It doesn't mean that it will, and it still does not address gamer pics. Not sure why I am harping on this topic so much, but it just sucks if you used points on these things and they are no longer used. </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/104#post-173 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 23:06:48 +0000 Shane 173@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ We've showed you a <a href="http://www.aeropause.com/2008/07/xbox-live-fall-update/">video</a> of how the new Xbox 360 dashboard operates, but how will your old and new game themes fit into the upcoming Fall Xbox 360 experience? No need to worry about losing all those themes you paid for, here's some screenshots plus more UI menu variations:<br /> <br /> <a href='http://www.aeropause.com/wordpress/archives/images/2008/07/2674486108_e1bb0a4947.jpg'><img src="http://www.aeropause.com/wordpress/archives/images/2008/07/2674486108_e1bb0a4947.jpg" alt="" title="2674486108_e1bb0a4947" width="580" height="360" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13572" /></a><br /> <br /> <a href='http://www.aeropause.com/wordpress/archives/images/2008/07/2674936544_e92598b786.jpg'><img src="http://www.aeropause.com/wordpress/archives/images/2008/07/2674936544_e92598b786.jpg" alt="" title="2674936544_e92598b786" width="580" height="360" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13573" /></a><br /> <br /> <a href='http://www.aeropause.com/wordpress/archives/images/2008/07/2674936568_0f9af1cea9.jpg'><img src="http://www.aeropause.com/wordpress/archives/images/2008/07/2674936568_0f9af1cea9.jpg" alt="" title="2674936568_0f9af1cea9" width="580" height="420" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13574" /></a><br /> <br /> via <a href="http://majornelson.com/archive/2008/07/16/what-your-themes-could-look-like-in-new-xbox-experience.aspx">Major Nelson</a> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/86#post-146 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 07:34:52 +0000 Joe 146@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>Yeah, I like the interface, but the avatar concept has to go. I don't feel like playing dress up on my console. Lets see, but I want to go and play some Mass Effect, but first, I have to do this system update. Then before I can play my game, I have to play dolls and dress up my avatar. Now I can finally play the game. Yeah, the creation may only happen once, but why can't I opt out of that and just keep my gamer pic.</p> <p>Oh wait, I know why! So Microsoft can try to charge me for Spaceballs: The T-Shirt, and Spaceballs: The Socks, and of course, my favorite, Spaceballs: The Other Crap I Don't Want. </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/86#post-140 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 01:38:57 +0000 Shane 140@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ Get ready for a whole new learning curve this Fall on your Xbox 360. Yesterday, during the Microsoft demonstration at E3, a truckload of new features came to fruition: The most obvious addition is the 3D interface which I quite like and is somewhat consistent with Media Center and Vista but still has its own flare. Then there's the custom Avatar creator which some of you may feel borrows from other well known consoles, Netflix integration (Will other Countries get this feature?), Xbox Live Prime Time Channel and many, many more. Oh yeah and the guide with the blades is still around:<br /> <br /> <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" id="gtembed" width="480" height="392"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /> <param name="movie" value="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=36412"/> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=36412" swLiveConnect="true" name="gtembed" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="392"></embed> </object>
