Soooo, I really, really hate the new dashboards. It feels and looks like the old dashboard, if it were the pirated, camcorder bootleg of it.
Why are there so goddamn many blank spots? Did they run out of money for the color budget?

Raaaaage.
I go out to buy a 1600 point card. And I find out they tax for these things now. Which is especially annoying seeing as I bought one LAST WEEK with none.
Then I get home, and have to download the new dashboard instead of go right into business. (Which I'm not a fan of for the record.)
And then, when that's finally done, I go to download Fan Access for Smackdown 2011...and "it can't retrieve information from Xbox LIVE." I can't even get to the downloads menu for Smackdown 2011. And every other game I've tried is working fine just fine.
Microsoft, why are you being so annoying this week?

Sorry to double post, but I've noticed a change since the download.
I don't have Xbox Live Gold, so on the old dashboard it listed me as having Xbox Live Silver.
But now with the new dashboard, it lists it as Xbox Live Free.
Could this perhaps mean Xbox Live Silver will be reintroduced as a cheap alternative to Gold?

I thought I remember reading that somewhere....that silver was being renamed "free"

I thought I remember reading that somewhere....that silver was being renamed "free" Yeah. Silver is Free. Outside of the Family Plan, which is just up to four Golds for the price of two and some MS Point splitting options, there's nothing else planned, just rumorz of a new XBL Silver or an XBL Platinum. Which really... doesn't make a ton of sense. You'd think they'd have left Silver or renamed it Bronze or something, but eh... Raaaaage. I go out to buy a 1600 point card.

Anyone here have NBA 2k11? My roommate and I are having the same problem of every Association game being low scoring, Im talking both teams in the 70's every game. Ive always played with 8 minute quarters in 2k games, and for some reason its just different this year. I upped the quarters to 9 minutes and upped the Game Speed as well, but same result.
And no, im not just really bad at the game. 49% FG over 10 games, but only 78.6 PPG. I could accept it if I was terrible, but that doesnt explain away the comp only putting up 72 PPG. Its immensely frustrating. Its like they want to make me to 12 minute quarters, and thats just too long.

Apparently, the formula to get my Xbox back up and functioning is: 1.) Google everything about it, find out the RF port is fried. 2.) Call MS and arrange for surgery. 3.) Decide to wait it out and get a new 360 slim. 4.) Wait 10 days. 5.) Get bored and restless, decide to fire up old system for craps and giggles. 6.) ?? 7.) It works?! I did disassemble it as far as I could without the proper screwdrivers, and breathed really hard into the RF port like 10 days ago. But it was sitting untouched, in a bag... I have no idea what to make of this. Anyone wanna play 2k11? GT: BooksmartDevl89 Edit: Fired up 2k11, was in the middle of a game.. controllers lost connection and won't stay connected now. Back to hating my Xbox. Edit 2: I can now maintain a connection. I'm keeping it plugged in on the wire as a precaution, though. I really have no idea anymore...

On the scoring side, I'm getting pretty good scores. But then again, I have it set on easy, and for exhibition, I'm using a created team with a bunch of superstars on it, including Jordan.

So I caved in and picked up Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. I still find it completely boneheaded there's no plans to make the game online capable, but for $5, I'm willing to play ball.
Oh, and I love the Assault Rifle in Saints Row 2 with thrown weapon add-on. I managed to do whatever was required for the infinite ammo for the AR relatively quickly and firing off the thrown weapons just makes things a lot easier. I just got done taking out one of the bosses with one shot. Three bikers pull up... one shot at the center, three blown up bikes and his health dropped completely.

I'm getting very angry at Microsoft.
The Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 DLC on Xbox Live is still down.
It's been like six days.
Can anyone else access it?

So apparently Activision didn't think enough ahead of time to provide females with the collector's edition avatar stuff for Black Ops. So they quick fixed it and made universal codes that any female can redeem...
