Gears of War Dashboard Backgrounds



In other words Xbox360 wallpaper or the bit what goes behind your 360's blades, and you pay microsoft points for. Only drawback is with this method your stuck with the same image on every page, still a small sacrifice for a freebie.

I also hear what your saying "why the blocky black bit?" beleive me I understand your pain, it's been added to ensure those with widescreen format get the image properly displayed, if its causing a problem on your TV format just lop it off in any image program.

Click images for dashboard size,

So how do you get them on your 360 then? well there's the long way
see the following
Setting your xbox 360 wallpaper
Themes? where the heck are they?

or simply plug in a USB flash memory stick into your PC and you can copy files from it to your Xbox hard drive and set them as the background of your dashboard. Unfortunately you'll have the same image across each blade, unlike the official xbox360 themes.

Xbox 360 November Dashboard Update what's in it?

Full list on the Xbox.Com page, apart from the obvious Wireless Racing Wheel and HD DVD Player support, I can't wait to mess around with:

Stream WMV video from a Windows PC running Windows Media Player 11, Zune software, or Windows Media Connect, finally streaming video!! Play video from storage devices such as USB flash drives, Xbox 360 Memory Units, etc.

Added DVD/Video skip controls, time elapsed and remaining and picture format

Improved voice chat quality in Xbox Dashboard and in-game chats

Improved look and feel in Xbox Live Marketplace and Xbox Live Arcade areas.Revamped category listings for (not a moment too soon)

Eradicating the 20 cents a gamer picture embarassment would have been a nice little touch Mr.Microsoft but hey there's always Christmas!! we can live in hope.

Update from our intrepid field reporter Deitrix, a small minority of people (according to Microsoft) may have a wee tiny problem after downloading, your 360 wont' boot up. Forums are reporting it's affecting only a small percentage of 360'ers full details from IGN... Microsoft engineers are on it, and should have a fix within 24 hours. thanks Deitrix!
