I actually really like the update, I find everything to be much nicer. :D
Although It seems a lot of people are dissapointed?

I dont like it.
I dont like the sharp edges, the rounded was much better
I dont like the white, its over used.
Overall, i think they have tried to make it look to modern (and failed)
Not one bit. I still wish users have an option to use the old Blades dashboard. But I know its long gone. :(
Not only do I not like it, I actually hate it, it looks worse than the second dashboard, though I did like the original, and not only that, it's slower than the second dashboard, and I know people complained about the lack of speed with that one!
So I'm less than impressed, I want to revert back, but I know we're stuck with this for at least a year! >.>

its fine...i just hate that the updates take forever to download Lol...at least you weren't in the Beta. You would get an update everyday. You had to wait 15mins before you can actually use the 360. My opinion, it is alright but....before today, the speed was blazing fast. Today, it is SUPER UBER LAGGY.To be honest i think that you are all over reacting a bit, its rather ridiculous. I'm sure that you will get used to it eventually. Microsoft dd the update for a reason and they obviously thought that it looked really good (which i think as well by the way), so why can't you all just stop complaining about it and just get used to it!!!

I agree completely. The sharp edges on the boxes just make things look old.. and the white practically blinds me on my friends list. How am i supposed to look at that on those late game nights? They could at least use gradients, like grey to white, instead of plain white.. Or maybe an option to reverse, and put white on black?

I couldn't update yet because Microsoft banned me right before the update without any real good reason. Anyway, from what people are saying I'm not going to like it much. I hate, hate, HATE it when they put white in the background. It is usually way too bright and practically blinds me/gives me a seizure. That's why I can't stand the Wii's menus. White is the absolute worst "color" they could've picked. And the sharp-edges seems like another thing that will just hurt my eyes giving the picture an awkward 3D look. Looks like I'll be wearing sunglasses with the new update..bs!I really enjoy! Though, as everyone else said, why white? I mean, back when Elites were the top of the line, they were black. Now Xbox Slim is out, still black. So why in the world would they pick WHITE? Black would match the Xbox, controller, all that jazz. At least let us pick. Other then that, voice quality is better. Ever hear a song on through the mic before? You can actually hear words now!
I like the update because frankly not liking it wont make it any better... and for the guy who said it took forever to download? what connection are you running DSL? it took me 2 mins tops to download it and get back to the dashboard.. get the checked out man.
yes i agree 100%.It seems like a lot of people are overreacting about it. I dont think its that bad although i would rather have the blades back from the 1st dashboard.

Said the kid who bought all the avatar items...
i dont really like the white, but i guess thats not really such a big deal
what i really hate though is the changes they made to the 'Game Marketplace' the way it is arranged now is horrible, no option just to look at new releases anymore, now you have to go into specific areas (Themes, Game Add-ons, Arcade Games etc etc) to see whats new which means it takes much longer than before to see whats new o download, and also Indie Games have been totally buried in a place that most people will never look which i think is a real shame
it also seems to be much much slower than the old dashbord, long long loading times between areas and freezing up for 30+ seconds quite often, i have had it freeze up completely twice already and i have been forced to turn the console off at the wall just to get it to reboot
so all in all, no i dont like it one bit.....

I love the way everything looks, but yeah, the updates do take a lot longer for some reason.
What I'm interested in is finding out if they've changed the Xbox guide menu, and if the premium themes still function correctly. It would suck to have shelled out those MSpts only to have a couple of useless themes. (I won't be able to turn on my xbox to update until tonight.)El_Zo1212ohave you not got the update yet? The premium themes still work and the guide menu is pretty much the same from what I can tell.

Well For a while I have been offline and I haven't had a chance to update anything (or use my DLC for the most part :_: ) but I have looked at a few videos of the new dashboard and well, I don't see too much of a difference. They changed some colors and it looks a bit boxie but all in all it looks the same, you still have 75% of your background image blocked making it still useless to have one and its still bulky and ugly. The use of white is a bit preferable to the over that sickly yellowed green color they had but I can see how late night gaming will result in eyestrain when you come from a dark game to a white menu to see a note from a friend. Its just too bad they didn't leave an option to use any of the past dashboards that way people can keep using what they like.

Because some people haven't figured out how to change themes yet.
