The avatars are optional and are not the whole dashboard. :|

What choice? It's a mandatory download. The only way of not getting is to not be connected to live.

If you're talking about the fact that they said the blade system is still there, then it's not the same thing as choosing to use the new one or not.

The blade system shows up when you press the guide button, but its a little different than the current blade system.

No, the avatars aren't a big deal, the whole design of the 360 is part of the reason i liked it.. Personally I now own every gaming console, pc ps3 wii and 360. The 360 has the best (Pc aside) menu, or at least the most appealing.

I want to try out the new dashboard and see how it feels and if it's less cluttered and intuitive. If not I can always go back. Right?

Actually you don't really have a choice if you're connected to the internet and you want to stay connected - the update will make you play offline until you download it.

Hopefully.. I never heard that you could switch back, though i do hope it's true.

I will test it out for awhile, but I just don't like the look, seems bland. I like the color in the defualt one.

odds are that you won't be able to go back but i could be wrong. Why are they updating the dashboard? Half the people don't have live hooked up.

I sincerely doubt you will be able to go back to the old look without deleting all your updates and playing offline. Otherwise, we will be forced to use it.

I'll probably use this new look regardless, looks cool and I like the use of avatars, seeing as how I can never find a gamer picture that I stick with for more than a week - they should work well for me.

If you can customize your avatar like you can the Mii's on the Wii, then I'll use em along with the new dashboard. Say what you want about them being stupid or gay but I got me a spiderman mii, so if i can make him my avatar, that would be awesome. Better yet, Chuck Norris?

Those people will eventually get it as well, since the updates are on discs, too. If you don't update, you don't play that game.

Also don't forget that there is more than one new feature besides the looks and the avatars....

-Install to HDD (it works for 20GB, but this is practically for the 60GB and 120GB users)

-Xbox Live Party

-Netflix

-New "Primetime" channel (They have events on Xbox.xom like that, but I could never find out how to join)

-Among others...

I actually like the idea with avatars. Even though I will not pay for clothes if you have to pay for them. Also there is another dashboard when you click the guide button which is smaller more organized and easier to use.

Well i don't mind "kiddish" things and it wont hurt my sexuality or my consoles "sexuality." I think they'll be interesting and fun to try and unlock in achievements. Can't wait to see how the new dashboard operates as well.

I like when the UI gets changed - as long as it remains efficient then I'm happy.

Avatars would be cooler if they were more adult oriented instead of anime.

Yes I will. I have had my Xbox ever since it came out. The dashboard now is getting old and I want something different. Also since its a mandatory download or if you just dont want to ever play online again because you don't want to use the new dashboard. Then I say have fun playing first player games by yourself. Paying 50 dollars a year to not play online. Nice. Haha I like how some people are saying that, "Well I'm just going to go try it out." Too bad once you get it, you won't be able to go back.

I didn't think it was optional (if you have internet connection to your 360). I will use it of course, I'm pretty sure it will be a mandatory update.....

I dont see why people dont like it. I mean you dont have to see it, just leave your game disk in there so when it loads up, you dont look at it. I will use it and a lot of people agree according to your poll. And people who think they are too manly for avatars or they think its too kiddy, I am 14, I play high school football, and I will use it. Sure I may not be older and my reason wont really matter but I am stating a point. MS gives an update with a lot of things people wanted and now they are like "OH noz, they be copying da ps3 and wii, dis suxx, I willz not use it becuz it suxx". Grow up and deal with it, it is mandatory, stop with these threads, and it is free, how many times does Microsoft give you free cool stuff??

I'm going to use it, the new blade system is hot, I just hope it's speedy/fast. The avatars aren't a big deal for me since I barely stick around my dashboard for too long...

I'm going to be too busy playing Gears of War 2 and Resident Evil 5 to be worrying about what my avatar looks like...
