Xbox Experience trial available for your browser photo

If you're SEWPER EXCITED about the Xbox 360's fall update and incoming Xbox Experience features, then you'll want to hasten to Xbox.com and try it all out in virtual form.

You can give the Xbox Experience a test drive right now to demo all the upcoming features and see firsthand how it looks. The demonstration will show off everything you need -- including dashboard themes, avatars and the redesigned guides and save options.

I've been trying to load the bugger for a while now, so I can't tell you whether or not it's all rubbish. If you're interested, however, you won't need my words -- go check it out and let us know what you think.

I just had a go of it there and I must say I'm not impressed. It honestly doesn't feel all that different (granted that's not the actual xbox interface) but they've managed to make it look worse in my opinion.

Avatars are ok, I just wish they'd stop acting like the word "innovation" really means "steal from Nintendo".

Yeah, that's the wrong link. That's definitely not Xbox.com

Xbox Live is down right now, and it's ever so cold outside.

So cold...

I don't know what each and every one of my online friends are playing at this exact moment. It's like something died inside me.

I'm not seeing the Xbox Experience, but it could just be because I'm using FireFox.

"XBOX 360 is the first and only game console that allows you to download standard definition and HD movies and TV shows strait to your hard drive."

Um, no it isn't. If you're gonna steal, at least be honest about it.

the real innovation is the actual change of Dashboard. consoles tend to get symbolized by their menus and stuff. Xbox360 does the difference that way even if they are stealing.

ok first off i like the new dashboard its not amazing its ok. Now for all you people who say "xbox why are you stealing all these ideas" i really don't think that way sure the menu looks a little bit like the wii but still. Lets say they made the avatars more human like then everyone would complain about how they look too much like ps3 home so there's really nothing else for them to take in the way of avatars thats human like.

They're updating Xbox live today. That includes Xbox.com as well I guess.

will there not be an option to keep it 'as-is'? that new system confuses me, I'd always think I'm on my old XBOX with that XBMC-look :-)
