Unveiled on the E3, the new dashboard:
http://newtech.aurum3.com/images/mic...-dashboard.jpg
I don't like those avatars...they're from the Wii and i was thinking. Perhaps Microsoft will ship extra clothes/accesoires for your avatar on Marketplace where you have to pay for? :S.
What was wrong with the old Dashboard? :S
EDIT: This will be released this Fall.
Yeah, i prefer the old dashboard, but if you have the choice to choose GamerPic instead of avatars, then I dont mind.
Hopefully it will be an optional download,
It looks suckish.
I like the old dashboard much better.
I wouldn't mind if you had the option of the current one, plus that,
But if its a compulsory update.. Then I'm burning my xbox xD
I prefer the old Dashboard, I think they've tried to go too technical with the new one, they should just keep it basic, and maybe release skins for the current dashboard (If that's not already available, I'm not sure xD)
Yeah, You can already get skins, but they aren't very creative.Quote:

They could do with some actual decent themes, like bubly, Fire,
You know, animated themes :)
I can has money for gamerpics back? Assholes. I loved the gamercards. Avatars aren't that necessary.
There also was a rumor that Microsoft want to had the whole time for themself.. if they didn't.. Bungie could tell some things about a next version of Halo i thought.

Those new avatars remind me of the avatars for the PlayStation Home, but yeah, the new dashboard sucks ass.
Reminds me of Wii and Home made too together
Apparently, Microsoft copied Wii's avatar, so as my friend say.
Actually this update is like Vista, bad.
And also copied from Mac.Quote:

There is hardly any originality in anything these days, everything is based or copied from something else, it's not worth mentioning anymore.
right Gohan Complicated :S
Quoted for truth.Quote:

When will this be released?
That is, if it does get released.
Or is it already out wherever you people live?
Well we cant say if its bad or not till its out for the public or you are a beta tester. So i wait with my negative review till i have it :)
This will be released this Fall. I'll add it.Quote:

Edit: Good thing they are still keeping gamerpic. Whew. It's still lame copy of "mii" integrated with something like PS-home. Useless.
None of the things you mention are original. For example scores, achievements and percentages to indicate completion of the game have been used for ages, so to make 1 general system for everything is just a variation for something that already existed.Quote:
PS3 - Trophies (Xbox 360 Achievements)
Xbox 360 - Avatar (Nintendo Wii)
Nintendo Wii - Originality? :D
The avatars for the Wii are not original either, countless of community programs have used them, aka not original.
People who call the Wii original are idiots, the Wii is not original, everything they use has been used in some way before, playing games with motion was for example already done before on the DC, and i wouldn't even vouch for their originality in that either, though in all honesty, the DC did have some really original ideas.
Ofcourse some ideas are completely ripped off like Sony's trophies and Nintendo's avatar system (Microsoft even more as they furthered a popular system), whereas the achievement system from Microsoft atleast has some originality.
Turning my bloody 360 into a casual clone /facepalm
erghh..
Looks horrid.
whats wrong with the old one?
Wow why dont i just go buy a Wii, dumbest thing ever.
Looks ulgy. I like the Dashboard now, tbh.
A big letdown to the 360.
From what i've gathered it's not a replacement, it's something you can boot up, perhaps you can even get the 360 to boot up with that, but it won't replace it altogether.
i dislike it, although does remind me of the Wii.
I hope it comes in different skins.
`Pat
I'd like to have an option to keep my really nice looking at quite easy to use regular dashboard. How much simpler do they want to get? Most of their games are not casual and they definitely shouldn't be trying to move it towards that direction too much. It'll piss off the regular gamers who don't want bubbly pixar freaks representing them.
Ew that looks nasty as, fully ruins the whole coolness of xbox. kinda makes me rather want to get a ps3 lol :P
I prefer the old dashboard this one looks too much like the wii dashboard.
So don't use it...
I like it much better now
lol. anyone else find that hilarious? anyone?
