You spent 30 mins just arseing around with the dashboard? Why not stick a disk in and have a game - it's much more fun and leaves time for interacting with the world afterwards!

Crikey is this it then? The moment when the console does become more important than the games? Time to take up tennis or golf if it is...

You don't *need* to do that though. You can play a game perfectly fine without ever noticing the update has occured is the point.

It's quite a nice refresh I think. Takes a little getting used to, and I know how people HATE doing that. But it's a useful update to IMO a not very important part of the console.

I mean ffs - you don't even see it if you boot up a disk!

I was taught this about 4 years ago on my personal trainer qualification.
This can not be the first research to come to this conclusion.
