Hmm, I'm not a big fan of the windows mobile UI; I actually like the current 360 dash. I'll just have to wait and see how it is first hand before coming to any conclusions.
I'm surprised. 50+ comments and no one noticed the giant satanic blow up doll at the header pic. Jesus I'm scared.
Notwen appears to have gained 13000 gamerscore between the first and third pictures. I'm not an achievement hunter, but I'm impressed
XMB is so boss, I never spend any time on it!
Cause you know, games.
P.S. Also, "social" and "live tv" before games? What?

Your cable subscription comes with ads, too. So do your magazine subscriptions, newspaper subscriptions, etc.

Yes, we get it Microsoft. You have a hardon for that WinPhone 7 UI you made.
That doesn't mean you have to slap it on every-fucking-thing you make from now on.

I'd like to see them make selectable dashboards. One for gaming only,and one with everything.
Or just make the non gaming extra's downloadable App's like the PS3 does.
Since I already have access to most of this stuff on my PS3 for free as App's or in the Web browser, I only need to use my 360 for gaming. So It would be nice to see a gaming only version.

@Fuzunga...you don't want to play your Xbox because of the home UI you don't even have to see if you don't want to? FFs gamers are lazy pieces of shit. Oh noes, I has to read all ova again.
God i hope it's better than the current one.
I got my Eggsbawks before Xmas last year, and I still struggle to find my way through the sea of adverts and unwanted crap!!

Everyone bitching about the blades; quit whining about something so trivial. You can still access the blades by pressing the Xbox guide button. It's really that simple. Open yourself up to new designs, you will really have no idea if you'll like it or not until you start using it for awhile.
Me personally, I'm not too sure. It seems very heavily kinect focused. There's way too much wasted space which I hope they'll eventually fill out with updates but I very much doubt it. However, I very much like that everything is big and in your face, so you know exactly where you are. And keeping everything in tabs is always a nice way to know where you are and stay organised.

Blades were great when there was like 5 things in the Marketplace, but the Xbox and Xbox Live are much more full featured than they were 5 years ago, that's why they got rid of the blades to begin with, browsing the Marketplace was horrendous when they started filling it with content.
@sir legendhead
this is already possible. connect a usb-stick or directly access your pictures from your computer via photo library and choose 'use as background'. your xbox saves it as a background theme so even with your computer turned off you still have your custom background.

If you just play games on your Xbox, why not just set it to play the disc in the drive instead of booting to the dashboard?
Even if you start at the dashboard, is it really that hard to press one button to start your game? If you just want to game, you can ignore all of those other tabs.
Is it more fun to bitch about the dashboard?

I want my live account back. Got hacked a month and a half ago, been on the phone with them eight times. Is this what I'm paying for?
I either play games or go to marketplace to get more games/demos. I really don't care about this shit.
I think they want to integrate the features from their cell phone OS so it becomes more accepted and, when faced with a future cell phone purchase, it will have a familiarity to the consumer. It sure doesn't look too great as it is.
"The current Xbox 360 dashboard is kind of a clusterf*ck"
Nah, it's fine. This new one is a clusterfuck.
Can I opt out?

Give me the ability to control the brightness on the dashboard as for the rest whateva as longs as I don't have to start paying for the extra shit I don't use.
Next dashboard is just going to be a massive white square. Waggling your chin in front of the Kinect causes a small green circle to slowly come into view. Waving your arm allows you to select one of the many game-sperms wriggling around the screen. Fertilising the Xbox logo with said game-sperm causes a title screen to appear. The title screen is pure white except for the title written in green Comic Sans font. Waving your dick around selects the game title and the game begins. You can go back by pelting the Kinect with stones. There are also Lady Gaga adverts in the top right.
beacons look cool. I'm always like, "I want to play halo, but I don't want to be send messages to people cause I don't know if they're busy or not."
seems like the perfect solution.

@Mr Andy Dixon: OMG! I was just scouring through these comments with a hand to my forehead! So many "omg x sucks, y is better" or "omg so many advertisements on xbox!" I was going to finish reading all the comments and go get that exact picture! LMAO! For your comment, you win.
...my heart!

Why for does everyone like lady gaga? Anyways still I agree this is worthless shit I don't need for my system.
Ugh, maybe I'll just disconnect my 360 from Live and stop playing new games so I can keep the fucking NXE of all things. This dash looks like even more of a pain in the ass to navigate. If anyone ever finds out some way to permanently restore the blades, I'm all over that shit. I don't even care that I wouldn't be able to get on Live anymore. I'd just like my 360 to be a gaming console with media capabilities again.
So loving the new dashboard looks awsome can't wait , as the interface is looking more like the mango update coming to WP not the current one .But really happy with this redesign and more kinect support adding voice :)
Mr.AndyDixon & Rammstein,and Brad Nieder are the three people that caught my eye browsing the comments that made sense. I liked the blades because of the noise when I zipped blade to blade, but to complain you want that back is just goofy. The xbox guide button is basically the same thing, and the comment I just want to play games..well you do realize you can set your console to play disc at startup? As Brad commented it seems people just like to bitch and complain. To those that complain, do you not have someone in your life that will listen to you??? is that why you feel the need to complain? I welcome change-especially because this interface looks like an improvement. If you want, you never have to leave your 'game' hub...ever!
What I find hilarious is how people think the current one is so difficult, and that this one, which is basically the same thing just organized better to be used with Kinect and it has an effing SEARCH FUNCTION...is going to be more difficult to navigate. Boo-fucking-hoo
I don't know.. I've got a few qualms about this:
1) This is what we should have gotten last year: Seriously.
2) Screen to content ratio seems small: There just seems to be so much wasted/unused space.
3) Kinect-only voice commands: After years of Microsoft and other companies shilling out headsets and mics we should be able to use them to voice command -at least- the dashboard and apps. Other then Microsoft wanting everyone to go run out and buy a Kinect, there's definitely no reason for it to work this way.
4) System-wide Bing searches, but no net browser: This seems like a no brainer for them to include and they just won't do it. Granted, its probably because they're afraid of viruses and such, but given that you can connect the system to your computer, and could for a long time, then it already seems like it'd be vulnerable enough. At this point it feels like we should be asking "If the 3DS can manage to have this, why can't the 360's ultimate entertainment experience?".
5) Non-gaming Apps?: Not so much a qualm as much as it is confusing (to me) language. I don't consider really any of the apps we have now to be gaming apps, so what did he really mean when he said they'd be open to them? Just seems like they already have been open to them, is all.
6) Marketplace organization: This preview (and all the others I've read, so its nothing against Wesley or anything) really didn't hint much at all to how the marketplace is going to be organized; Which is just about the biggest things, other then ads maybe, you see XBL users complain about. Obviously Microsoft can't just be leaving it at "Oh you can search and go to things instantly with Kinect" when its also pretty obvious that this isn't how everyone will be using the dashboard. So I'd be pretty interested in knowing how the categories are laid out -and I'm sure people are itching to know where they've stuck the indie section this time.

I actually prefer the Nxe compared to this. Seems to me they're trying to recycle the zune Interface while lacing it with the metro UI and some pieces from the ps3 dashboard.
I would like to be able to put xbla games I play often into their own space so I dont have to scroll through all my games to find them. I know there is a recent games spot now, but some sort of favorites section would be nice.

@ kii from hell -
Yeah, I'm using a custom one now. Hopefully they won't take away the option. The all white background in the pics made me a little nervous, but on second thought that's probably just for demo purposes.
