Why bother. The console is dead in the water. I mean they can't make any decent games so instead they'll just steal the Mii's idea and try to change their stupid interface to appear like they're doing something constructive. And judging from the comments outta M$'s camp lately, they seem desperate to get outta 3rd place overall.

The old one was better. I know you xbox boys can't wait to make your Mii's.

Posted by Jedihunter15 - Monday, July 28, 2008 3:06 PM

This looks cool. Cant wait!

Posted by Bookshelf - Monday, July 28, 2008 3:07 PM

I agree, it really seems that this total overhall of the 360 was a desperate move by M$ to try and keep up with everyone else.

Posted by gurei - Monday, July 28, 2008 3:16 PM

i agree they do seem desperate to reach out to a broader audience by the avatars looking like Mii's, but they already have great games and are not in third. coma caca DPsx7.

i disagree with keeping up, ps3's dash sucks. but idk know if i like this new 360 dash either.
looks like they are just using the Microsoft media center interface.

Posted by DamienHell - Monday, July 28, 2008 3:29 PM

Avatars look nothing like miis, thats like saying that PS home is copying miis because you have people you customize. I honestly don't care about the avatars cause they seem useless but I do like the idea of changing up the dashboard, its something new, changing things is a good idea and I don't know why people are bitching about it. If you don't like it sell your 360

Posted by clayfighter - Monday, July 28, 2008 3:30 PM

seems cool but i would liekto address the fanboys sto[ that dumb shyt seriously fanboying is just dumb ass hell especaly saying the 360 has no decent games when the fact it it has the better catalouge of games bothe critcally and comercially compare tot he wii and the ps3. now im not a fanboy but thatw as just a stupid comment the wii biggest selling game is still wii play a game that comes in the box. and most of the ps3s games are ports so enough with the ignorance.

Posted by ScottFleener - Monday, July 28, 2008 3:32 PM

Totally sucks that xbox 360 has 4 exclusives ranked over 90% while PS3 only has 1. System is so dead it doesn't even have games like Gears of War 2 or Fable 2 coming out. In fact, it's so dead Sony isn't even losing exclusives left and right for their PS3.

losers

who was the one person who pointed it out that this was basically taken from itunes??


And I DO NOT WANT the avarters, I don't even like the miis...

Regardless on if you like the update or not its still coming out I think they have some unique features with the update and they are simular to Mii's. But so is PS3 Trophies to the achievements. If something works other companies are gonna mimick it Regardless how much people complain about it. 360 so far is the only console very friendly for friends to enjoy online play. The only thing with the PS3 Interface that bugged me was Same as PSP also they took so long to let you read messages in game.

I like mine the way it is, I hope they dont make us use this, I know avatars are optional but I hope the interface is to.

Posted by whatchel - Monday, July 28, 2008 3:52 PM

Wow so many haters. I have 360 and enjoy it. Each systme is diff enjoy them for what they are. So many negative people how sad .

Posted by darkmanXL - Monday, July 28, 2008 3:55 PM

I think this fanboy crap is a waste of time and it shows you how big of a loser you are.. @ScottFleener, DPsx7, & clayfighter to name a few..

I have both systems and I have to say I like both, 360 has a Much better online community Ps3 is fine but they are making the right moves to try to gain ground.. The Ps3 is really starting to hit their stride as I do feel they have a strong lineup coming Restistance 2, LBP looks great, Infamous,Valkyria Chronicles and 360 remains strong, really looking forward to Gears 2, Fable 2, aand Star Ocean... Can't wait for the fighting games also, I prefer the Ps3 controller for these the 360 D-pad isn't that good for fighters.. But be happy with what you got if you have both your good, no need to try to bash the other.. Just my thoughts..

Here's some reading for the people who don't think xbox has any good games.

Posted by darkmanXL - Monday, July 28, 2008 3:57 PM

Oh, I like the current dashboard better..

If this doesn't work I quit.

has anybody heard anything about medals??

something MS wants to do?
or it could be just a rumor...


hey some people might like it but I like the current dashboard so the new one is "meh" from me.

Miyamoto once said when asked what was going to be so revolutionary about Nintendo's new system that he wouldn't say until he was good and ready. The reason being that Nintendo was ahead of the curve on what he refused to call hardware gimmicks. He went on to say that nintendo was the first newer system to integrate an analog stick into it's controller, now everyone has two. Nintendo has the first system with a rumble response controller, now everyone's controller has to shake. And true to his own prophecy did the PS3 have a motion sensitive controller when the Wii was revealed and it's controller motion controlled.

The avatars and dashboard are a gimmick, in the same way that Mii's are a gimmick, in the same way that Home is a gimmick. Trying to create a warm social networking feel through the cold lifelessness that is the 360 and PS3.

Posted by tarshimo - Monday, July 28, 2008 4:03 PM

Why are the avatars such a bad idea, please someone tell me why everyone is talking about how these are so bad, its not like its gonna ruin your experience, that and there optional. So STFU!

