Xbox Annoucement 1: New Dashbord, Avatars, Netflix



 UPDATE: We just found out that the Netflix-sharing feature will only be available to those with an Xbox Live Gold account and a premium account with Netflix. Not exactly free, but still, it’s pretty cool. -Ed.

 

Ah, your Xbox dashboard.

Safe. Familiar. Clunky.

This fall, get ready for everything to change. John Shappert, chief of Xbox Live, annoucmed that the Xbox would be “reinvented through software.”

Meaning a huge update. Gone are blades. Gone are gamerpics. Say hello to a rotating carousel of “channels.”

    Not what I hoped for but the change is good. To bad they didnt take Miks ideas now that would have blown us all away

    I agree with Scott here. I don't like the new dashboard. It's bland. I prefer the cartoony, stylish look of Mik's and the previous dashboards. I mean seriously…we spent so much time trying to get our gamerpics on there and now…they're pointless. I feel bad for all those people that bought gamerpics and themes.
