Starmixer [Edit] [Delete] 10 replies 11:43, 6 December '11

    • 40D and YouTube

      Plus Lovefilm and others

      • yeah

        i know there are some good elements and i'll make use of them, but it's all undermined by the lack of iplayer and the fact that my wii and ps3 owning gf is going to keep laughing at microsoft for being very, very late to the party.

    • iplayer and ITV player delayed probably until next year

      apparantly they're being designed to fit in with the Xbox dashboard design rather than BBC's usual iplayer branding

      not really too bothered unless they include the download option as per the iplayer desktop

      • Sounds like a smokescreen

        for the fact that iPlayer would have been available years ago had Microsoft not kept trying to insist it would only be available to XBL Gold members.

        • yeah, that's been a big stupid argument for a while

          not sure that's the reason for this particular delay as I believe this has actually been resolved now, but maybe just too late in the day to get it implemented?

          podge @colinzealuk | 6 Dec '11, 12:43 | X
          • Probably is, yeah.

            They should just admit it's because it's taken this long to get an agreement, not give it any nonsense about design and suchlike.

  • Not really interested in this at all

    for what I use my Xbox for (i.e. playing games) it just looks like another excercise in adding extraneous features and making it more difficult than necessary for me to negotiate the menus

    would probably be a little better if you have connect and can use the voice control but in reality you'll probably only do that a couple of times for a novelty anyway

  • looking forward to giving the lovefilm

    stuff a go as i have a lovefilm account

    otherwise the redesign looks pretty cool but not too bothered about the rest, i use my xbox to play games and watch avi's that is all

    for update. Despite all of your fucking negativity, I'm looking forward to this, especially for the cloud.
