Xbox 360 New Dash Update (6th Dec 2011) - Anyone got it downloading yet?

[.Adam.]

Sky's been available on the 360 for two years! LOL.

This.

How are people only just finding out about this?!

 

[AK]

Lol!

This.

No idea. LOL.

People are assuming it's new with this update when we've had it since the first revision of the NXE dash, two years ago.

 

[Gally]

What Sky channels do you get through Xbox?

I was only watching Sky sports when I tried it.

 

[Rhino172]

lol I only used the sky thing once last year sometime as the xbox is in the living room so if I wanna watch sky i'll be using the sky box rather than the 360. I can see how it would be beneficial in another room though.

Does anyone actually use the Zune stuff thats on there? I've never bothered with it tbh.

Loving the new voice activation options on this new update, much better than before and quite impressive. Will be even better when the other content launches (youtube, 4od etc)

 

[AK]

I use the Zune movies a fair bit.

They do work out quite expensive though, so if Lovefilm put some decent films on there I'll go across to Lovefilm.

 

[.Adam.]

I rarely use Sky as it's in my living room (where we have a HD box), but I find it's great for the on demand content such as movies etc.

 

[Christopher]

I think I'll keep my Sky Movies sub, even with the LoveFilm app available.

It's nice to have some of the smaller movie channels that show lesser-known stuff.

 

[Revels]

The streaming needs to be up-to date with what's out on DVD.

If it was recent films, then I'd subscribe. But it's all old.

 

[Snakey]

Just tried to attach my Sky account and it's telling me I've already got 2 devices allocated and need to remove one.

I'm assuming this because I've got SkyGo on my iPhone and iPad?

 

[Rasclart]

Signed up for Lovefilm 30 day trial and £4.99 afterwards. Will see how it goes for a couple weeks.

 

[Nickson]

Anyone figured out how to install games to the HDD with the new dashboard?

I can delete games already installed, but there is no option to install..

Which is why I rang sky to get rid of movies just yesterday.

+1 couple of old films I want to watch but if it don't update I'm cancelling it

Yes mate. They'll both count as two. So you'll have to forgo it one one of the above if you want it on your xbox.

 

[C.J]

I downloaded this last night, doesn't seem too bad.

Simple. But I don't spend any time on the dashboard anyway.

 

[Danny133]

Traded my PS3 back in for an xbox again this morning .. missed the banter

Add me DannyLuke89

 

[VeinAST]

Don't like the update, didn't like the last one. Always thought blades were better.

Sky Player lets me watch all channels now though even though we dont have multiroom and I havent subscribed to it?

 

[Millsy]

Youtube, msnbc, MUZU and Blinkbox are all now available for download. I'm not in the beta and I have all of them installed and working.

YouTube is good except the subscription area would be better with videos by upload time rather than by channel

Msnbc apparently streams free tv including bottom etc.

MUZU is pretty decent, free music videos etc.

Blinkbox seems s**t compared the their site which offers free content, the Xbox doesn't show this content, just paid for films and tv and it's no better priced than Zune etc.

 

[Christopher]

The YouTube app is awesome!

 

[AK]

Excite.

 

[The Fatty]

Youtube and blinkbox is now in the app marketplace for download and use

 

[Matt Cup]

The YouTube app is awesome!

+1 the whole update was worth it just for that imo.

 

[.Adam.]

Youtube app is very good I must say.

Need a keyboard now to make things a bit easier when browsing around on there.

 

[Nickson]

Got to agree, will have to get myself a keyboard as well

Also LoveFilm is awesome. Worth the £4.99 a month easily!

 

[AK]

It'll be worth it when they put some new movies on.

 

[Sym0n]

Lovefilm will be worth it if you don't have the internet...oh.

 

[Nickson]

Braveheart not uploaded yet?

 

[AK]

LOL.

Being legit FTW.

 

[Adam]

Not sure if it has been mentioned before but has anyone else notices the Cloud Storage feature now, did this arrive with this update or has it been there for a while?

 

[Tom]

with the update

 

[Sym0n]

LOL.

Being legit FTW.

More like you're too pikie to buy real broadband of your own so leech your neighbours wireless like a jew.

 

[Christopher]

LOL. Three hours to download 2gb. Pauper.

 

[Adam]

with the update

KK cool, anyone using it?

 

[AK]

LOL. Three hours to download 2gb. Pauper.

Better than near 7 hours, FLOL!

 

[jenic]

4OD is available now. Think its the full back catalogue too so much better than what the PS3 offers.

It stream beautifully too

 

[AK]

Nice. Will try it tomorrow.

 

[Snakey]

Not sure if it has been mentioned before but has anyone else notices the Cloud Storage feature now, did this arrive with this update or has it been there for a while?

I noticed that, I remember something a while back about Cloud being released to download new games. I thought it was going to be a stand alone system though

 

[Sym0n]

I've been using it since I got Saints Row the other day, haven't noticed it with any other games yet though and it doesn't sync with my save games already on my HDD which is a bit disappointing.

 

[jenic]

You have to move your game saves from your HDD to Cloud in the storage management section.

Bit of a PITA, and the amount of cloud storage is s**t considering the stuff you could put on there.
