I had the same thing happen to me, no friends anymore! I turned the safety to " Adult" and agreed to the new "terms" and I got everything back,

The new system seems VERY SLOW - the new color isnt bad I like it

Took like an hour for the last update to install

im not too impressed either to be honest, my systems crashed twice tonight already and it seems very slow

i thought we were going to get a increase in the amount of friends we could have? Updates ok i guess, not really liking anything new but not hating either. Haven't checked out the ESPN thing yet.

I don't like the bright white, blockyness of the new update.

When I was installing and I saw the new Xbox 360 intro video I thought "wow, snazzy!", then it got to that introduction section and it went downhill from there.

First things that comes to mind is the Wii. The music that was playing was practically the Wii's music

I preferred the rounded last dashboard, it feels like they've taken a step backwards with this one. Also it keeps freezing and disconnecting me from XBL (Doesn't usually do it, but could have just been my connection).

It's like they took Windows 7, and said "Hey, I know lets go back to Windows 95"

The white is too bright. Doesn't Microsoft know by now that gamers don't venture out into the sun, and our eyes are fairly sensitive?

here's a link to some interesting stats http://www.devicemag.com/2010/11/01/...ve-each-month/


if you read the article and wonder where xbl is expanding to it's

Global expansion. This holiday, Xbox LIVE will roll out service to nine new regions — Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Russia and South Africa —

So be nice to the new guys when they start discovering trials.

they did this with the forza 3 menu system (forza is a microshaft product too), and trust me, the step back in the look of the menu system is nothing in comparison to the forza one.

some bright spark must have said "i know, lets make the background the brightest white everyones TV can manage, and make 90% of the background that colour"

then someone else said "what would make that even better is making all the text really small."
"oh, and what'll annoy them even more is, where there likely to be spending a very long time looking at the menu, in the auction house, make the font even harder to read, and make the colour a light grey so its impossible to read. i'm sure they'll be delighted that they cant read how many credits they're spending on a car"
