I like the new features that are going to be included but I think the new look is terrible. Very bland/unoriginal and reminds me of the Playstation's XMB and itunes (I don't like either of those). There is nothing really wrong with the blades other than Microsoft feels they don't have enough ad space to sell   .

The blade system was unique to the 360 and worked very well. Its a real shame they're forcing everyone to switch with no choice in the matter. I wouldn't expect a theme to be forced upon me while using my PC, sat nav, phone, digibox etc so why should it be any different for my games console?.

I don't really see why it had to be "improved" at all. I'm happy with the blade setup, its simple and it isn't cluttered.

I see the new dash as being way too flashy and annoying. Do you absolutely have to upgrade? If not, I'll stick to my blade dash.

You don't have to but if you don't you'll no longer be able to use Live so its pretty much a forced update like it or not.

for the play on HDD issue: I'd suggest a steam-style DRM, where you get a key linked to your gamertag that allows you to play certain games from the HDD.
it works for Steam, so why not for the 360?

ms should let us make our own custom xbox 360 dashboard menu that would pretty cool at least in my opinion id love to see that happen oo nd for the disk to match ur gamertag does that mean if u take a game or lend a game to a friend u would have to download ur gamertag and upload everything to the hdd i mean hows renting a blockbuster game gonna work only way is i guess downloading ur gamertag to another box i guess.

I voted yes because i'm all for change and it still does the same as before and a little extra so what's to complain about, just dont use the extra stuff if you don't like it. lol

When exactly is this update gonna happen then? (UK)

[avatar1976]

This poll is stupid, it was launched before anyone even had the new dash, it has became vaguely relevant after it was leaked but I bet most people don't even have the dash who are voting on this poll.
Just going off how it "looks".  I must say when I saw screen shots of it I thought this isn't going to add anything much for me but I'll give it atry before I go passing judgement on it.
The bottom line is you don't even have to have the new dash anyway, but I'm guessing the blades are going to look so cluttered with sh!t pretty soon you'll want a new dash.


Fixed typo

I just hate that they call it the "Xbox Experience".  The name is retarded.

yeah, they should have just called it Xbox XP

at the end of the day it will still play games so i couldnt care less

The dash doesn't really that make a difference. If the new dash was out first, and the "blades" were soon to be released, people would be griping about those new blades. Whatever is out first, the majority gets used to it, and gripes about change. As long as we have the choice to choose between the Blades or XBE, there shouldn't be a problem.

Well I hope it reduces my Dirty Disks errors on xtreme

[hyfall381]

honestly...dumb question to ask at this point. lets wait to see how it is.

Hopefully this DB update won't screw us all over (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
