Actually, what he said isnt true. Im using a Mass Effect theme I got when the first one came out. Also, wit the update a few days ago, Microsoft actually made the theme look better on the dashboard. It was the first thing I noticed.SmashLovesTitanQuest said:
Also, the new set up is kinda nice. They fixed problems with apps having a hard time loading, and have added a 'pin' button that lets you put apps/games/etc. on a helpful list on the homepage.
Yeah.... Had to tell you that because someone who uses M$ is usually incredibly biased.
EDIT: Also, I dont mind the advertisements they put on the dashboard. They are extremely unintrusive. They are at the least looked at spots on each page, and they make no sound unless you scroll onto them. Most of them are smaller than most of the icons on each page to.
Why are they so fucking set on getting people to use their shitty web browser? It's free. They aren't making any money off the damn thing.
Oh no, this is such a tragedy. I haven't used my Xbox in about 2 months (forgot the power adapter at home) and I really can't see a way to post anything on Facebook without it.
I am not sure how many will be affected by this, but seeing some use it to upload screenshots this does suck a little. It doesn't change anything in my regard though since I don't like paying for gold nor to type sentences using a controller rather than a keyboard. Even a virtual keyboard such as the one on my iPad keeps me from typing too much.

what is wrong with using your smartphone/laptop/desktop/vita for Facebook and twitter? Why were they added in the first place?
What? You mean we have to use our gaming machine to play actual games?

I really wish Microsoft would stop forcing their crappy browser on people. So if facebook and twitter added value, does this mean that the price of Xbox live is coming down? I hope that's what it means.

Further proof that corporations are always being pulled eight different ways.
People tend to think of corporations as a big single minded blob, but the reality is that there are, at any single time, typically dozens of people within a corporation that can significantly change it's direction with the slash of a pen on their own recognizance.
Of course, there exist systems of checks and balances for that sort of thing within any structure, but they tend to be reactionary rather than preventionary, so you still end up with massive problems like this, corporations saying one thing for years then suddenly doing another out of nowhere with seemingly no rhyme or reason because someone or a group of someones within the structure got scared into their shell and made a bunch of commands to the lower echelons by themselves.

I don't even have a facebook or twitter account, so I couldn't care less about this. Besides, even if I did have accounts with those places, I would refuse to pay Microsoft in order to use a service that is free on my PC.
