More 360 Fall Dashboard features revealed photo

As the feature-set for the impending December 3 Xbox 360 Dashboard Update drips out, we're finding it more difficult to get amped about the additions and changes. Now Microsoft Japan has revealed some new information on the update, much of which focuses on dashboard menu changes and streamlining the GUI.

The dashboard will now feature a "Game Library," which will replace (but look similar to) the current "Xbox Live Arcade" tab. New are the filters that will sort and break down games by "All Games," "Arcade," "Demos," and "Recent downloads."

A bigger addition is the "Personal Profile," which is added to individual gamer profiles -- you'll be given 500-1000 characters to introduce yourself, including a name, nationality, region, and self-introduction. This goes hand-in-hand with the improved stalker functionality we reported on earlier, making it easier for ex-girlfriend, bill collectors, and your parents to correctly identify you on Xbox Live.

With the update right around the corner, we're sure the full list of features will be revealed, and hopefully they'll offer more functionality than social networking and cosmetic changes. More info and images can be found over at Game Watch.

Always on the lookout for more cool people to play with; maybe my friends know some.

Speaking of which! If any D'Toiders want to add me, go ahead. Just check my profile for the name. Probably won't be able to add you till my box gets back from the shop though... stupid red ring...

Live does not need to be Facebook or MySpace. 'Nuff said.

At last, finally a chance to mock people giving me bad rep over trash talk if they picked underground AND the fact I am listed as underground.

That's all good fun and all, but where the fuck is the ability to change my linked email address, or the ability to remove the demos I've played from the list of games that I "own?" Get on it, Microsoft. Get the fuck on it.

@Lynx

The removal of demos seems to be part of this update, at least according to almost every source running this story that isn't Destructoid....

Almost all of them...

Woot!

Wait...how does this effect me again?

I agree with Bob. The 'soft needs to get on that keyboard support for ingame.
