Reminds me too much of Wii's Me feature. : /

Reminds me too much of Wii's Me feature. : /I agree with that one.

I'm not so sure... I don't see any originality.

[SomeRandomGuy]

Doesn't look that great.

Though i wouldn't mind the new experience

[zach]

Yeah, we've been looking at the same dashboard for years so this will be something new. If MS thinks it will bring more casual customers to the console, then nothing wrong with that.

[Furlac]

It bugs me a little. They're too reminiscent of Miis, but they do look slightly more interactive.

3 words "8 Way Chat!" enoght said also the Avatars are made by Rare! :p and the new 1 Vs 100 looks cool free game anyone? and the Uno Rush loved playing the 1st 1 with my friends and messing about for hours on end with the vison cams :) Oh and the new guide looks really cool and i think the new Dashbored set up looks easyer to use

microsoft r copying the wii with this

[OmniMaster]

It like the idea, but they could have done something different to make it different from the Wii's Mii system.

[Sprig285]

Um... they are just using a good idea to make the 360 better

[OmniMaster]

True, true.


Nintendo is making a mic for the Wii for Animal Crossing City Folk.

[pinataFan626001]

Whoa, I can't wait to try that out.

[Stardos]

Wiis Miss, iTunes cover flow (but in a much greyer boring form).
just aload of old ideas, i think they could have upgraded the blade system to make more of it. i no they said it was limiting, but it was unique.
