You sure they don't want a multimedia hub baked into their console? As long as it doesn't hurt the game experience in any way I'd be interested...

I think Microsoft is already filling up the 360 dashboard with advertisements (even for people who pay for Gold), so it's only a matter of time before they lose the goodwill of gamers. And if they include Kinect 2.0 with every Nextbox, then it's certainly not going to come at a cheap price.

Well, bundling Kinect 2.0 with x3ox could mean that they're cutting back on power... Or taking huge loses. But having advertisement on their dashboard is pretty sick... I find it so strange that people put up with that!! I would never buy something like that. That really reeks greedy shit.


It baffles me how many people play this up.

The dash is designed to make things easier for you to use. Which its far easier than Ps3 Linux. I use both. I guarantee Its quicker scrolling on 3600 to get where you need.

But their is 1 advert in 1 box per section. All the rest does is tell you whats new for you in each section that you can get right now.

Hell whhen you turn on the 360 your taking to the home metro tab. Where you dont have to move a single stick or button and te first thing your highlighted on is Play the game in your disc drive. Right there. Just press A. Right there. First thing. All the surrounding metro tiles have new DLC or new XLA game. Which you can click on straight away to take you to buy it. No fuss. On the games tab is your games, Games Marketplace, and some sales tabs which are shortcuts to tat months XBLA sales DLC or full games.

Its all about the user. The movie tab as new films etc. No random Quilted toilet paper adverts. Its noting like IOS which is littered with irrelevant advertising during apps. 360 dashboard is all about Xbox 360 and playing games. Its very well done.
