4+ minute Walkthrough of the upcoming 360 Dashboard Update

[»X«]

I was rather taken back when within minutes of the video he stated that the avatar idea was "innovative". Not really. Its nice its coming, but its hardly innovative.

Im not so keen on this update really, take it with a pinch of salt. If like me, you have 0 friends on xbox and dont have a netflicks subscription, then straight away alot of these features will be lost. But I remain optimistic, I really do. Proove me wrong Microsoft!

For those of you hating on the new system, get this:

"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.

"The Dashboard as you know it today, in other words the 'blades'; Games, Live, Media and System," The Major explained, "We've taken those blades and moved them to the Guide. Every single function that you can do today in the Dashboard you are going to be able to do in the New Xbox Experience in the Guide.

"When you press the Guide button on the Xbox 360 controller, the new Guide will come up and you're going to be able to do everything in there. You're going to be able to contextually browse Marketplace, did you know that? So when you have Gears of War 2 of Halo 3 in there you're going to be able to go straight to that section."

^ Yea, it seems they have really revamped the Guide button and made it that much more powerful. Great stuff! (Y)

I hate to potentially start a fanboy war, but it kinda takes "ingame XMB" and slaps it about a bit, haha.
