Starting today, Gamerscoreblog will be posting a weekly feature centered around the "New Xbox Experience" a.k.a. what using your Xbox 360 will look like once the Fall Dashboard Update drops.
In this first installment, the new look of the Gamercard is examined. As you can see in the snapshot above, all of the primary features currently accessible from your Gamercard are still there, only now they're going to be easier to find.
After glancing up at the header image a second time, you'll notice a bunch of cards to the right of the Gamercard. The first card details your Gamerscore and the highest possible score you can achieve based on your game collection, while each card after that represents a game you've played.
So, anyone feel passionately about the New Xbox Experience one way or the other? I'm personally excited for the changes in organization and layout more than anything else.

Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

The current one seems old and crotchety. Also, maybe it is just me but doesn't the current design lag a lot, such as when you hit the guide button or flip to new blades?
The new design seems like it will flow much better... like Cover Flow...
The new look is clean, seems to work like the XMB with the axes reversed and I have yet to see images with ads in them. Good on all fronts. Fuck avatars, but I'll just not make one and that will solve that.
I CAN'T WAIT

...it's like getting a whole new electronic for free...sorta.
Personally, I'm excited for video sharing and whatnot.
But then, it looks like most of the people commenting so far feel the same. Good for them.
So gamerscore is now out of something? What's the fucking point in that? This is NOT what I paid A LOT of money for. I want it back.
Achievements. You get them by doing something cool, you're not meant to work towards them. This new system will make gamers play _just_ to get achievements. Yey for more achievement whores.
they're really lame
And yes, less menu lag please, its ridiculous that I need to wait for content on my harddrive.
Sand in vagina: remove. Xbox has always had the "[current gamerscore] out of [maximum possible gamerscore]" thing. Seriously. I see it all the time. It's just not usually so prominent. It's nothing new. It's always been there. You'll survive.
@ those who said it was a ripoff of the PS3's interface - its actually a ripoff of windows media center, so if you see similarities, and want to accuse someone of ripping someone off, you might want to look to sony.
