E3 08: Don't like the new 360 dashboard? This video might change your mind by Grim on 07.15.2008 I'll come right out and say it: when the new Xbox 360 dashboard was unveiled during Microsoft's press conference yesterday, I wasn't really feeling the drastic change in design. Yes, it's much prettier, more user-friendly, and contains some sweet new community features and Netflix integration, but it's so radically different from the current dashboard which I've grown to love over the years. That (and the silly avatars) was my biggest concern about the upcoming update, until I saw the walkthrough video above. Anyone who currently owns an Xbox 360 should be happy to know that the brand new Xbox guide looks almost exactly like today's dash, so you shouldn't have any navigation problems come this fall. Click to see video, it will change your mind |

looks ok, if you ask me the community channel is like ps3's home. but that's just my take on it.

Movie anyone ? I wonder if we both would have to download it at the same time. Since its like were sitting next to one another on the couch no need to buy 2 copies is there  Bet them boys at Microsoft didn't think of that. |

the movie thing will be with the instant access to Netflix. one person has to have the account & then it goes though the party. nothing to download. plus i seen another showing online of the netflix movie access & that shit looks pretty clear to me.

I think it has too many options and newbies might get lost in the navigation. can't wait...

I think the options will be less confusing because they are going to apply to a certain portal not a whole system. If you are at Games portal options will only apply to Games. On pic sharing portal options only apply to that Portal and so forth, At least thats what I gathered from the presentation.

I just watched the video on the dashboard and it said up to 8 person parties WITH CHAT! FINALLY!!!!
But there aren't many games that you can play with 8 people at a time. And the only game that we all play consistently that supports that is COD4. Other than that, for right now, I think it's just hype on that aspect. No real functionality except for movies watching, which is pretty cool.
The interface itself looks smooth and a lot better than the blades in my opinion. Looking forward to it.

So only one person has to have Netflix in order for "The group" to watch a movie ? Seems like they would lose money like that.
