The Old XBOX Megathread

[LL!]

The world may never know.

[Slogger]

xbox.com is acting weird, they seem to have completely removed the Login section, which also shows you your gamertag etc.

[edit]Hmmm, Seems like the xbox.com forums are unavailable too.

Yes, they announced they were gonna go offline to prep for NXE. Shouldn't affect Xbox Live, however.

[JairusCain]

Regarding the NXE, the UK Inside Xbox thing says 10am GMT.

Okay so I'm retarded. 10am GMT in the UK would be what time in EST in the USA?

[Maxx]

5 am, EST

[JairusCain]

5 am, EST

Sweet. Thank you. I should still be awake around that time haha.

I think they are doing it this way to let the Rest of the world get it leaving the Americans to get it without busting the servers. Just a thought.

Perhaps. I'm just excited that it's coming out so early here because I'm usually up until about 7 or 8am anyway so I can update my system and mess around with the new stuff before I go to bed... Now if only the damn Smackdown DLC would be released with it haha.

Just to continue the battle between me and Ruki, my Xbox is in Lagenhagen! Or whatever the hell it was called.

[Slogger]

NXE has gone public!

[King Ellis]

My console says it needs an update, anyone know why?

[EddieRuckus]

Gah, I'm not sure what to do as it doesn't ask me for an update. Do I keep signing in and out, or if you're signed in, will it ask you to download it when it's available?

Edit: NM, finally got it to work.

Seems they're pushing the new Premium themes now. They are 250 and alot of the old ones seem to be 50 now. My old Red vs Blue theme is pretty much rendered useless now thanks to the imposing NXE.

NXE seems to hate XBLA Unplugged. Everytime I try it, it just DC's me from XBL which causes me to be booted back to the dashboard.

Someone give me £50 ¬_¬

[King Ellis]

I'm somewhat tempted myself. I figure you could sell a 20gb hard drive for £30, headset for £5-10, 3 months of Gold for £5, probably not much for the cable. That'd knock down the price a bit. Though I imagine you'd use the Gold.

[Dan]

My headset conveniently decided to stop working yesterday so I'd probably make use of everything in that pack, well worth £50.

[King Ellis]

I didn't notice that there are some new themes to go with the NXE, I will have to try them. That's something i've noticed too, on these premium themes they have special backgrounds for the Friends section. Like, the GoW2 theme has helicopters and armoured viechles and stuff. It looks cool.

^_^ I love that when people are offline, their av goes to sleep. It'd be cute if it wasn't Kaney's mullet wearing, moustachoed guy I was looking at.

Check out the "Night" NXE theme, The best out of the lot IMO. Didn't notice the choppers in the Gears 2 theme, Is that the free one?

[King Ellis]

Yeah, the one of Dom and his stupid wife. Spectrum seems to be the same as the default theme though, shame. Hope more free Premiums come out, i'm not spending 250 on them.
