Dash isnt optional unfortunately, but like nokkon, i quite like it anyway.

Avatars might be optional, they're dodging that question though.

do we have a landing date for this yet? To be honest I'm quite excited by it all, yeah I'm used to the old dash but the new one looks fun

Can you still have gamerpics as well as avatars? I like the gamerpics

Suppose I just liked it when it was really simple, i.e. before the last update when they set up the stupid games library so you have to wait for it to read all your arcade games just to play a demo and vice versa.
Would have been nice if the option had been there to switch back to the old one, a la turning off Aero on Vista for example but no doubt once I see it, it'll be more appealing than just the pictures

November is likely, it's been seen on a Rock Band advert and reportedly said from MS people behind closed doors

And yes Jen, Gamerpics remain. In fact I think I read somewhere you can put them on your avatars t-shirt, which would be cool

Awesome! A Chef Brian T-Shirt would be sweet :>

I like the look of the new dash. It's still a little bit too Wii-ish for my liking, but it's still a nice change as the dash is looking aged now I think.

I bought Star Wars: Force Unleashed today. Not played it yet, hope to settle down to a good session with it later if my wrist can take it (screwed it up at football yesterday).

Gamerpics will definitely be included - infact, I doubt your gamertag will change at all. They can't change Gamerpics (unless it's making them HD like they have with the themes) because they've charged for them.

Haly · 27-09-2008, 18:31

I can live with that then

If they do go on the avatar t-shirts I'll probably change back to my Lila/Ctrl Alt Del one then

Let me know what you think of TFU Davey (and Leo as I'm assuming that's what STFU was

), sort of tempted by it for my birthday.

NokkonWud · 27-09-2008, 18:59

I'd have understood SWFU, but I guess he's a trekkie at heart... or perhaps purely confrontational.

leowyatt · 28-09-2008, 09:28

Hahah yes Jen I did mean SWTFU

I just missed out the W!

Hopefully it should arrive on Monday as it didn't appear yesterday

Will give it a blast and let you know.

EDIT: I also noticed in town yesterday that if you traded in SWTFU against BB:HH you'd get it for £15. That means that you only get around £20 trade-in on a game that's been out a week

plus they'd then sell it on for £30 at the least!
