You missed something in your story. You can now view your friends friends list from the website not just from the console.

Massive improvement. Making the most recently played list into a gamer score comparison is pretty cool.

As a web applications developer, I actually like the new site. Much cleaner. Why do I feel like I'm seeing a movement towards synergy with this??? Hmmm... MS is up to something :\

I don't really like it too much, my main complaint is the friends list. That's basically all I use Xbox.com for, that and to send messages. I usually have lots of friends online at once and I don't like having to scroll through to see them all. And I also like to check when my friends were last online, so that causes more problems having to flip through pages again. Before all I had to do was scroll down the page and check, now I have to go to FIVE different pages that each only have a handful of people each. I don't know why they would think this is better, and I really hope they change it back.

The layout looks worse imo, too cramped.

That better?

The new friend's list display has an incredibly bad design. I generally keep about 100 friends. Now my list is sprawled across 8 pages. I can't even see everyone who is online on one page.

I use xbox.com to send messages and keep up with who is online a lot, but that is going to become increasingly annoying. They better change it back. Outside of the friend's list changes, the rest of it looks pretty good. Looks like they added some functionality to managing your profile.

@ErskinPig: I met Major Nelson at the Gears of War pre-launch event at Six Flags on Halloween.

He sent me an invite because we had an email conversation about something else a few days before, and at the event he remembered me and our chat. He was incredibly genuine in person.

@skullivan:
I completely agree. I only have 33 on my friends list. I don't want to have to click "next" just to see the last few. There needs to be an option to display however many you want.
Other than that, I'm liking the layout. I didn't not like the original, but good to see they are putting their resources to good use. lol.

Now, if they could only fix the forums so you could freakin unsubscribe from threads. I am tired of seeing updates posted on threads I haven't even visited, or played the related game, in over a year.

@MeanMF:

Agreed. There should be an option to display however many you want per page. I've only got 26 people on my friends list so why would I want it split up over two pages? it was fine the way it was.

Collapse The Control — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 13:23:17 MDT

One of the many reason why I prefer 360/XBL over PS3/PSN.

I love having access to my friends when not at my TV, sending messages to them like "i'll be on by 5pm" and viewing what they are doing while still at work.

I am pretty much the only one that uses xbox.com a lot out of my friends, minus the guys I met through xbox.com.

Seanchaen — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 13:17:46 MDT

I'll probably get used to it. I like the scrolling games bit in the center that compares you and your friends.

On the other hand, I miss not having exactly which achievements I most-recently obtained on the front page (yes, I'm a slight achievements whore).

The new friends list SUCKS. They made is so that instead of displaying the whole list on one page, you can now only see 16 per page. You have to click through page by page to see them all.

Evil J — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 12:32:55 MDT

PS3 owner here... like it a lot.

Reason I added that first part was that one of my primary gripes about the 360 when I borrowed one for a week was that I didn't like the way Live looked and thought it was too cluttered with mostly unecessary information.

This looks much cleaner with more relevant stuff fast at hand.

Nice job.
