The summer 2009 Xbox 360 dashboard update is almost ready to launch, and so Microsoft released this batch of images showing some of the new stuff included.

Edit: Have they said if awards for avatars are retroactive? Are old games going to give them too? Will that be a patchable thing?

-- This doesn't look too interesting.
1. Browse to the Arcade Section.
2. See Monkey Island.
3. Select Monkey Island.
4. Sit there with a 'Wait' icon on the 'Featured Downloads' window for around 30 seconds. Buy game and Trial game are greyed out.
5. 30 seconds or so later Buy becomes available.
6. Wait some more.
7. Trial becomes available.
8. Select Trial.
9. Wait another 30 seconds before some text appears.
10. Select download.
11. Wait 10 odd seconds and the download starts.
It's just lame, the old dash was as fast as anything. I notice that when I downloaded the KOF trial it was super quick, but I got two errors, so didn't get the big background picture or something else.
I've reset the cache, there's not a lot else I can do :(
Cool stuff, but in most of the screens i failed to notice anything new :D
Also i have to wonder, when the FUCK are those of us in Europe / Sweden ever getting Video on Demand?? Netflix? Hello? Can we get any kind of update on that? Its supposed to be one of the main selling points of the 360's out-of-game features, yet we STILL havent gotten anything like that in the several years the 360 has been out ^_^
I know, copyright issues. Stupid movie publishers and blah blah legal stuff.
I dont care, copyright can go kiss my hairy ass for all i care.
I guess ill just keep torrenting until they fixed their legal squabble and actually want to accept my money.. lol ironic isnt it.
And Fujisawa, i agree, though it definetly does NOT take 30 sec, more like 10. Still too long for a bunch of text and small icons though.
It actually takes most of the time several minutes for me to see "all downloads" for a certain game to load..It's crazy and there for I almost never download something because it makes me sick of waiting. It started right after NXE launched. With the blades I didn't had any problems. I've got 20/3 mb cable, ports correctly forward. The strange thing is that I got another account on the same console and when I sign in on that account the same downloads popup immediately?..I tried it at my brother’s house same problems so it got to be account related..
play the game.
Furthermore, I don't really see the reason for all the bitching, when Microsoft already announced that the relaunch of the video store will bring more countries to the party (Sweden among others). And expecting Netflix outside of the States is just stupid.
Couple it with Hulu, and I only need TV like 2 hours a week.
Also they are going to keep track of how many gamnes you of collected 100% achievements on. wonder if thats linked to the awards thing.
