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.

I couldn't disagree more.

Change is something we all should be used to in the modern tech world. I mean hell i would hate to have to use the first dashboard/Website still!

Not only do I love change usually, but I live the fact that they keep improving and adding efficiency with each update.

Site is up, but slow (as they are rolling it out). It uses Silverlight, and so far I am loving it!

i also like changes..

keep things fresh, good good good :)

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.

What do you mean? The dashboard update test is being updated frequently? I'm hardly surprised that if you don't update it disconnects you, it's an online service - of course they would avoid supporting multiple versions at once.

Yes, I like the changes too, and Xbox.com was in serious need of an update. They aren't competely done yet, but I like the parts I can get to.

I see why it's not working...says they are too busy playing Halo Reach:

Uh oh... that shouldn't have happened.

It appears you've found a glitch in the system.

Sorry. We were, uh... a little bit distracted playing Halo: Reach. We will work on fixing this right away.

Did you guys confuse xbox.com - the website with Xbox 360 - the console?

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Ok I've changed my mind, I actually quite like it :3

What are you, like 80?

I have yet to be able to access the "games" section :( of My Xbox.

Also, the forums are still the same old dumpy ones.

I like the new look but it's really slow.

[Crisp]

I dislike the new friends list look.

[Ayepecks]

Love the new look and the implementation of Silverlight, but obviously it has a ton of issues at the moment.

Update from Major Nelson just now:

http://majornelson.com/archive/2010/10/19/changes-coming-to-xbox-com.aspx

The upgrade is in progress. Until it is complete, you may see some slowness, error pages (and maybe more) on Xbox.com. Thanks for your patience while the team finishes the upgrade.

[Razorwing]

I like the new look but it's really slow.

Agreed. Love the new look as well.

XBL Silver is now XBL Free? :p

It's really faster then the previous look also more neat. Like it (Y) (Y).

[Hedon]

Faster? I can't even get the darn thing to load!

working better here compared to morning. Try a hard refresh may be?

[George P Global Moderator]

I doubt that Xbox.com runs off of one datacenter, it's gotta be spread around the US and so on, so it'll be faster for some before it is for others.

Getting conflicting operation here. I just tried it in Chrome, and it's working. Tried it again in IE 8, and it's not now. IE8 gives me service not available :(

Edit: Got her to open in IE8 now.

I love the avatar editor and the music in the background :) The whole site is excellently developed and quite Metro-like, which I adore.

It didn't work in IE9 for me at all. Got stuck at live id login.

Ok, now that it's kinda working for me again, I can't send messages. Anyone else?
