Have they managed to cram even more adverts in?

I've heard it's disappointing and that they've managed to ruin netflix.
This is what I've heard. Yet to experience it for myself. I hope it's not that bad. I've come to really enjoy using my xbox as a media center. Guess I'll be checking out Roku and Apple TV if it's true.
- I see no problem with it. The UI is different but thats about itiheartfun

Every time i read the words "Metro Interface" in the Engadget review I want to punch a baby in the mouth.

A lot more commands for the Kinect; for both the dashboard and netflix.

Live was giving me all sorts of problems last night when I was trying to update. Kept disconnecting me from xblive service... content wouldn't update.. etc.
Will try again this evening but the things i'm most excited about are the premium 'channels' you get access to - UFC, HBO, xfinity on demand, etc
- oiishi0
HBO? ok that's kinda cool
- iheartfun0
looks like all the premium channels as long as you subscribe to them through your tv provider you just get them

The whole plan of the xbox from day 1 was to get a box under the TV to sell video content and adverts through. Games were just a means to an end which they never really cared about.
- lol, that is no doubt a gross exaggeration.set
- I'm not against them trying to make money. I just want a nice UI for what I once hoped would replace my cable box.jtb26
- set, we'll see. The next Xbox wont be marketed as gaming console first. Calling it now.animatedgif
