I hate the new dashboard, I will grow used to it as I had NXE which I didnt like either. My main problem is I bought my XBOX to be a gaming device, not an all in 1 wonderdevice. The system may have been like this before but it feels that it is way more in my face. Of the 7 tabs and 40 odd panels/features I will only be using about 5(plus all of the administration tab). There is no app that I look forward to. I wish I could edit the main page to have launch, friends, netflix and XBL store. That is all I need.
Netflix is a mess too and everything top to bottom is slower on both my XBOX fat and slim. I wish you could edit the frontend to not include pictures of the movies I scroll over. I did see subtitles option on a movie for the first time though, I have not see a movie that supported it before but it may be coincidence.
Truth is I am a 30 year old gamer and I dont think the update was aimed at my age group. I dont have a facebook or see a reason to own a smartphone and Twitter is fucking retarded. Im old and the new dashboard is full of shit that is for the 16-25 crowd. Its something I will have to get more and more used to as time passes.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
