A Letter from Marc Whitten: A New Xbox 360 Experience

The following is a letter from CVP of Xbox LIVE Marc Whitten that he wanted me to share directly with the Xbox LIVE community. 

Dear Xbox LIVE Members,

Today, we’re launching a new Xbox 360 experience that connects you with your favorite entertainment and games like never before and makes finding and enjoying entertainment as simple as it should be.

It’s a vision we shared at E3 and I’d like to thank you for all of your valuable feedback along this incredible ride and share a little more about what we have in store this holiday – from Beacons, cloud storage and Facebook sharing, to our latest entertainment offerings.

Building upon our great lineup of partners, we’ve teamed up with nearly 40 of the world’s leading TV & entertainment providers to bring you an array of live and on-demand TV, movies, games, sports and music experiences. The first wave of new partners rolls out today with experiences like EPIX and TODAY (MSNBC) in the US, LOVEFiLM in the UK, Sky Go in Germany, Premium Play by (MediaSet) in Italy and Telefonica España – Movistar Imagenio in Spain. And we’ll continue to roll out more entertainment content to Xbox LIVE in the coming months.

Beyond entertainment, you’ll find a number of features designed to make your Xbox experience more personal, social and effortless. The dashboard has an entirely new look and feel and a completely reimagined interface that makes your entertainment accessible through simple voice commands. Now, using voice search with Bing on Xbox, you can find and play the programming you want across multiple entertainment providers without having to search for a remote control. In the mood for ‘The Office?’ Just say “Xbox, Bing, ‘The Office,’” and Xbox will display all episodes available from various entertainment apps across the console.

We’re also bringing you Beacons and Facebook sharing, further integrating social into your Xbox experience. Before jumping into an episode of ‘The Office,’ you can activate a Beacon to let your friends know that you want to play, say, “Gears of War 3.” Then, sit back and relax with the Dunder Mifflin crew. The Beacon will let you know when a LIVE friend is available for a round of Horde in Gears. After the game, use Facebook Sharing to tout your achievements and showcase your in-game accomplishments through direct posts.

While we’re proud of our capability to connect you remotely to the global community of more than 35 million Xbox LIVE members, sometimes there’s nothing like being with your friends and family. And so we’ve added cloud storage so you can access game saves and your LIVE profile, including achievements, from your friends’ consoles as well.

Lastly, with the ever-expanding library of content available, we realize Xbox is enjoyed by all members of the family. Rest assured that our parental controls have improved in parallel with this new content. Parents can manage their child’s console activity, sharing on social networking sites as well as regulate access to games, movies, television, and music. Additionally, the update brings enhanced navigation to Xbox 360 Family Settings to better integrate with Kinect.

We strive to continually innovate and bring meaningful experiences to each and every member of the Xbox LIVE community. Currently, our community is already enjoying 2.1 billion hours of entertainment each month. We imagine this number will only continue to grow as you discover enhanced entertainment on Xbox this holiday that is instantly searchable, easily discoverable and enjoyable in extraordinary new ways. We hope you enjoy this new chapter in the evolution of Xbox and continue to push us to write the next.

See you on LIVE,

Marc Whitten

    is it today or tomorrow (dec 6th)?

    so the new dash update is coming out now?

    This is super exciting! I’ve been waiting for this since I saw it demonstrated at E3!!!

  • Allan Cantillo

    What about the rest of the countries not listed? Not even youtube will work… I still don’t get it, why create artificial barrers where they don’t naturally exist

  • Chris Gomez

    Because lawyers set up boundaries where content is licensed in certain areas or corporate liability is bounded to certain jurisdictions.  For example, MSFT lawyers may not be ready for liability from watching YouTube in some other jurisdiction than the usuals.

  • http://twitter.com/daringone DaringOne

    The TV stuff doesn’t excite me at all.  If I could just buy channels alone without needing an existing subscription (I.E. – Buy the Xbox ESPN package even though I have no cable/dish provider) then I’d be WAY more interested.  Sadly, that’s not the case.  The only bright spot is UFC, which I’m not into enough to pay $50 a pop for, but at least it’s progress.  Microsoft had a chance to change the world of video content delivery, and instead, kept the status quo.  Maybe someone will get it right some day.

  • David Roberts

    He said “today” because that word ecapsulates the time segment that, relative to him, is Monday, Dec 5th. During this time period, it will become Dec 6th in other parts of the world and they will begin to receive their 360 updates.

