Default Xbox 360 getting ENTIRE new look come Fall


Microsoft is completely re-designing the Xbox 360 dashboard come this fall, it will feature a sort of "Mii-Clone" which can be used in some games.

It will also feature 3D slides, a major upgrade from the current dashboard.

From what I can see it that screenshot, it looks pretty naff. The blades look so much better IMO.

I'm disappointed you didn't watch the conference yourself I myself prefer the blade as it seems to allow for more customization as well as I'm not a huge fan of the new Avatar system.

It's very bland and they didn't demo it much besides the new features (avatar, primetime, etc.).

I wish I had... but I had no idea it was happening. Just goes to show how aware I am of anything half decent going on.

It looks great IMO, much more sleeker than the current dashboard. It is inspired by Media Centre i guess.

I actually don't think it looks that bad. I love the blades interface though, so not sure if I'll like being forced to use this, but we'll see how it goes. I won't knock it too bad until I at least try it out.

I don't like it. You should have a choice between the two layouts.

Well, I hate to say it, but they kind of did. Although, I could give less than 2 sh*ts about FF XIII, especially since it's going to be nothing but fanboy fodder for douchebag JRPG snobs.

But that Netflix announcement alone made my freakin' day.

If by free you mean requiring having a $50 subscription to live, then an additional subscription to netflix, them yes "free".

Anyway, Ive been thinking after selling my 360 for a ps3, to rebuy one and get a cheap one off ebay. This update might further motivate me, especially the ful game installs.

I dont really understand the full game installs, whats the point of installing your game to your harddrive if you still need the disc?

I think you do. Unless I'm mistaken, you still need to have your disc in the tray to verify you own the game.

It's not the fans that are so loud, it's the DVD drive. That's why it's not that loud when you play XBLA games.

What is this gonna mean for people who actually payed for themes for the old dashboard? Money gone now? Good thing I don't waste my point on the themes.
