@Wula_ yep i blame my gen for that as me is 18, i do actualy hate facebook and that lot, twiiter is cool cause its just one thing, but thats another story. i do like the point that there should be an option to make a slimmed down UI for purly gaming, just needs to make sure that if it does happen they need to keep the videos, music and things like that, so realy just the original 360 dash but shinier :D did i by accident troll? i think theres a difference between trolling and opinionating, i try to back up my points with good arguments, but if i dont people should say, i think that trolls are people who say something is bad and dont say why, so example, "PS3 IS S***!!!!! XBOX RULEZ!!!!!" i would think troll, if someone goes "PS3 is not a good console because.... and xbox is better because...." (bare in mind i dont actualy hate PS3 but as this is an xbox vid i was just making the xbox 1 up if you get me). i dont think we should get into that too deep, obv reasons. @scorzero its out now, log in to your XBL account and it will ask to update.

The new interface is sick but we need more vids lol I don't know how to input my cable provider or what's going to be shown on here "companion"

Wula_ 30 pts

@pierrey22 yea personally I avoid trolling and try my best to remain neutral to the situation. Since I am a avid gamer and love most of the equipment I own. It just sucks today that we have too many close minded fanboys that cannot enjoy the full spectrum. But as far as the UI goes I do appreciate it being way better then the second version. But wish there was a option to turn off the excessive ads. Unless I just haven't found it yet or am overlooking something. I use my systems for gaming not multimedia uses. That is why I spent $970 on a high end PC I built. Hell it would be nice to have some simple switch buried in all the menus giving us the option to have a gaming oriented menu layout or all that social BS the younger generations are all caught up in.

Whats the difference (or should I say benefit) between cloud and just recovering your gamertag on another console?

wolfbm 6 pts

I didn't really get to mess with it much but it is looking too compact and confusing. I do ,however, like the bing search bar....just as long as it works like I hope it does.

marvsta 5 pts

Psymon118 5 pts

@daub11 naw just turn the system on. at first i upgraded and it wouldnt let me sign in but i am now

daub11 6 pts

so i can actually update my 360 saaweet.does it cost any thing to have an xbox 360 upgraded and if so then how much would it be?(would i have to take my 360 in just to have it upgraded.)

guitardylan 6 pts

Looks kinda cool. I wonder if all my paid themes will still show in the background?? If this new UI can only be viewed this way with the metal background, that will be a bummer especially since I've paid for themes in the past....

It seems like every 2 or 3 days, the Vita is getting a hunk of news that makes it far less desirable. Throw in the recent PS3 pack of the PSP God of Wars and it doesn't seem unreasonable to suspect that UC: Golden Abyss will eventually pop up on the PS3, as well. The list of reasons to get one is getting rapidly eclipsed by the list of reasons not to. I admit that I don't want or need a dedicated handheld (if I am sitting down that long, I am probably near my consoles), so take of that what you will.

jamminjosh523 5 pts

GhostofWar75 19 pts

Looks pretty good. But it kinda blocks out the back round themes again which is kinda annoying. But still i like it

lorddaggeroff 28 pts

That's a first a gaming platform with apps, And iphone with just phone with apps. interesting nothing new but interesting.

thekugman 5 pts

They should have signed Tom Cruise up to demo it. He could do a future crimes type thing.

lilflex1 7 pts

i know its a windows phone = windows app but i wish this was for the iphone it would give me another app/reason to avoid a boring conversation

ethanradd 5 pts

at 5:47 ...popular now: Metal Gear Solid :D

VHEISU 5 pts

looks real clean. just wish there weren't so many ads.

gamer_203 5 pts

I'm all for innovation and trying new things, but MAN kinect just seems like such an unnecessary gimmick. It may save you a fraction of half a second, otherwise it just looks like you're gonna smack someone trying to move around.

the new dashboard is awesome. i am one of the beta testers for it.

Spybreak 8 pts

Nice but I really wish they'd allow us to customize the dashboard a little, like what we had with the previous blade/NXE dashboards.

MALMSTEEN4774 6 pts

Thats cool!!!!! cant wait for the update!

Ford_Cruller 30 pts

love how he's trying to show off the Kinect navigation, but when he picks up a controller everything works much better.
