New Xbox 360 Dashboard: You Don't Have to Use It
"I know that there are some people that aren't going to like the happy, happy, shiny New Xbox Experience. For whatever reason it's not flipping their bit. "Here's my message to you: you don't actually have to use it. You can never go there, just leave your game disc in and pretty much do everything that you could before but on the Guide level - one button press away in every single game.
The dashboard as it is now is a mess, and I'd take a few features I'd never use over what I have now any day. Is it the Wii-avatars everyone is complaining about? Yeah I think that's a ripoff and that it looks kind of dumb, especially on a 360, but he does have a point- I'll never really have to use that stuff.
They had to do this or risk many people possible leaving their 360s just because of the interface. Personally I happy to see something new.
I don't mind the changes, would be nice with something new. Not so sure about the avatar bit, but I will give it a chance.
I don't really care how it looks as long as it works. If it's faster and better to navigate then I'll accept it with open arms. It looks like crude but once I saw what A theme looks like with it, then I was impressed. I'll be buying a theme for it as soon as it would be available.
Don't be confused people. There's no option to use the new one or old one, you WILL get the new one. All he's saying is you can start your 360 with a game in the tray and skip the dashboard. Then hit the gamer guide and the new guide is basically like the old dashboard. That's all. You won't have an option to choose which dashboard you want.
the dashboard will still be there, which isnt fair to those who dont want it.
Like ive said before, it makes me indifferent, but they should still make it optional.
