[stuntpenguin007]

I just saw the e-mail for my invitation to try out the new dashboard. Discuss the new dash when it comes out here if You've got it.


edit: the picture got scaled down when it was uploaded but in the terms of service they basically say If my 360 breaks they could care less.

edit: Just got the dash. Not really that much new stuff.

I can finally change my windows live ID
you can rate downloaded things
community games are now indie games

I didn't here anything about a new dashboard coming out. When did this happen?

[stuntpenguin007]

I had no clue either but I went on xboxscene to see if anything cool was happening with the xbox and it said they were holding registration for this open a little longer. All I could think was holding it open longer? This is the first I've herd of it.

GAHHHHHH!!!! I'm sorry but this deserves a post of its own.

It FREAKIN ATE MY XNA SUBSCRIPTION!!!

ok enough with the caps lock but I just entered my XNA 4 month subscription and now that it has a feature to change my windows live id I did so. But when I try log onto my XNA account it tells me my account has been associated with a different windows live ID.

I'm gonna put an angry post in the preview forums with at least 6 frowny faces


edit: guess I just over reacted. 5 Minutes later and it worked

Yeah I got accepted to the preview program earlier this week. It's not a 'new dashboard,' it's just the ability to test some new features like games on demand, avatar marketplace, improved Netflix streaming, etc. The full list is here. So far none of the changes have been very compelling, but I haven't used the Netflix stuff too much. I hope to play around with that soon.
