| CDiablo said: 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. |
Everything you mentioned can be launched from the main Home page, besides friends(which is only one tab to the right). To get to the game marketplace from your home all you do is go to the big tile in the middle and use the right anolog stick until there is a picture of Batman:AC and it says, "Dive into game marketplace". That same big tile can launch you to the Zune marketplace as well. Netflix can be launched from the quickplay tile in the bottom left. I've been a beta tester so I know the ins and outs of this new dashboard and I'm telling you it's much faster than the previous one.