    How about delivering something useful that people want instead?

    YouTube???

    You do realize the companies not allowing what you are talking about are cable companies and networks.   It’s going to take a fundamental shift in the way these companies think, and how the majority of consumer digest content, before that change will happen.  Its baby steps and regardless, its a step in the right direction.   As more companies start doing similar thing, we’ll see changes start happening.   The revolution WILL be televised.

    this is bullshit the new dashboard , i live in belgium where we get 0 yes 0 !!!!!! new apps 0 new ^partners the only stupid things  we got is facebook and zune and twitter thats all

  • http://twitter.com/TsarLizzle Lizzle

    I’ve found with the new dashboard everything is a number of extra steps away and the whole interface is cluttered with spam apps.  I wish there was a way to disable tabs as I have no need to use my Xbox for music, videos, TV, YouTube.  If there was an option to disable all the stuff I don’t need the new dashboard might be ok, but as it stands it’s a big step back from the current dashboard in terms of usability.  Also the endless notifications it adds are a huge pain.

  • Ben Kings

    I agree with Lizzie, however, I find the new one better than the previous one. Mainly because I  disliked being forced to see adverts etc. when I log on (we didn’t have before the previous dashboard). At least with the new dash’, it starts with immediate access to games and is easier to navigate.

    Dear Sony,

    This is how you keep people happy.

    Sincerely,

    Someone who owns both.

  • http://twitter.com/The_Dukenator Mark

    You can change the ad setting to family instead of standard, if you want less ads.  But then you’ll miss out on other stuff.

    are we going to be able to do skype via kinect yet?

  • Ujn Hunter

    The most important question: Can I turn off the garbage that I don’t use (and never will)? I don’t need all this clutter and ad-ware clogging up my gaming experience. Why can’t you opt out of this stuff if you’re a Gold Member?

    The only thing I’m interested in is playing games on the Xbox. Thanks for all of the hard work though and I don’t mean that sarcastically.

    I agree. It took maybe a day or so to get use to the new layout, and then I absolutely loved it.

    YouTube is coming to 24 countries so it’s going to be a pretty widely available app.

    Just remember and this going for everything and everyone… Microsoft sees no benefit from holding content back to anyone. If they could offer X in region Y, they would but especially when you’re talking about licensed video content, it’s a lot easier said than done to offer it to everyone.

  • Anonymous

    Microsoft didn’t have a chance to do anything. They can only do as much as the content providers allow for them to do.

    I also want it. Quite a bit.

    Coming later in December. See the previous post about Apps & Partners here on Major’s blog.

    I disagree completely. I’m a big fan of the new dashboard & think they did a great job.

    I don’t look at these “ads” that everyone complains about as ads. There are certainly a few true ads but the majority of the stuff I see is more alerts about new content that is available on the 360 & quite frankly, I like knowing when new content that I might be interested in is available.

    You cannot turn anything off.

    I just can’t bring myself to “bing” anything. I understand this is a marketing attempt to set Bing as a standard, but Google owns that and it’s going to feel really awkward for a lot of people who have been “googling” everything for the last decade. 

    Other than that, everything looks and feels fantastic. I’m really loving the Kinect integration. If anyone has been waiting to get the Kinect, now’s the time.

  • http://twitter.com/metalboxfan Ryan Valz

    you can choose not to download the apps.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_XOTBJKUR4IW74YLQH2LHQTE2BU Kairu

    I really don’t see the point in all of these apps. A lot of people now have their PC/Laptop right next to them, all they have to do is plug in a HDMI cable and it’s on their TV. Also Bing?… seriously. Why? Please don’t say you’re going to sink as low as to count Bing on Xbox as increased marketshare.

    I was hyped for this update but YouTube isn’t even a launch app. And the list doesn’t even have the good networks they announced a few months ago. Fail MS just Fail. Tell me when Manga and SyFy come out.

    Look forward to the look and feel of the new dash, but I won’t be coerced into ‘bing’ing anything. So that aint happening.

  • ElektroDragon

    Does anyone SERIOUSLY, ACTUALLY post their game and achievement progress on Facebook?  Most of my friends on Facebook are not gamers and I’d be completely embarrassed posting stuff like that on Facebook so my co-workers, family, favorite bands, and other acquaintances can see it and snicker to themselves!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Manu-G-Kenton/1247200684 Manu G Kenton

      Major Nelson could you please tell me what were going to get in belgium , what kind of new apps or new partners ?
    Because i dont see belgium at all on the new list with apps and partners

  • http://www.facebook.com/christopher.boutwell Christopher Wade Boutwell

    If you are embarrassed about your gaming then you’re obviously not who that is being advertised for. Most of real gamers would be proud to showcase we got that ultra hard achievement.

