It's ok but it dosen't seem as warm and friendly as the one we have now. It looks very commercial and kinect based.

ew.

that looks so.. kiddy.

not impressed (though i expected as much)

I kinda like it, but as previously stated; it's not so warm and friendly, but if this actually activates some of Kinect features that Denmark, and probably a lot of other countries, did not get, like speech recognition, it'd be ok.

I don't really care how many times they change it. I doubt it'll have any less functionality than the current one (and to be honest, I don't care, I just need to be able to turn the game on), and sometimes a little visual change is nice.

meh, dont really care

It's meant to be much more responsive so that's great. Of course it's even more geared for Kinect which makes me wonder if people like me, who don't want Kinect, will miss out on ay features.SilverSignal

i think it looks great. seems like they added Bing and Youtube to it. we'll just have to see how it all works out on the release.

it would definitly take some time to get used to, but it looks pretty cool and is another fresh start on the dashboard.jamminjosh523

kinda reminds me of the ps3 dashboard now though.LessThanMike

Wow it looks sexy 8)

Yep it does look brilliant. I think it said there is going to be a trial/beta in October, but i'm not sure if the actuall dashboard itself is coming out in October permanently.

I wonder how themes and picture backgrounds will work.

Also why can't they let us put 4 different photos up as our backgrounds instead of just 1?

I got some I want as my main, game, media, and System backgrounds.

not impressed.

I just hope they tone down the white a bit...so as to not burn out my eyes.

I like this design better, because it looks easier to navigate through and more convenient to locate the content you're looking for.

Yeah the design is better. I remember the first ever one, it was actually ok. They changed the whole thing to something completly different altogether. I thought it was awesome, but now its just plain to me :/. I can't wait for this next one though.

I guess it does look to kinect based, but oh well. I don't know if its just me, but i think everything is turning kinect now a days. They are trying to include it everywhere.

Meh, too streamlined for me. I really like the current dashboard, it's fairly simple and it looks inviting and fun. This new one is kind of boring.

I like it.

Always been a fan of clean, simple layouts, and this seems to satisfy that.

We're supposed to get Youtube and such too I believe ... hopefully Canadians get it (unlike a lot of other features).

I don't really like it, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. I think it would be cool to have the option to go back to previous versions of the dashboard.

And I wish there was a way to disable ads so they weren't always in your face while on the dashboard. Just something that annoys me.

It looks pretty cool, although I'm surprised they didn't try to go with the new "tiles" style that Windows 8 will get. I'm sure the tiles thing would work really well with the Kinect.

As stated before, I kind of looks like the PS3/PSP dashboard, which is good, in my opinion, because I really like that better.

I can't wait to test it out for myself to give myself a better opinion.

great another design to make our themes usless, this is total crap. i dont see why it needs a new design EVERY 11 months.Spire88

It's always good to have a fresh Dashboard. I would hate to just have one setting for 5 years +

well than we should have a CHOICE if we want to have the new dashboard downloaded instead of it forced on us and our ability to play online taken away untill we do.

I want the old Dashboard back. You know, the blade system. It was so calm, so much less stimulating, and the sound effects added to it. Now with these dashboards I feel like I drank 3 Five Hour Energies 33 minutes after staring at the damn screenBad-School-Girl

I agree with you. I say to some people i want the old dashboard back because it looked kool and i liked it, but they all just hate on it. I though it was just plain, but effective. Simple, yet brilliant. You should be able to change between dashboards from time. That would be awesome!

I think the new update will be good. It's cool to see everything get a facelift.

I am really looking forward to it. I always enjoyed clean and professional layouts. Stoked about YouTube and what other surprises await
