new 360 dashboard

I was wondering if any has heard of the new dashboard that will be introduced soon or later on, if any one has saw it (preview) and what are your thoughts on it? or is it just a big rumor

This is the first I have heard about it although it would be good to see someting different when I turn my XBOX on

E2 people, new dashboard is coming in the fall (when the hell is that?). Have a look at the official BS video:

Not sure when fall is but i think it is the time when leaves fall off the trees

Had a look at the lin and it looks quite good when i watched the video.

it looks like it manly created for kids i hope they give a choice weather you want it or not

Ye me too

It would be good to have somethin different though

Exactly. I like the idea, but it looks so childish it's really put me off. Plus what happens to all the gamerpics and themes ive bought? will i be reimbursed or what?

Well info is still a bit thin but apparently you can still use your gamerpics etc, as opposed to using the avatar.

Also my sig......wtf Athalis!!!!!

aw that's bullshit! I'd probably have got one anyway, but still! I like my gamerpics

I watch a vid where it said you don't have to use the avatar, guess will just have to wait and see. Although I can't see MS forcing this on people.

I hope we don't need an avatar cause I had to earn 1 million kudos on PGR4 for mine!!!!

It might be alright, but why can't they have like a mature option that's not all cutesy with the crappy primetime game shows etc. I want an avatar you can put fangs and wings and shit on, make it all butch and manly lol and the community thing that replaces your FL is a disaster waiting to happen, I mean my 360 can barely handle loading the FL as it is now, it'll take like 40 mins just to load this new thing! If the PS3 wasn't so crap I'd consider selling my 360

Plus I'd miss you guys lol



And by you guys I mean hilly sekknsch and willcox cos no-one else ever bloody uses the site

just wait and see, it might be ok...and its' not like the dashboard is really that important. Just a stupid marketing trick by MS.

You have the option of using it.

It's actually got some great new features such as huge multiplayer games from the dash where up to 100 people can play.

You can install games to your HD, pop in the disc and it will copy all files to the hard drive so you can say bye bye to that horrid noise as the doovde gets span round, you still need to insert the game disc to play though.

Think it's set to release in November.

I have a 12GB HD so what I could fit maybe 2-3 games on there? I'll defo give that 1 vs100 ago. There also some pretty gay features such as party mode, where you get to show each other pics, jump into XBL games etc.

It does sound pretty good, but I'll wait and see....

I've heard some good and some bad things so ill wait till it is released and decide then.

Remember a lot of game DVD's will use dual layer technology, meaning that they are well over the standard 4.7GB size. I think it's a great move by MS, not only will it be better for us to install games but it also gives people the incentive to go out and buy their new 60GB drive. It may also spell the future for full downloadable games.
