Dashboard Update for Fall 2008:
Personally I think it looks awesome and Im kind of tired of the current look of the dashboard. I also read that you can finally install games on the HDD so you won't need to insert the game disc in the drive every time.

This looks great, nice clean and easy to get straight to your games.
I won't use Avatars much but you keep your gamerpics and can use them instead.

If you get banned, you can still use whatever you've downloaded, right?

My favorite part of running games from the HDD will be the the silent dvd drive.

And where is the motion-sensing controller stuff? Or was it just a rumor?

I definitely like the new dashboard, but it seems like they copied most of it from the playstation's XMB and the Mii system of the wii
XMB:
Mii:
Dashboard:
You see the similarity?

I thought you could play music and videos from it though (as long as it was in a supported format)?

more nfo:
| Code: | · Access Xbox LIVE Marketplace on the Web. Browse and purchase Marketplace content whenever you want from Xbox.com and it downloads automatically to your console. Purchase that new map, television episode, the latest Xbox LIVE Arcade game or set up a movie to watch when you get home from work.
· Dashboard built into the new Xbox Guide. For everyone who loves the blades interface, it’s not going away; they are now built directly in to the new Xbox guide. Every feature and option is available right from the guide. You can even access your full games library at all times. No matter where you are (in dash or in game), immediately call up your games played list and directly launch a game.
· LIVE Party system. Create a party of up to eight friends, and stay with them from one game to another, or watch a Netflix movie together, or share a slideshow of your personal photos. It works with all Xbox 360 titles, not just upcoming games. LIVE Party allows up to eight people to chat in the dashboard, so you can meet up before playing.
· Xbox LIVE Primetime. This whole new category of games is going to give you more reasons to get online with your friends. Games will support everything you’d expect, like Achievements and leader boards, but many of these games will include real prizes. You can invite your friends, and even set a reminder for an upcoming show. Each game is broadcast simultaneously, so everyone is answering the same questions. Many events will have a live host, calling the shots as they happen.
· Avatars. Your online identity started as a Gamertag - it then grew into a personalized Gamercard. Now, it has evolved even further into avatars. You can express your style, check out new outfits and share this with the community. Avatars will also be integrated into Xbox LIVE Arcade games, LIVE Party, as well as retail games.
· New display support. Because you asked for it, we are adding 16X10 over VGA or HDMI, and support for 1440x900 or 1680x1050.
This is only the beginning. Over the next few months, we will share more details on the upcoming changes. |

Dont jump the gun. this aint xbox 1 and the system is not fully open. Yes you can install games to the hard drive but you still need the disk to be in the drive to play said game. Dont be expecting FTP tools and shit like that as its still a long way off.

Well at least the laser won't get spent as much, it will probably read the disc at the beginning.
