Anyone get the e-mail yet? Still waiting on my beta invite, even though I signed up straight away and it confirmed that I would be in the beta.

Still defaults to what's new instead of My Xbox. Is it so crazy that when I turn on my console I want my content to be front and centre?

Weren't music videos intended as advertisements for the album? Paying for one is hilarious.

Still waiting for my beta update, just log on and didn't get any notice.  Thanks for putting up this video...  I was kind of hoping for more difference.  I'm tired of forcing my eyes to focus to the left, I would rather they just center the interface!!!

This video was a real downer. There was something negative, or screwed up about every feature they tried to demo.
 
Play a movie - whoops, HDCP error
Listen to music - whoops, all the tracks are greyed out
ESPN - only with the right ISP
Change to Halo backdrop - doh, not in the list
Check Facebook while listening to music - nope
 
Also, I noticed little things like how the music jumped and skipped while they were navigating.
 
I'm not impressed yet.

Yes because 99% of your time with a console is spent in the dash...its not like you would use it for games! 
 
Hopefully this dash loads the game library faster.  I have to wait about 45 seconds to a min to load the library because i have so many xbla and downloaded games on my drive.  I hate waiting.

I just want to be able to put an image as my background without the bottom part getting cut off. I wish you could change the menu color schemes around too. :/ I like customization.

Not that i fear change or anything...but i dont think it needed a change stylistically, i love the current "NXE" this just looks boring....cleaner, but boring! 
 
Im sure a theme could perk it up, but i already miss my perspective panels. But alas this is all for kinect...something i'll probably never get to use anyway.

Not really into it, but it might warm up on me. Like the new netflix search feature though.  I don't like however that the kinect is forcing me to change things when I never plan on getting one

You seem like a really negative person who was looking for stuff to complain about. You even went so far as to complain about the Halo theme not being there, despite Jeff saying it wasn't downloaded on the console. What's wrong with you?

@louiedog:  Oh, sorry. I missed the bit about the Halo theme not being there.
 
I still stand by my assertion that there was something negative either said by the guys, (or demonstrated) about every single feature. Even the speed of the navigation, which seemed fine to me, honestly, and 100 friends limit still existing...just to name a couple things. 
 
I guess I'm saying that THEY were being negative, and even though I was initially somewhat stoked about this update, their take on it bummed me out.

Aesthetically, I don't think the New New Xbox Experience looks as nice as the old version. But you can see how the layout has been altered to work with Kinect. It's alright.

7:49, top artist under Sade is Steely Dan. Best freaking band/studio project duo ever.
 
Oh, and I still think the dashboard needs to load things faster. That's the change they need to make. It takes way too long to populate the list of my downloaded games for some reason.

Who cares about the ESPN thing anyway when It's only available in the US anyway, even though you can get ESPN outside of Xbox Live in most regions.

Why didn't ESPN buy 100 percent of TSN a few years ago. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
 
So my $60 is supplementing a service that only Americans can use? Fucking bullshit.
