If you haven’t visited Xbox.com recently, you wouldn’t have noticed that a few changes have taken place.

Microsoft have now added the ability to try out the new Xbox Dashboard Experience within their website by simulating the interface using flash. It does a pretty decent job of showing you how its going to work on a basic level but we are going to have wait for it’s release before we get to fiddle around with all of the functions.

Seeing that we don’t really get to choose whether or not we want to switch to the new interface, we can at least start warming up to the idea. I personally think that the new dashboard is looking fantastic compared to the current one and the avatars aren’t looking bad at all.

Throw in the party system and 8 player conference chat and I am pretty much completely sold.

    however I still feel sorry for the thousands of South African’s who have an xbox and will never know about the new dashboard! how do we spread the message?

    It looks nice, will be interested to see how smooth it is on the xbot itself. With regards to South African knowing about the dashboard, there are a number of tall hurdles in the way of using it properly. Namely the lack of bandwidth to download movies/demos etc and Microsoft themselves, not recognising South Africa as a Live! nation.
