Well, yeah. They straight up say in the EULA when you sign up that they are not responsible for it. That part is expected with a OS beta for any device.

Hmm... doesn't the current 360 dashboard already look fairly similar to the Xbox One dashboard?

Any way to remove the beta, im having all kinds of problems tonight. What a mistake signing up to this.
The update is not even out yet lol.
The problems you are seeing are not beta related. Live and xbox.com are acting weird.

Xbox One always online my ass, they cant even get the 360 to work properly on a normal monday night.

MS points have gone, the guide button menu has a darker green when things are highlighted and er...that's it.
Can we expect improves to the dashboard itself such as layouts or is this just a minor update?
Yeah, going through menus, and I haven't found anything different. It might have increased the login time.
You have a keen sight! I notice the darker colours and the use of real currency in the store.
Hopefully we will see a change to the UI.
The Xbox 360 patch since the last dashboard updates is always two stages.
The first is the core update that is 16 MB since there are still some first generation Xbox 360s around. This is the base OS with a DVD firmware update.
The Xbox 360 then powers itself down after a DVD firmware flash and restarts.
The next stage is downloading avatars which is about 100 MB+.

You can now enable auto-downloading of game and app updates.
From Major Nelson's Twitter:
"If you signed up for the Xbox 360 Public Beta on my blog last week, we're starting to roll the update out today. If you missed it, carry on"
Granted, some people already got it, but there's official word of it now.

Yeah, it's definitely not a pre-patch.

Interesting for UK folks:
400 = £4.49
800 = £8.99
1200 = £11.99
1600 = £14.99
400 = £4.49
800 = £8.99
1200 = £11.99
1600 = £14.99

Xmb will probably still smoke it in aesthetics.

Thats bullshit, when they originally sold the points they were 400 = £3.40
We're getting fucked.
I had 1270 points before the update, they've converted them to £10.88 (which is in line with what i've said) and then priced 800pts at £8.99, this is a joke.

Don't see the point of a beta if the major change is currency format

They are offering me £81.26 for 9530 MSP... doesn't seem enough somehow.
Just made a thread in that, bastards

So my 1200 MS Points are gone. Can I still use them for Ducktales HD? How do I access them?

They're automatically converted to real currency. When you go to purchase a game it'll explain it to you and tell you how much you're getting.

Thing is I purchased the Halo 4 Map Bundle for 25 dollars, and I was charged the Full amount.............
Converted my 1,160 MSP (about $14.50) to...well, $14.50.
.....If I STILL have to spend $5 just to have it so I can get 50 cents added to get a $15 game (mainly Ducktales Remastered), I'm gonna be annoyed. Nintendo & Sony still allow you to add the exact needed funds.
