Thats really enough really to get a good view of it. They will release more videos and screenshots in the weeks to come and i'm positive my opinion on it won't change. Unless they change stuff from now till then i'm not happy with it. I don't want the avatar shit ether. I just like the dashboard the way it is now. I understand they want to change stuff but to be honest they should give you an option to use the old one or the new one. It just looks like they are copying something but its not working out so well.Poseidon wrote:

Yes that. I like that. Everything is organized to were I know whats what... The new one adds stuff I really don't want and don't have a choice to have it on my box.
M$ is starting to act like Sony and started putting in shit THEY think we want...
Edit: However I do like the loading of the games on the HDD though. Because the DVD ROM sounds like a jet...

2) You don't have to use Avatars IIRC, you can still use gamerpics.

Well its not and early build because it will be out this fall like they said but they still have time to listen to the people. I'm kind of curious because of what happened with EA and BF:BC. But, then again this is M$ we are talking here.Poseidon wrote:

I really have nothing to say about the second comment.
for the record ps3 had in game xmb first.
Actually, the 360 has had the in-game guide since release if I'm not mistaken.Miggle wrote:

...it doesn't take that much time to make a new build and adjust things, Naturn. Plus, now they know what the public thinks, and will change it accordingly (hopefully).Naturn wrote:

How do you even get this dashboard, and is it free?
The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.
The old one was butt ugly.
The new one isn't great, but better.
So, yay!

Is it out already or do we wait for it?
You wait for the new one.
wow I need to hook up XBL and get that it looks cool
The new one looks like a badly flawed XMB.
i aint being biased here
but the XMB looks a hell of alot easier to navigate by the look of that dashboard

The new style Dashboard looks interesting. Don't flame it based on a short video and images that is only showing off its looks. Aside from the Gameshows which I will decide on when MS put any form of pricetag on them, the new Dashboard looks great The new avatars look interesting too..
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!If you don't like the look of the new Xbox 360 Dashboard unveiled at E3 last week, then "you don't actually have to use it," says Microsoft's Xbox Live director of programming Larry 'Major Nelson' Hryb.
According to The Major, every single function available in current 360 backend will be included in the new, clean-looking Dash', which you can bypass completely if you choose.
"I know that there are some people that aren't going to like the happy, happy, shiny New Xbox Experience. For whatever reason it's not flipping their bit," Hryb said in his latest podcast.
"Here's my message to you: you don't actually have to use it. You can never go there, just leave your game disc in and pretty much do everything that you could before but on the Guide level - one button press away in every single game."
Sounds excellent to us. Even more good news for New Xbox Experience haters comes in the form of Avatars, and how you don't have to use them. "If you don't like the avatars, they're not required. You can use your Gamer Pictures," said Hryb in the podcast. "Your existing and Gamer Pictures and Themes still work," adds co-host 'e'.
