Default Does anyone else think...

...that the official Xbox 360 web site (www.xbox360.com) is a pain in the ***? The navigation is too difficult, plus there really isn't any textual information at all! It's a waste of time. Why couldn't they just have made the 360 website like the original Xbox site? Why complicate things?

It's like a game - explore it and learn it. If you can't handle that site, maybe games aren't your thing?!

There's nothing to be learned! In concept it is a cool design, but it provides no real information, and wasn't even updated after the pricing information was announced.

And games are my thing, I've played them nearly all my life.

The site is a little frustrating it's a cool concept and the navigation is OK but it takes forever to load and it doesn't contain any useful information all the stuff on that site has been known for months.

I totally agree with the original poster. The site is way weird, and I hate going to it because it gives me absolutely no useful information whatsoever. Then again, I freakin hate the xbox.com forums. The site isn't too bad, although there's like way too much going on.

Anyhow, yea, agreed...the Xbox360 website absolutely blows.

only thing i thought was cool was that since it was flash you could look at the faceplates on the 360 and you could look at that one page where you can turn the 360 and the controller around to look at them

I don't mind it. It's kind of cool to explore around and see what cool stuff they have there, I've just accepted the fact that it's not a 360 news site, I go here and to TNG for that.

Default yup i agree

very stupid, it trys to be original, but falls incredibly short, barely updated often and very hard to navigate. no relevant info.

I'm not sure if you noticed but xbox360.com is more a teaser site than anything. Xbox.com is still the main hub and no the company websites are often last to have new info on them, don't flame it for that it's an awesome concept for a site and if say this site or teamxbox.com was in that layout you'd probably like it more than you do. you're mad because it's not updated much even for a company site but it's not meant to be The Offical Xbox 360 News Site : We Get News First, it is most definitely an original site and as far as teaser sites go ( www.gearsofwar.com) it's better than most. I don't disagree that it is that it should be more looked after but, it still looks cool, and it loads fast for me!

I believe the website is just fine,whats so difficult? you look and read for what you need its like any other website where you have to look for things and browse to find what you want i have no complaints, the website is made verywell easy to read and search so what your complaining about.
