I like it.

It makes pretty little music chords as I navigate around it.
No surprise it pleases the musician then ^^

I tried updating yesterday, but I had the same trouble I see many have had. I'll try again when I come home from Uni today.

The Avatars look a little bit better, but the entire thing looks worse. It's really, really bright. Like, uncomfortable and distracting bright. And the old look flowed better than this blocky version. Oh, and the pinging noise is far more annoying.

Of course, none of it really matters, because they still have the big problem of not just starting on the "Play Game" option, which would be much better.
Really? Whenever I start mine up, it's always on the "Play Game" option. What do you see when you start up yours?

OT: I actually kind of like it. The white doesn't bother me, I like the clean corners, and I like the new Dashboard.
However, I do NOT like that one Politcally Correct picture of the nuclear avatar family where EVERY FREAKIN' PERSON is a different race. Haven't seen it? Look for it in one of the channels.
I can't find a pic, but the Dad is black, the Mom is Hispanic, the Son is Caucasian, and the Daughter is pale and blonde. HOW DOES THAT EVEN HAPPEN.

My internet is not currently fast enough to apply the update, which unfortunately means I can't access Xbox Live (£40 a year well spent!). But from the videos I've seen it just looks like a less interesting version of the current dashboard.

I still think the original blades were the best but this new one is nicer than the last one. Plus my avatar looks a bit more like a real person now, which is nice.

I hate it, too white, too square, too clunky,
I play mainly at night and it's just too in your face, please, please, please bring in some way of personalising it. Even if I could subdue the white it would improve it, that and take away the bloody key notes.

I like it. It's not perfect but still nice.



It seems microsoft are into green, white and purple now. Is it just me or are those colour-combinations disturbing?

I managed to finally get round to updatng my Xbox last night and even from the get go it was hurting my eyes. I was actually really disappointed. It was white and flat. Felt like another area in technology where Microsoft are attempting feebly to take notes from Apple.

I just disliked it greatly. It didn't necessarily flow any better, I had to reset up my avatar into what it was wearing before. Why should I even have to do that, it was saved prior to update, so don't get why it then suddenly had errors afterwards.

I'm not so chuffed. But it's here to stay and I'm going to have to go play it sometime...
