Microsoft's problems with the new dashboard continue.
As the new dashboard for the Xbox 360 is introduced to millions of gamers, some changes are upsetting users. IGN is reporting that the Party feature in the Netflix app is no longer there. This feature used to allow Xbox Live subscribers to hang out with their friends' Avatars while watching a movie or show on Netflix. Microsoft offered this statement about the feature's removal:
Enjoy the extra goodies!
The 3DS update is now available to all 3DS owners. This is the update promised by Nintendo to be released in November, so it may be late, but now your 3DS can do so much more.
Nathan Drake can retire at any point now.
Uncharted 3 has had impressive sales numbers since its release and we now have some details about the numbers the series has sold as a whole. The Uncharted franchise, since its start in 2007, has shipped over 13 million copies worldwide. This makes the series one of the most popular new IPs of the console generation.
The new update was a shaky one.
The rollout of the new Xbox 360 Dashboard has been rough. After being delayed until late last night, various problems have been reported by Xbox 360 users. Microsoft's Major Nelson stated on his twitter account that Microsoft is working on fixing the problems users are having. As of now, it appears that most, if not all of the issues have been resolved.
Set to release today, the new Dashboard is now TBD.
Major Nelson sent a tweet earlier this morning at 7 AM in regards to the new Xbox Dashboard update that was scheduled to be released. The tweet goes as follows: "FYI: The timing for Xbox 360 dashboard update has been slightly delayed. I’ll have a status update later today."
YouTube and TV providers missing the update's launch.
The big Xbox 360 fall dashboard update is finally coming out tomorrow and I personally blame my OCD tendencies for being so excited for it. Announced this year at E3 2011, the update includes Bing searching, YouTube, Live TV and EPIX, among other features. A UFC app was also announced but we know that it's been delayed to December 20 instead of its original date of December 1. Now it seems that the dashboard update will be missing a lot of the announced apps, at least at launch.
Wasn't it supposed to be better?
Some new specs have been released about the Wii U console Nintendo announced this past E3. Since the convention, details have been sparse and little has been revealed. However, an unnamed Japanese developer who is allegedly porting a PlayStation 3 game to the console has leaked out these details about the console's internal power. Nintendo has not officially announced anything yet so this is only speculative at the moment.
