I'm really pissed off that I can't arrange my apps, and the format of the arcade games list. I have a lot of games on there, and it's really fucking hard to remember what I have without slowly scrolling through them all - add that to the fact that I can't filter out demos.
Preach it, brother! I'm a "free" Live member, so I have no place to bitch, but finding my eff'n game I bought and want to play should not be hard!?
whatd they do now
I play my 360 so infrequently that every time I log on, shits different.
I haven't been on it since June CCAG where I played Insanity X
When you go to "games" they're no longer compartmentalised. You can select a filter, but only one at a time, and arcade games incluse demos. Stupid. The metro UI does look alright though.
Interesting.
oh well, lol
I like it. The set-up is really nice, and easy to use. I got used to it pretty quick. :)
Can't you just press the XBOX button (or whatever that button is called) to bring up a pseudo-"blades" type of menu and select games? They really do have issues settling on a GUI. I like PS3's GUI a lot I just wish it wasn't so slow to deal with in-game and we probably don't need that many categories.
I hardly ever turn my 360 on, and every time I do, the dashboard looks different (after the requisite update.). Don't they have better things to do? I still like the original dashboard with the "blades" or whatever.

You bought the console. You have plenty of place.
I still miss the original blades setup. I really couldn't stand NXE. I haven't spent enough time with this new setup to have an opinion.
My biggest gripe is that you need Gold to watch Youtube. WTF?
The last update bricked my console. I am out of warranty, so now I need to buy a new one or waste all of the games I've built up for the system. Lame.

My video chip fried after about 5 years, but the whole thing cost me £50. I got a new one with HDMI for another £50, and then a composite cable for my Wii, which sorted out a bunch of cabling :)
I am just waiting until it goes on sale for $200 with a HD. Should be holiday 2012 for sure.
I just think there's generally too much stuff in your face in the recent dashboards. When I bought mine, the avatar-dashboard had already arrived so I haven't really got to use the blade-dash but...this one, it kind of ruins the whole point of themes or custom backdrops. But really, no, I don't care there's a new DLC for Gears, not interested in hiring a movie from whatever, get it out of my face. >: |

You missed it back during Black Friday last year. Best Buy, Newegg, and I think Gamestop had the 250GB model with 2 games for $200. It's why I got mine.
(Newegg actually started their promotion early Thanksgiving morning, and that's when I jumped on it.)

Or you can snagg 1 of those awesome Star Wars Xboxs. Yea its pricey but o so satisfying to hear R2-D2 talk when you start it up lol.
Decent deals pop up on other holidays as well you just need to keep your eyes open. I got a 4GB with Kinect, 2 games and some accessories at Target a month or so ago at $250, plus I got a $50 Target gift card.
Regardless, it still sucks that I had to replace it anyway since my original Elite croaked on me.
