I just downloaded and installed the new dashboard, and my avatar looks awful now. It's like the old head was copy pasted onto a taller, stretched out body. Dislike.

Sweet I can't wait to download it now.

Can't sleep because of a fever. Might as well go download it and see what it looks like.

You get used to the new look after a couple of weeks.

" @Arrested_Developer:  this. Ive had the beta for ages and now the old avatars look really squished and fat. "

i like it so far. 
just need to see if the voice quality has improved like they said.

Just installed it and I think my avatar looks just fine, can't see much difference
 
The menus are a little to bright for my liking with all the white but I'll get used to it
 
Atleast it loads alot faster

Overall I'm liking the new design, and the menus seem to load faster.

um yeah..sorry no? It looks nothing like that they completely retooled the textures and dimensions.

Is there any way to go back to the old design?

Are there finally more than a whopping five or ten ways you can make your avatar look? Is there finally a way to just DELETE your fucking avatar, so you don't have to participate in that retarded bullshit? Can you finally have a super SKINNY avatar and an OBESE one, instead of being able to choose from the "wide" variety from "normal" to "very slightly pudgy"?

Everything was really weird to begin with, but I guess it's better once I get used to it. Menus seem faster, especially when you press the guidance button or whatever they call it.

Definitely a general improvement as far as the overall dashboard goes. Avatars you'll get used to in time.

Good thing it has absolutely nothing to do with the way the games play, hence me not giving a shit about what they want to do to the Dashboard.

Good apart from 2 things:
 
1: Now that the boxes are on the same plane you can't see as many of them, makes browsing games and movies even more annoying.
 
2: When you press Y to bring up Game Details it no longer seems to link to downloads, which makes finding DLC much more of a ball ache. Although it probably just means I'll buy less of it so maybe it's a good thing for my wallet.

i think they're fine. Overall, it's a fantastic update!

You look gross.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Yay. Now I can listen to all those voice messages that have been piling up. 

Dash looks great. Avatars look fine.  I approve.

Just got the update, I think the avatars look fine. Although, I have to say the whole thing looks a little bit childish. The Xbox logo in the bottom right and the coloured button icons at the bottom just look too basic, also the notification pop-up text change looks weird as well.
Although I have noticed when I look through my achievements, they load much faster which is nice, i think it's OK so far.

i look fucking sexy, brah. 

Wish they would offer couple of colour options. 

They look the same to me.

" People will bitch about anything I swear. "

I got used to it now. The difference is hardly noticeable. The only thing that's off is my dude's hands, they seem stretched.

The only thing this update needed was the ability to turn off notifications for friends signing on while leaving achievements enabled. 
 
 It's not that difficult. Make it happen, Microsoft!

I refuse to update.

I have no problem with the new avatars, and I love the new dashboard look, but I just wish it actually made some functionality changes. Not even new features, but at least better implementations of some existing stuff. Speed increase would have also been nice... so far doesn't seem to have changed at all.

got the update but now i can't play EA Sports MMA... awesome!
haven't tried red dead yet but i really hope that works..
 
also i lost all of my friends, another great thing about the update :P

" You get used to the new look after a couple of weeks. "

Finally got my Net Flicks! New dashboard is okay, nothing amazing has happened.

I'm still waiting for them to bring back the blades. 

I got the RROD as when I turned on my 360 today.

They changed avatars? 
Man I was in the beta for too long.

My avatar seems fine to me. 
 My only problem is that my Mass Effect 2 Joker Hat is all messed up. Instead of being gray and white, its this weird blue.
