Hi, I was wandering which differences are between the standard Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition theme and the Premium one for the Xbox 360 dashboard... I just bought the Premium one and it's very nice.. Is the standard one the same one with less detail/quality or is it a different one?

Bagge · 07/16/2009, 05:07 pm

The standard one is just a few background images. The premium one is (as the title implies) a lot better.

With dashboard themes, the standard ones are just a couple of background images but the premium ones change the look of your friends list in that it puts a selection of objects/characters which the avatars of your friends stand next to.

I'm currently using the Sam & Max Season 1 premium theme, but might have a look at the SMI:SE one.

I see.. so once you buyed the Premium theme, the other one is useless.. Thanks for the help!

This might be the first Premium Theme I actually buy. I like the idea of Monkey Island goodness in my xbox background.

Yeah, it's the first one I've bought.

I see from people's previews that the "main" background is just a plain blue, which seems a bit dull.

I think I'll stick with my free 1 vs 100 premium theme, though both this and the Sam and Max ones look somewhat tempting.

Ugh, I downloaded the regular theme before I noticed the premium theme...oh well I might go for it anyway.

Jerec84 · 07/17/2009, 05:49 am

I was thinking I'd get it if it was 200 points or less. 240 though... uh. I have 1000 currently, and 800 is a good number to have when I want stuff. 240 would make it all uneven.

I just got it, watch a video of it on YouTube if you're unsure, I'm happy with the theme though, NO CHARACTERS, just backgrounds from the game and items.

I have the premium one but have no friends on Xbox

The main picture of the standart one is much better, but without the friendlist addon its not worth it. In the premium one, the friendlist is really cool, but the main background is boring, so no deal for me.
