I believe they should just let people choose the interface they want and leave it at that.

I was happy with 360's first interface, the Blades. I thought it looks great, MS should have sticked with it.

MS isn't good with consoles, huh? They should leave. If they want to stay, they should at least produce something useful and keep gamers content.

Fvck Kinect.

Cross connectivity is something I never used. No use for me.

Yes, I've hooked my PSP up with PS3 and I failed to see anything useful about it. Just sharing photos, videos and some stuff. That's it.

Again, there are times when I hook my phone up with my PC to drop some photos.

What Wasdie was talking about is the possibility of an app in Windows 8 which allows you to connect to your Xbox console. I fail to see the need for media on a console. It's a gaming console, so what is the point of the stupid connectivity and media? Leave them to PC.

People are using consoles for different reasons. Even some are using Internet browser on a console (lol).

I never used media on consoles. Just for gaming. There's a PC for media. Hell, PC can be used for superior gaming. You can do EVERYTHING on PC.

[QUOTE="freedomfreak"] You're one of those people that still believes consoles are just for gaming. They're not. They're multimedia entertainment systems. Just like phones aren't just for calling anymore. Technology moving forward.freedomfreak

Oh yes, being able to watch DVD and BD movies on consoles is useful. I do that all the time on our PS3 downstairs, we're using it as a DVD/BD player. But I never used photos on it.

[QUOTE="mems_1224"]ugh, i really hate metro and how the current dashboard is. its so slow and uglyfreedomfreak

[QUOTE="ShadowMoses900"]

[QUOTE="delta3074"]i agre with the part about not being able to see my theme properly, i fail to see the point in even buying themes for the 360 anymore, But aprt form that the UI is ok, I't faster and everythings bigger which is Very good for seriously visually impaired people like my 7 year old daughter, AS For MS following SONY's UI that ain't ever gonna Happen, the Xbox dashboard has to be the way it is so you can use Kinect with it, you would not be eable to ise Kinect with a Ps3 style UI.GamerwillzPS

Seem this before?

WTF whats going on at microsoft? they are updating the dashboard every 2-4 months now:?

Are people this stupid? Your crying about ads during the VIDEO section where streaming happens? Your crying about Ads in the GAMING section when its showing new game releases and DLC's? To even b1tch about this is ridiculous, they don't get in the way and they actually are helpful at times in telling you new releases... sSubZerOo

Are you kidding me? No way. The same people who complain about this would not expect to see the ads/previews in theaters. They would not expect to have ads/previews from their cable TV/Direct TV services and on Blu-ray movies. They would not expect to see ads in the news paper. They would not expect to see ads in puplic transportions. You know, they all are living in a fantasy world rather then ours.

I don't care, just gimme a powerful Xbox w/ much better specs, I'm tired of dinosaur hardware, this gen has gone on too long and is holding back my beautiful PC games (cough BF3)-RocBoys9489-

Why do they change it so god damn much?aaronmullan

any one rememember when they sneak peaked the new dashboard and charlie sheen's tried to claim Microsoft was copying the XMB some how?
how they were assured it was the metro interface and microsoft was trying to have a similiar interface accross all devices...

TC:

it's 110% fact for last 6 months that microsoft want ALL of their systems running the same basic OS and look around the same and connect to each other

They said this them selfs

This just in; New Xbox will use a Windows 8-style interface that you can navigate with a revolutionary touchscreen controller.

It will require mandatory installs with adds from Old Spice during each install. BUH-BAH-BUM-BAH-BUM-BAH-BOW-BOW!

To keep costs low for the consumer, it's kept generally the same hardware as the Xbox (since the OS is so fancy), except for more RAM.

Since Bluray Disc Drives aren't standard in PC's yet, Microsoft will utilize DVD's again to help keep costs down.

Just remember: MS isn't the company that has patented the use of In game advertising and has a rumor swirling to utilize said ads....

In this case, I see them wanting everything to be uniform with Windows 8. The Windows phone have the same exact type of interface as well.

The Xbox will get an update to bring it in line with Windows 8 and Windows Phone as they create a familiar eco system. Its really not a lot to imagine. I would like to see an xbox thats built to last 5 years in terms of graphic fidelity and of course reliability. It would make sense for it to be compatible with either RT or x86 apps from the windows stores and to use skydrive for game saves etc.. The maximum cash price I think they could sell the new console for would be £329 (UK pounds) and thats for the premium model.

K.

I have zero problems with the "Metro" UI on Windows 8 or the Metro-esque current dashboard design.

[QUOTE="Wasdie"]

Makes sense. The current dashboard is already very similar to Windows 8. I wouldn't be suprised if we see some sort of an app in Windows 8 that connects your PC to your Xbox directly somehow.
