is also much easier and the improvements also include the ability to keep on playing games without pausing downloads that are running in the background & the way to access the extra content is also vastly improved.
The new Xbox expierence gets a big thumbs up - way up - from me!
As for those avatars -
