Agreed. It's also female-unfriendly.

There must be balance.

Henry Cavill introduces the next Xbox
 
Back on topic: Does anyone else think that the Xbox 360 dashboard update semi-confirms that P2P Multiplayer and Networked App access will be put under Xbox Live Silver instead of Gold (i.e. removed from paywall)? Surely if such a thing were to happen then it would require a pretty major software update to the 360.

Edit: Personal opinion: MS announces that XBL Gold is no longer required for online access to multiplayer and apps, software patch to deliver it and updated 360 UI/UX around June.
 
A friend of mine whose part of the event just briefed me on what to expect on May 21st. This was my reaction:

Just playing.
Where are the pseudo-insiders when you need them??

We need GopherD...

since you cant say much, should we assume the reaction will be for the games, hardware, or both?

How does it confirm anything like that? It's just a redesigned dashboard.

If multiplayer went off from Gold subscription, would you renew it?
 
Alright guys, just a heads up, going to post the OT a few hours early, maybe the night before the event and Nirolak will lock it and then open it again an hour before it starts since I will be out of the house during the conference (meaning won't be at a PC to post the thread).

NICE!

Depends on what they offer. Personally, if they add Xbox Music/Video subscription I would renew it.

Just my opinion. I guess it doesn't really confirm anything. I, personally, think that they'll remove the paywall for multiplayer and networked apps. It just makes sense to me that they would, even though that's not based on any rumor or evidence. To do this they'll need a pretty major software update. This announcement fits right into that theory.
