Some images of what appears to be the first screenshots of the new XBox 360 dashboard have popped up on the internet and show a new Kinect-enabled layout as well as the Kinect setup screen.
The new interface looks a lot simpler than the current one, with a much less-3D look going for it. Will this be a Kinect specific interface or are we going to see this only when using the Kinect.
While we were at E3 this year, I think I do remember seeing this new dashboard look (almost sure it was shown during the Microsoft media briefing?). These images are being posted as a rumour on the net, but I’m pretty much 100% sure that they are legit.

The screenshots call it Natal (Natal tuner), so if they are real, they’re old. They just seem too flat to me, especially the min blade menu,

They did show this dashboard in the demo but only the Kinect Hub part… this flat dashboard however has been popping up all over the place and I would say it’s true.

Oh and not to mention those circles where what Microsoft used as branding when Natal was still Natal… so I would say they are legit… but old

These shots probably are real, but that doesn’t mean that’s how it’s going to look in the final product. I expect a visual style similar to Kinect Hub (if that isn’t the only Kinect-enabled menu area) or what is most likely:
It will look exactly the same as it does now, they probably disabled some of the visual effects to save system resources while testing the device (much like you can in all versions of Windows)

I hope this is real as that grey bottom half of the current one looks kak.
