My apologies, you are correct after checking, it seems the download game save feature is on Unleash X.
and it works very well may i add. Thanks bdto for pointing this out. I hope this also helps people that cant decide which dashboard to go with
i say after looking at this feature Unleash X does deserve a higher score
but the only reason why i cant personally give it a 5 is because i would have to put it next to the mammoth that xbox media center is.Although definitely Unleash X is one of the great dashboards out there
Hey, that's cool, no apologies necessary. Just doing my bit to help.
IMHO, it's almost unfair to compare any "regular" dash like EvoX or UnleashX to XBMC. The way I see it, your dashboard is more of a utility or operating system, used for launching programs, playing with settings, copying discs or files, etc. XBMC, on the other hand, is more like a media player that happens to have some dashboard functions on the side. I may be wrong, but the "My Programs" part of XBMC is probably the simplest part of its operation: all it's doing is launching another application. It's the media playback, especially the video, that makes XBMC so much more than "just another dashboard". That, and the Project Mayhem skin - so professional and sharp, it's almost scary.
Now you know why I keep both UnleashX and XBMC on my hard drive. I like UX for it's simplicity and speed for normal, everyday tasks and basic system maintenance. However, I did edit the config.xml to put XBMC at the top level, right below "Games". I also have XBMC as a quicklaunch item (hold down a button while UnleashX boots to auto-start).
They both deserve seriously high scores; I just think of them as being in separate categories.
