Looks like the XMB but with pictures. I honestly don't care what it looks like since I spend about 0.1% of my time on the Xbox on the dashboard.

All those ads? How dare they try to sell content that they are providing. Lady Ga Ga in the music section what were they thinking. Hulu Plus and netflix in the apps section....just greedy...movies in the movie section...unbelievable. How dare they expect us to buy stuff off of their store?

Looks better than the one we currently have. If anything is worth complaining about, it was the original change back in 2008.

That's the Kinect update. Should be okay. I only use Kinect for searching and Netflix (which it is really awesome for), but It has neat functionality for that.

I wish I could just have one tab with my games library and a link to the games marketplace, because that's all I do on the dash.

I'm the same way. All updates are no big deal IMO. But I will always have a place in my heart for the blades.

Looks fine to me, but it does look very similar to Sony's XMB. You know that a lot of the Lems who had nothing but terrible things to say about XMB are going to praise this change like it's the second coming.

Seriously? There's more cluster now than the update shows. The tab the picture was taken on was the marketplace, so it's advertising new songs/albums.

Again I say..... Seriously?

I wonder why MS feels like it needs to redesign the dashboard every couple years instead of securing exclusives.

lol looks like the PS3 background! Which is a good thing because I always felt that the PS3 background was better and easier to navigate than the Xbox dashboard.

I think it looks pretty slick but perhaps a little too Kinect-focused.

It looks more like the way they are going with Windows 8 and Windows Phone 7. Which, I like.

Those ads are actually useful. They tell you about new games or movies that are now available in the Marketplace, hardly annoying. Now ads that have nothing to do with Xbox 360 (or gaming in general) such as McDonalds or Winbmobile, those are annoying.

The current "Metro" dash is the only I haven't liked. I find it pretty ugly, so I can't wait till this dashboard update comes out.

The main thing I can't wait for in this update is the cloud feature so that I don't have to have to recover my gamertag every time I go to my cousin's house.

I know right? Car, slim jim, tmobile, shaving cream and razor advertisements in the game game section. The nerve of a company to use their platform to allow other companies to advertise their completely unrelated products. :|
