Indeed. It is this year's Fall Update, although really taking the place of both updates (We didn't get the Spring Update, and rather got the DRM tool), as it is such a radical redesign.

What is X08? I heard someone talking about it on Xbox Live, and they said it was supposed to contain some more games that were coming out this year; the ones that weren't talked about at E3.

An Xbox community event.

Et cetera.

The more I see the new dash in action, the more tolerable it looks. Still annoyed by the gray plane though, should really be transparent to fully show off themes. I can't think of any legitimate reason for the plane to exist, except to give those reflections, which are unnecessary when compared to theme functionality.

"We're trying to give the user a new experience every time they turn on their Xbox."

I want the same experience I'm used to, though.

Whatever. I just really dislike the avatars. I'm sure I'll get used to the Dash eventually, but I'd prefer they just improved on the current Guide by making it quicker to load and interact with.
