Which were that it would be a dashboard. From which you can launch your games. And sometimes buy overpriced content. To play in your games. Which do not use the dashboard.
They essentially took a UI update, and inflated it to the status of a big game launch. Take a look around the dashboard. Five of the seven channels you've got exist to advertise or sell you things directly. And they couldn't even put the two useful tabs next to each other, forcing you to navigate between several layers of advertising to move between the My Xbox tab (which is where anything useful is at), and the pretty, but inefficient Friends tab. Most of the useful functionality is packed into the ONE My Xbox tab, while five other channels exist for no other reason than Microsoft needs to lift the revenue from XBL sales and advertising.
Don't get me wrong, it's a fine UI update, but that's ALL it is. You've been played as fools by Microsoft into their getting excited about their "New Xbox Experience", which is, by and large, the same old Xbox experience- perhaps with just more advertising.
