Xbox 360 User Interface Revealed

Posted by Hemos on from the neat-to-look-at dept.

Eric writes "BetaNews has some screenshots up of the new Xbox 360 user interface, which appears to be greatly refined over the original Xbox Dashboard. The new UI can be customized by the user and offers access to four main screens: System, Games, Media and Xbox Live. The big focus seems to be on tying Xbox Live into all aspects of the console, be it gaming or entertainment. Consequently, Xbox 360 will ship out of the box with a free Xbox Live Silver-level subscription."

    Who in the fuck would buy a system with "Banner Ads" built into the damned GUI?

      "Well, telling you that there is a new game available in Xbox Live Arcade... Is that a banner ad, or is it an 'informative message.'"

      It's Microsoft, so everybody's on a witch hunt to find anything that's wrong with it. If it were Sony or Nintendo, everybody'd be jumping up and down at the implication that game teasers and demos would be avabilable through their on-line service.
