Forums - Microsoft Discussion - New Xbox 360 Dashboard Update coming soon?!?

I'm not sure how this hasn't been covered anywhere yet (that I've seen).  I'm guessing the new dashboard will launch alongside Kinect and from the brief look at it, I quite like it.

Am I the only one that noticed the different layout and dashboard design they showed with the Kinect stuff?

Not just this:

But also this:

When do you think we will hear more about this update and what it will include?  There was no talk of the HULU rumor at E3, so maybe it will be confirmed later on as part of this new update.

What are your thoughts?  Does the new color scheme among other things look interesting to you?

I do like the looks of the new dashboard, it was something I was really impressed with by the conference. I know the dashboard update will include:

  • New Kinect layout
  • ESPN
  • Netflix update (adding to your instant queue from the Xbox, without having to use the computer and access to the whole instant library with search function)

I'm sure more will be included, but those are what I'm looking forward to the most.

No way we don't need one, why MS?

It doesn't look like that big a change.  At least not as big as the transition from the "blades" style to the NXE.  It's just a fresh coat of paint.



Yeah I can't wait....I love big updates like this for Xbox Live.  I'm really excited about ESPN especially since I don't have cable.

Yes the espn update is what i am looking forward to the most also, just wish it would have come a few weeks ago....world cup and all. Beats watching espn on my computer, or should anyway. 

The whole above post is assuming that it is what shows on espn.com. 



  Kinect! who needs video games!

but i just got used to this one...... =(



Playstation All-Stars is one of the best games I've played this gen, and is the most fun I've had in a game this gen.

I thought you were going to have a date on this update. How soon? coming when? lol



I must say I never really liked the style of the Xbox 360 dashboard, I think it looks a bit childish (especially since the avatars came). It's no big deal, but stylewise I definitely prefer the PS3's XMB.

You can already add to your instant queue from the 360...



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.
