New Forza games rarely get more than 30% discount and now Horizon 3 is having a 40% discount. GET IT.

Yup this is what I've been waiting for 50% of the Ultimate Edition :D Glad it's on offer this week as I've been really in the mood for some more Forza Horizon  I had been playing FH2 instead and clearing up the online achievements instead :P

UI does look a bit better, but they'd do well to realize that one thing most people like above even improvements (at least once a thing works well to begin with) is familiarity. If you just keep overhauling shit all the time, people are very likely to get annoyed, because they just got comfortable with the last update. At some point you gotta stick to minor touch ups.

Yeah, I have a hard time having to constantly adapt and get used to the new layouts myself.



Nice Deadliest Warrior on BC :D



Looks like MS is also adding a white theme to the dashboard later this year. Its optional though so that's good.



Batman Arkham Origins is a nice addition.

urrent Home screen

 

I look a little quick copy and past job over the major Nelson image of the Home page and how Im think it Should actually look. To much of the screen is currently "dead space" so to speak and could be filled with  much more usefull information.

Current Home screen

My copy and paste job of that I want it to be :)

- Your games & apps tile along with you last 11 played games or apps for even easier access to them.
- The Game Image and name that currently takes up the entire top half of the screen could be moved to where I drew the red box  to stop it taking up half the Home page.
- I'm happy with the deals with gold tab/a sponsored game pre-order ad or link to a currently ongoing sale.
I have it set so I just press down once and it takes you to the Pins area but seeing your recent games in 3x4 square would be so good for me as I wouldn't hardly need to browse through all my games and apps and get into games I play regularly nice and fast.
In a way I think if you got used to things the new Guide has basically everything on that you would probably never have to use the Home page to access stuff.


Personally, I enjoy when MS updates the UI. Each big update is an improvement over the last and I expect this to be no different.

It looks more like the 360's UI which is cool with me.

Would liik better if you reversed the current or last played with the stuff to the left. The stuff to the left can be pins. Like this.

Since it's about "customization" they should let you decide which side you have played/pins at :P
