New XBL Update

I guess this goes in Video Games? Anyway, anybody have it yet? I just downloaded it and I like the new look personally. It feels a lot more... organized, in a way, to me.

I don't like the whiteness of it.
hurts my eyes.

I liked the calm blue a lot better.

what is actually changed?

everything is white and horribly blinding now, thats all i saw, there was also some change in the terms of use witch nobody will bother to read.

and now it basically assumes you have kinect witch i find offensive becuase i would let my 360 red ring from playing viva pinata before i consider buying that gimicky casual crap.

Well, it's not letting me update...

I fucking hate it. It feels friendly.

The day when you feel like a softy for turning on your xbox is a sad day indeed.

Remember a long time ago when the dashboard wasn't a slideshow?


Good times.

Supposed to be more clean.
Dunno if I like it yet, only seen a few screenshots and the changes appear to be strictly cosmetic.

i fieel like im in a room wtih too bright turned on...abd some voices are different for some of my friends and the "clunk" sound it makes when you enter or leave a party is unneeded but different so its kay

I prefer the old dashboard. My SDTV does not do colors or sound well, so I can't read anything on the damn thing easily because of it's brightness.

i think its much much prettier.

no brightness issue on my 32 inch lcd.

Both my roomates enjoy it on their lcds as well

It looks like they changed it for the kinect... but I liked the old setup better. The menu was organized so that you could easily see what the next few panels are and the blue was easy on the eyes. Now it seems like everything was squished except for the guide menu (which now takes up almost the entire screen).

I want my old dash back... why'd they have to go and change it?

blue? the last setup wasn't even blue....

and the organization is exactly the same

the last setup was blue....

I can't stand the bright white, hurts my eyes

you mean green....big green buttons


and maybe it hurts your eyes cause you sit too close or never see the sun?

NT, we shouldn't need to wear sunglasses to look at dashboard.

its not even bright. this website is brighter than the new dashboard

Both your roomates have LCD tvs? are they arranged like a triangle in the middle of your dorm?

lol no. Mine is central, one roommate has his in his locker and my other roommate has his right next to his rack

This website isn't very easy on the eyes, either, NT. I just plain liked the look of the old one better.

I think M$ just figured white boxes would make it easier to be consistent.

I think it would hurt your eyes more, if you looked at the sun.

It's not that bright, guys.

I just hate the sounds. I also liked the old one with the whole thing with depth.

um...the organization hasn't changed at all.....

Yeah, but this new one is all flat and bland. the other one had a curve to it, and there was a feeling of depth.
