Xbox 360 dashboard tweak adds insult to injury a year after the shutdown of the classic marketplace: would you like to buy an Xbox Series X instead?
All I really want are my beloved blades back

If you boot up your Xbox 360 today - yours is still hooked up, right? - you might notice a slight change on the dashboard, fixing an old visual glitch and adding a two-paneź¦l į¦suggestion that you might want to upgrade to an Xbox Series X. A year after the original 360 marketplace shut down, it honestly just feels like salt in the wound.
The change was noted by players earlier this week, and brought to wider attentiāon by . I fired up my 360 earlier to confirm and - after a surprisingly difficult process trying to sign online - found that sure enough, the dashboard swaps over to a new configuration the second the console touches the internet.

The notion that 澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:Microsoft can't support game purchases on the old console but can still drop you an occasional ad for their new machines… Well, it's understandable in an objective sense, but it just feels bad, maš¹n.
The dashboard change does come with one nice benefit, though, as the box art that shows on the primary game launch button is no longer alāl stretched. Score one for clean UI, but if anybody at Microsoft is listening, I gotta tell you… I need the original 360 blades back so bad. Please. One last gesture of goodwill for the truly nostalgic. Just let me go back to the original dashboard. For old tiāmes' sake?
