Support NeoGAF

[OdysseusVA]

Yep I have 2 Xbox One's and a couple 360's (Only still use one though).

I'm beginning to see a pattern around the internets...

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Strange that Im enrolled in 360 dash betas but I'm not in this new preview program. I wonder if its because I un enrolled from the Xbox One preview program.

 

[Estocolmo]

My guess is that MS are going to port over some features that only exists on the Xbox One to Xbox 360. Basic stuff like checking your network status or having favourite friends.

 

[Kayant]

I wonder if I will get a invite from being in the past dashboard betas.

Surprised X360 will be getting this thing of support in it's life.

Waiting for the Windows 10 on 360 announcement...

Would not be surprised tbh.

 

[Dylan Sexbang]

I got an invite yesterday, but my 360 is mostly a YouTube box for my pops. Wonder if I should enroll.

 

[Toa TAK]

Eh, why not. I got the invite. I can score some achievements for some games there and at least have the knowledge that they'll actually pop.

 

[link1201]

Is there a time limit? I got the message but can't log on to my Xbox 360 until Sunday at the earliest.

 

[JoJo UK]

For those who received an invite, do you also have an Xbone?

Yep, also enrolled in the xb1 preview program. Signed up on 360, will see what happens!

If streaming from xb1 to x360 became a thing I assume they would have to add support for xb1 controllers on x360?

 

[LordOfChaos]

The 360 may change more in its death than the PS3 did in life (in terms of OS interface at least). Huh.

Sony took away a lot of lessons from the 7th gen, hope this is one of them.

I got an invite and also have an X1, I'm also in X1's preview program.

Thanks for taking the time to reply!
I wish MS would just come out with it and announce their plans

 

[c0de]

Haven't accepted the preview yet. Will check it out later.

Edit: Console is in registration process now. Console updates will follow soon.

Thanks for the reply!

 

[Gamezone]

Sounds like a waste of time. Not only for us, but for Microsoft.

 

[c0de]

Why that? I guess they still make a lot of money with the system.

 

[Bgamer90]

Not unless they have something big planned which could possibly involve the XB1.

 

[Crud]

Yeah its my main console. I play Halo 4 daily. I will probably try this out.

Like what?

Streaming to your Xbone

 

[Lazaro]

I got the 360 preview beta yesterday.

After discovering who Mister X is that Anandtech DX12 thread. I was browsing his "insider blog" and he's saying that a new 360 model is being developed that comes with double the ram and Windows 10 features. It's mainly a 360 built for multitasking from what he writes. He calls it Xbox TV.

I'm not sure how legit Mister X is but this sounds plausible.

[LithiumSpade]

Oh Microsoft. You might be terrible sometimes but as long as you keep supporting this system I can't stop giving you my money. Probably the best tech investment I've ever made.

 

[Forsythia]

So you don't need to download anything for this, right?

I only have a small change in the Marketplace, and cannot acces anything but the spotlight and downloadable games tab. On the rest of the pages it just cannot load a page. :/

 

[Bgamer90]

Xbox 360 is turning 10 years old soon.

Could MS be making some big plans to celebrate the system's 10th anniversary? Could that play a role in this preview program?

 

[Marele Viorel]

...I just got this update (2.0.17309.0) but I don't know anything about it, lol. The latest "news" is from 2013 )

 

[TheUnsunghero26]

Was there ever a reason why external drives were limited to 32gb? Other than getting you to buy the official HDDs I mean. I really hope an update gets rid of this. My Elite's 120GB drive fills up fast with all the games from gold, and it would be nice to grab a large external drive and have them all in one place.

No idea some a few of the newer games wouldn't install to the USB drives as the data rate was too slow

Same here, I only have 2.6GB left...

 

[Condemned]

Still updating a 10yr old piece of hardware? now that's some unprecedented support. I wonder how many 20gb pros are still going.

Had to repair one last week. Sounded like a jet engine haha.

 

[REDSLATE]

This is really just step one in preparing the 360 to revert back to the glory of the blades dashboard.

If only, man...

 

[hydruxo]

Played ME2 on my 360 last night and it literally sounded like a jet engine the entire time haha. Hard to go back to it.

 

[link1201]

Oh wow, I need to turn on my Xbox 360 to see if I got the update. I didn't relaize it was out already.

 

[The Real Napsta]

I wonder if they stealth raised the USB limit again.

 

[DOWN]

How much life does this thing have left? Goddayum.

Buy Rise of the Tomb Raider™ on Xbox 360 Holiday 2015

 

[The Real Napsta]

So did anyone figure out what this did?

 

[OdysseusVA]

MS raising the USB storage limit?

https://www.reddit.com/r/xbox360/comments/30mi09/next_system_update_to_increase_usb_storage_limit/

Hello everyone, I did some data mining on the latest dashboard preview files and discovered that Microsoft appears to have increased the USB storage limit from 32 GB to 128 GB.

Proof for tech-minded folks: Code in dashboard v17150: http://i.imgur.com/lQNh10s.png Code in preview dashboard v17309: http://i.imgur.com/1eMqC0A.png

Perhaps someone with the dashboard preview can confirm more, but there's a chance Microsoft has not yet updated the formatting wizard with the new size.

Thanks for reading!

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Another update available.I have a question,in this dashboard where are the indie games?Disappear from this preview?

 

[Marele Viorel]

...and just a comparison between X360 and XO:

I need to check this out tonight. It'll remind me to get my free games.

 

[Green Yoshi]

I'm expecting them to update the dashboard with 1080p support and re release the system as a tiny, $99 box to compete in the streaming space.

A portable Xbox 360 would be great, but I think your idea is more likely.

 

[Doffen]

That's what I'm expecting too (more so the latter due to apps not being behind the XBL paywall).

That and make Universal Apps compatible with it. Also make it $69 so that they price match Apple TV.

 

[jelly]

I dunno, 360 apps are so slow and a bit unresponsive. Unless they work some magic I don't think it would a great media box. At the time 360 was good and still is in some ways but UI and app performance has moved up a few notches on other devices.

What other devices are you referring to? I've recently played with an Apple TV and Fire TV Stick and Netflix on those devices didn't feel that much snappier than a 360, IMO. Of course the XB1 and PS4 feel 10x faster but given the prices and hardware that's to be expected. The Mini-360 would be positioned against the former.

I could see this working if they:

- Removed the optical drive
- Replaced the HDD with a decent amount of flash (128GB?)
- Removed the limit on external drives and incorporated USB3.0
- Doubled the RAM (512->1GB) at least. That would help it be "snappy"
- Sold it for real cheap

They could maintain BC with the 360 catalog of downloadable titles, they just wouldn't be able to utilize the extra RAM. The OS and App developers could access and use the extra RAM if available, but they couldn't count on it.
