My M$ Mii is going to look like what ever the default gives me, cause Mii's are gay and pointless.

Doesn't look any better, just different. Only thing really upgraded is the chat,netflix, and install to HD. Oh yeah and the Mii 360's  but whatever on that one.

So who thinks we're going to see a disaster when this comes out on the 19th . . . anyone?  Will we see another holiday season with no Xbox Live service?

Microsoft must have some balls attempting this again right before the holidays.

But they have commented on the record that they are ready and will have no problems.  Hmm.

It looks quite good, but judging by that video, I still prefer the old Dashboard. The Xbox Mii's look alright, but there doesn't seem to be much options of clothing or features to choose from.

I actually didn't mind the concept of Avatars, but now that I'm seeing them in these preview videos, they seem pretty awful.

I don't mind cartoony characters in something like Rock Band because you can associate a style with the character that is an acceptable representation (eg. Rock, Metal, etc)  These Avatars seem awful because of the annoying cutesy animations that don't seem to be affected by the Avatar's appearance or any other variable.

I don't think of my 360 as a "cutesy" system.  Plastering these Avatars everywhere is going be be obnoxious.

Looking for "molester..." XD

It'll be a welcome upgrade come the 19th, but nothing groundbreaking. Can't wait for eight-person chat, though.

I'm really loving the new changes.  At the same time, i'm really easy to please, and customization on ANYTHING makes me really like it.  Although it looks like i'm going to finally have to save up for one of those 120 gb harddrives :(    I wish they were cheaper.

Why would people want to not have this?! It a big improvement over the shitty dated blade system and it sounds like the ones who "supposedly" have a 360 and don't want this update are probably just sony fanboys

I'm actually fine with the update.  The only thing I care about is performance, pretty much - since that seems to be vastly improved, I'm all for it.

That's it. I'm sold. Even though the avatar thing is cliche and stuff, I think there's going to be a few people who will enjoy making their avatar look hilariously ridiculous (that's some of the more creative people anyways).
