I was in the beta so I had the dashboard update a few months ago, and honestly I'm not overly impressed.

There are a few cool new things, but overall it's pretty bland. The IE integration is kinda cool but I used it precisely one time and don't have any desire to use it again.

It's whatever at this point with the 360's dashboard; Microsoft clearly has no idea how to make their system's menus visually appealing. The dashboard has been terrible ever since MS put too many eggs in Kinect's basket...

And get rid of the white cloud at the bottom of the screen... damnit I hate it so much; it covers too much of my themes.

I haven't noticed much of a difference. Wish there were less adverts.

haven't updated yet, different areas recieve it at different times..

It doesn't bother me to be honest...

I just want my Xbox to play games, music and films really..

Give me an app that prints cash and I will download it!

To hell with the rest of the apps!

Why exactly are we paying for gold again? You'd think if you're paying, you wouldn't have to see ads.

It sucks considering we pay for it. It's still better than the PSN interface functionality wise but it looks way too boxy. I liked the first NXE update from a few years ago a lot better. Part of the reason it is the way it is though is because it's made to be functional for those with a Kinect. Which sucks. And this is coming from someone with a Kinect..

I guess it goes along with their "Windows 8" thing. Everything is very boxy kind of like their new logo redesign for Windows. Sucks that Xbox Live still has ads, despite people paying for membership.

Am I missing something my Dashboard looks exactly the same as always. There was an update? I don't believe I've had an update when I turn on my X-Box.

The updates are shared out randomly to keep the traffic low. A friend of mine received his update just yesterday, I got mine on day one.

The only difference I like so far is that most of the themes you can see the whole theme including the bottom part. Where before you couldn't see the whole thing.

A few too many ads for my tastes, but it does look very clean and neat.
