I think the new experience has the right balance. 360 is sepose to play games and these avatars are just for that, to instantly show who you are and to represent you in games. Some say they hate the idea but I think it's neccesary, hardcore gamers bought their consoles so now it's up to the teens to buy their nextgen system. They wont make their decision based on GeOW2 or MGS4 but on what console has the coolest extras. If Microsoft didnt have the avatars then they wouldnt even look at what else it has to offer.
Yea, it is closer to the Wii setup. It comes with avatars (Miis) and everything is grouped into channels (much like the TV setup on the Wii). Personally, I wish they would give us a choice. I would rather keep my blade setup, I like the way it looks. But alas that is not the case. Hopefully with the update it will speed the interface up a bit though. My dashboard has slowed down since the last update...