Posted by Zelahn - Monday, July 28, 2008 4:04 PM

The new 360 dashboard is yet another gimmick. Something sleek and shiny to turn gamers onto the idea that Microsoft isn't so heartless. Microsoft's entire new direction has been about hip and demographic friendly interfaces because they need to compete with how snuggly people have gotten with Steve Jobs and his idiot boxes.

The 360 dash being pretty doesn't take away from the system (provided that the update to the OS doesn't flat out brick the thing). I'm not entirely a fan of it, but I'm not entirely a Microsoft fan either. But better to be a Microsoft or Nintendo fan than a Sony fan because I really think that if one more developer hammers a nail into the PS3's coffin, a'la Capcom and SquareEnix, then a lot of people who could've been fans of less powerful, but more reliable / enjoyable systems are going to be pissed at their new $600 paperweight which'll go on the shelf right next to their Dreamcast.

Thats what the big deal is? You down psn for that?

Posted by master_peterm - Monday, July 28, 2008 4:11 PM

this looks cool but only flashed 360s and try to have this while on xbox live but this is pretty cool and the avatars aren't mii's. Avatars don't have balls for hands and single colored shirts stupid pants and they aren't proportionally retarded they look good and xbox 360 kind of have avatars in separate games like rainbow 6

Posted by capthavic - Monday, July 28, 2008 4:23 PM

First of all the 360 has plenty of good games, way more than the Wii and PS3. The over a dozen games in my collection is a testiment to that. Not to mention all the arcade games.

Secondly being first isn't as important as being in the black. First place isn't as important as making a profit.

And finally While you will have to use the new dashboard (unless you always keep a game in the tray) you don't have to make an avatar.

Posted by barneyslug - Monday, July 28, 2008 4:29 PM

Hey Crimeboss, thanks for the link. 360 is ahead according to this but not by a whole lot.

Posted by mafia28 - Monday, July 28, 2008 4:30 PM

Can you do me a favor next time and not call me a HAXXOR?! LOL Makes me look bad jesus.

Posted by Disturbed_Shifty - Monday, July 28, 2008 6:19 PM

@ DPsx7. Microsoft is third place in what? If your talking sales Sony was last with Nintendo leading the pack.

As far as the Dash board is concerned. I like the orignal one better.... for now. So long as we still get themes I am cool.

Posted by xHaVoK87 - Monday, July 28, 2008 6:24 PM

Dont know why people hating on xbox seeing how it still seems to keep its head above water after so called experts constantly said that ps3 would kick its butt.remember when GTA came out and they claimed that the ps3 would be on top? so until PS3 actually beats xbox i think people need to give MS a little respect for stayin up there so long far as your upcoming games for the PS3 i'm not excited until i see the finished product or they stop delaying it. Like both but xbox is still my most played console.

Posted by disturbedemon - Monday, July 28, 2008 8:43 PM

dunno if i'll like the new dash...we'll see.

but it's understandable why some hate the 360...

i would too if i didn't own one an was some lame ass pc/ps3 gamer thinking ps3 is on top. lolol

lmfao, doesn't get any funnier than that.

Posted by mercisan - Monday, July 28, 2008 11:12 PM

@Vendetta187

I am glad someone else can see DPsx7 for what he is. The guy is useless. I usually just ignore his comments. I'd recommend you do the same.

Posted by Insaneman - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 3:32 AM

Its alrite i guess. still like the original though.

Posted by Thundercracker - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 6:12 AM

@mercisan

the xbox fanboys are a lot worse than the ps3 fanboys, if only cause of numbers...just so many little brats, but granted, we got em too.Just not as many. Sh@t dude, you are one the only ones i respect. Staychisel can be very flamey at times too, but hes at least put his time in...who the hell is captnhavik? or caponyc80 or whatever??

Posted by Thundercracker - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 6:13 AM

@everyone
the next person to say a console stole ANYTHING from another, i will drive to your house and beat your skull in with an aluminum baseball bat.STFU about copying, copying is GOOD you morons. And just wait till the 720 comes out...blu ray drive anyone? wifi? bluetooth? intenet browser? good times, steal, it PROGRESSES gaming for everyone

Posted by BONERJAM - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 10:31 AM

I dont like the look of it, I would rather have it the way it is.

Posted by AxSKamikaze - Sunday, August 3, 2008 12:58 PM

DPsx7, either your retarded or your a sony fan boy. the 360 is not in 3rd place, the ps3 is. And you obviously didnt watch E3 because there is a crap load of great games coming out for the 360.

Posted by Casey2079 - Sunday, August 3, 2008 5:36 PM

The xbox 360 is great and even if they did this to show they are being constuctive, at least they are doing something. Nintendos press conference at E3 was so boring the only thing they came out with was wii plus. Not only that xbox is getting a PS3 exclusive, i'm not a fan of it but it shows that companies don't want to stick with the PS3. I'm not saying one is better than the other i am just saying the 360 does not suck
