George P Global Moderator Posted October 19, 2010 Global Moderator Share Posted October 19, 2010 In order to prepare for these changes, starting at 0500 ET/0200 PT/0900 GMT on October 20th (tomorrow) Xbox.com and the Xbox forums will be offline and unavailable for a short period of time. When it returns, you?ll see the new site. Here's some preview shots of the new layout. My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oceanmotion Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Very clean, matching the new dashboard. I see avatar customisation as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alladaskill17 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Wow those screenshots look nice. I like the way they're moving with that design. Does this coincide at all with the Dashboard update (I think I read about that lol) when is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisp Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Much better design IMO, better than the drop down box in the top left corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bioran Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Microsoft has been doing great with website designs lately. (Seen the new XNA/MSDN App Hub?) Now if only they can revamp their homepage to fit their cleaner and more modern image... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoLiMiT06 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Very nice, much cleaner than the current layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oceanmotion Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Just went to the forums, not linked to this update. Finally, they don't list every game, forum on the same page. What fool thought that was a good idea. Took an age to load before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedon Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 The new website looks totally awesome! Now, update the old crap forums please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the better twin Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Hopefully they wont use too much silverlight like the zune site forcing me to switch back and forth between my 64bit ie9 because they havent bothered releasing a 64bit version of silverlight yet.

Elliott Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Much cleaner and nicer! Looking forward to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Love the new layout. Honestly, I'm probably going to get called a fanboy, but I don't care -- I love the entire Metro simplicity that Microsoft seems to be going across all platforms. I think it's brilliant, personally -- good use of colors, fonts, shapes, and easy navigation. Seems Microsoft is finally realizing the former shortcomings of its products. (To be fair, I never thought the old Xbox.com was horrendous, it just wasn't all that great.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am with you 100% on the design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr aldo Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Never really went to Xbox.com much, but from what I can remember, this looks a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoLiMiT06 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 nice.. so when is the Dashboard update? Most likely right before the Kinect launch or the day of launch. So the beginning of November most likely :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Gibs Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Looks pretty dam good, and you can finally customize your avatar from the website! Maybe they'll even throw in custom gamerpics! Nah that would be asking for too much :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedon Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I usually visit the My Xbox section only. I used to visit the Forums, but they aged poorly and are cumbersome. I gave up on those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupcakes Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Glad they added support for being able to edit the avatar via the web. Not that I change it all the time or anything :shifty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted October 19, 2010 Veteran Share Posted October 19, 2010 I am going to miss the old dash & website, I much prefer it over the new ones :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_onion Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Most likely right before the Kinect launch or the day of launch. So the beginning of November most likely :) On the UK inside xbox they said october 26th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Matthew S. Subscriber² Posted October 20, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted October 20, 2010 Jesus looks like the AppHub on MSDN... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo003 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Seriously I'm tired of the update, the damn thing want to update In the middle of the game and if you say no it disconnects you WTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George P Global Moderator Posted October 20, 2010 Author Global Moderator Share Posted October 20, 2010 Jesus looks like the AppHub on MSDN... It seems MS is slowlly moving all their stuff to more or less the same UI/layout over time. Which is fine by me as long as they look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozgeek Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Ohhh here we go. changing for the sakes of changing. Xbox360 has had gone through 3 dashboard updates, yet the classic xbox only had one dash. Design a dash and interface and stick with it! Stop changing all the time.
