    Wow you're enjoying dragging this out! They're all on the edge of their seat.

    LOL

    You must work for / for an agency of Microsoft to be hitting the mark with some of your info.

    Otherwise your *cough* *coughs* are breaking NDAs to beat the band.

    I work for MS. Happy to let people wait to find out themselves.

    That's what you think - Your auto NDA'd if you work for MS or a vendor.

    If your company has an NDA with Microsoft it's in your contract unless they've omitted it .

    Be careful friend!

    Enjoy the beta though

    So once the beta comes out, we have to take all our chat to the Mircsoft private forums don't we?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 215 ✭✭D3UC3 J3


    Yup.

    If you in you should have read the "EXPECTATIONS" article on connect.microsoft.com

    Pretty much spells it out, and I suppose why there is a private forum!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 713 ✭✭✭Crackity Jones


    And the time has come. Sys update in progress

    Edit. I'm in! Looks über slick. Kinect has also become 1000% more useful!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,268 ✭✭✭Meesared


    Also downloading :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,705 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Downloading too. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,654 ✭✭✭Thor


    No update here.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 713 ✭✭✭Crackity Jones


    Wow voice recognition is impressive. It works without having to speak 'properly' or loudly or slowly. Well done on that microsoft. Not sure about the aesthetics of the tile system. No new apps either yet.

    Waiting, waiting, waiting, for it to finish, it's not like I've got Skyrim to play is it :mad:

    /Kicks xbox to hurry the fook up :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,089 ✭✭✭DjFlin


    Aside from the new look (Which I do like), does this bring anything new to Irish folks?

    So far all I'm seeing is:

    Advertisements
    Better Kinect controls
    Advertisements
    Cloud saving
    Advertisements
    Bing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,268 ✭✭✭Meesared


    I would assume there is more apps on the way!

    I'm optimistic about the app store. It has potential.

    I'd like more control over notifications, the simple on/off switch is useless. I'd like to be able to set it for certain friends.

    Also, the way the Games Hub is laid out, you can filter games by:

    All
    Demos
    Arcade
    Indie
    Kinect
    Recently Played
    Recently Downloaded

    So if I want to play an Xbox Original, or a Full 360 game I got On Demand, I cant quickly sort them that way, I have to go to All Games, and browse through my whole collection. Seems really stupid to me.
