Behold and be amazed, the new Xbox 360 dashboard has been released for all to enjoy. Sufficient to say, it is a massive improvement from original dashboard. There are a few kinks to work out, but it is an overall sleek and appealing design.

The new tab design will take a bit of getting used to, but the categories are easy to navigate. The customization is not exactly advanced, but it looks very impressive. It is a beautifully crafted user interface and I applaud Microsoft for the update.

There was a lot of talk before the update of how Microsoft was just copying Nintendo’s idea of the Miis, but even with that being where the idea for the Xbox 360 avatars came from, Microsoft did a better job with the avatars. I have always felt that the Miis where lacking in individuality and pizazz. I am actually proud of my Xbox 360 avatar and feel it represents me. The clothing options are limited at the moment, but will eventually include an array of commercial outfits.

The highly anticipated Netflix functionality got off to a very shaky start. Columbia Pictures, a subsidiary of Sony, has pulled all of their movies from the Xbox Live version of Netflix for licensing reasons.
