I had a feeling it would be ready just before Thanksgiving.

I thought it was to be ready before the end of October? Oh well, is there anything else involved with the update besides the avatars?

Walker · 10-10-2008

This is the first I've heard of it, so, yeah, I guess I'll have to see. Whenever I actually get to the 360 next. Damnit. I don't seem to have any TIME now.

Think the whole dashboard is getting a huge overhaul, only feature im eagerly awaiting really is group private chat. I will see if i can fish out the list of updates and improvements later when i get home.

Thanks, I didn't know about group private chat and I had been wondering why they didn't have that yet!

Tyloric · 10-27-2008

....MII RIP OFF!

It had to be said.

I can't wait for this. From what I hear, it will be amazing. The new chat system sound phenomenal, and every other feature will definitely bring a smile to many faces.

Many people thought it and Nintendo even said they were flattered that Microsoft are going to use a similar system to them.

I actually have a friend that is part of the development team that has tested it. He told me it's not all that great. Still lacks many needed key features (like muting).
