I'm very excited for this update :yes:

[popisdead uk]

It looks good. It's almost too good to be true! I've wanted rid of the dashboard for so long!!

[tomwarren Veteran]

Looks crap to me :s

Nice video, I can not wait for this update!

The video was more of the same but I can't complain about the update though.

I just decided to post it in the right topic -

I wonder what the new interface will look like when you hit the xbox360 button during gameplay?

[LiGhTfast]

Dash background could be a bit more fancier tbh with some nice transitions and better colour. The old xbox1 dash was pretty cool

[Malechai1]

looks fancy but they're really good at wasting space/screen real estate

[giga Veteran]

Hate it. It may be more friendly, but the design isn't efficient at all.

Well i'm excited. So much fresher, love the community section aswell... I can imagine live feeling more 'lively' now. though 1 thing i've not really noticed.. where are all the ads like the blades interface has? hope they dont go adding them later.

Probably that small blade system shown during the presentation and all over the forums.

I'm not sure how we can comment purely on efficiency yet as far as I know, nobody here from Neowin has used it. It still also has 4-6 months before a release, so I wouldn't doubt they are going to leave it as is.

Hmmm, I gotta say despite my previous statement, that is beautiful (Y)

[bruNo_]

w0000t!

it's amazing dude, can't wait to update mine.

btw, any date was already revealed for this update?

[acnpt]

Doubt it'll be coming to the UK anytime soon...

Would really love to have the netflix support, maybe lovefilm would join up or something.

[Ayepecks]

Wow, that looks much better in HD than it did on TV.

Doubt it'll be coming to the UK anytime soon...

''This fall''

Like all the other quarterly updates for 360 :)

Like all the other quarterly updates for 360 :)

You have to take that with a grain of salt like I mentioned in another thread. If it is typical MS, expect it 1 day before the first day of winter. :D

[Shadrack]

different is good...sometimes. i was hoping to see a demo of a new media player UI.

Yeah, to be honest don't really care about the dash, would just rather the online films.

[Dirk]

Looks good.

[Berserk87]

i dont like it.

it looks fine, but the avatars look "Wii Ish" would be awesome if it was more like elder scrolls character customizing.

it also gives me a ps3 layout kinda feel.

[what]

Looks alright. Problem is I'm usually playing a game or watching a video while I'm on my Xbox so the eye candy is pointless - just like it is in Vista.

Shame they got a narrator who keeps raising the pitch of his voice at the end of each sentence as if he was constantly asking questions, but without the question structure. That annoys me to no end.

EDIT: ok, so he does it for random words, not just at the end of sentences. For goodness sake, just talk properly lol.