    To sad good ol’ Mr. Whitten diddn’t tell that MS is ditching the Indies Devs again because they are hiding this section where nobody will find them. But hey….we’ll get a square just for Kinect Games! Yay! Isn’t this GREAT!???! :P

    True but a lot of their friends couldn’t care less about the “achievement updates”

  • ElektroDragon

    TO THE RIGHT AUDIENCE.  And I’m incensed that you insinuate that I am not a real gamer with 6 years on Live, 84K gamerscore, and over 500 games played on my account, most of them owned.

    “We strive to continually innovate and bring meaningful experiences to each and every member of the Xbox LIVE community. ”
    I guess that the Portuguese aren’t members of such community.

    Honestly, have a look at what you offer in Portugal and tell me if I’m not right.

    Zune or Zune Pass? No
    Last.FM? No
    Video Rental of any sort? No
    Inside XBOX? No
    Native Portuguese in the Dashboard? No
    Kinect Voice Controls? No
    Live TV? No
    Games translated to Portuguese? No (not that I care). But on PS3 yes.
    Games on the store shelves? A few, but right beside we have 10 times more PS3 and Wii titles. Last weekend we went to one of the biggest media shops in Portugal to buy Battlefield 3, there was none. They told me that MS only sent the, about 4 copies. People resort to imports mostly from UK.

    …. and list goes on. No No No No No ….

    What do we have? We pay XBOXLive subscriptions to be able to voice chat and play multiplayer games.

    It’d be awesome to share some of my best achievements on Facebook. If you think someone will laugh at you because you game, maybe you aren’t really friends with them.

    Read Major Nelson’s earlier post:

    YouTube will be available LATER in December. An exact date was not specified.

    You’ll pretty much have the apps from before (Netflix, Hulu Plus, ESPN) with only a few extras (depending on the country that you live in).

    Not even… wait for it… Major Minute!!! So, it’s not in portuguese, neither the games but we play them!
    I understand that we can’t have on XBox apps from providers that don’t exist in Portugal, but Zune is Microsoft… Inside XBox and Major Minute: is it a check box that need’s to be ticked somewhere?
    And yes, I do think that I could also do a better job. No content, no publicity, no nothing. In Portugal people buy XBoxes because friends have them or read about them in forums. This is, even after six years, a fine piece of equipment, not tupperware…

    Funny…  I don’t see anything there that ‘insinuates’ that you’re a bad gamer. If you’re embarressed (which is what he’s REALLY insinuating) to announce to the World – “I game, therefore I am” – then the right advice is Rob T’s. Quit worrying about what others think.  I post my daily play and cheevos to FB - and I don’t really care who sees it, approves, disapproves, whatever…

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Rick-Kingslan/100000233787966 Rick Kingslan

    Contact content providers in your country and get them to develop for Xbox.  It’s not Microsoft’s job to go get content providers.  The providers do the apps and get the content providers on board, but I can only imagine that all of the work done so far is a lot in the rather short 9 mos.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Rick-Kingslan/100000233787966 Rick Kingslan

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Rick-Kingslan/100000233787966 Rick Kingslan

    Currently, there is no Corporate governance that defines the Internet.  If a company ran the Internet, then there would be an entity on which to impose regulations.

    Be happy that no one ‘owns’ the Internet.  Otherwise, YouTube and every other bit of content would be subject to the very same regulations that are preventing 100% coverage for all content through Xbox.

  • http://twitter.com/TwistedxL3G3ND Ulysses Moreno

    Yes, because everything posted on facebook is absolutely important and you should care about it, everything except achievement updates and posting that you want to play a game with some one.

    Deal with it, this is just as “useless” as everything else posted on facebook.

    It seams like that Microsoft Portuguese Entertainment objectives is not alined with the Microsoft Global Entertainment objectives, hence the reason for such a poor performance in the country.

    The global branch might not even know that the country out classes most Internet connectivity, that includes fiber optics across the major cities.

    Yes, the competition is taking advantage of that. Almost any new Smart TV has at least you tube, some Portuguese content from the country broadcasters and new. Apple have been selling music here for ages. Now it is selling videos too.

    Lolol.

    Why are you building Xbox 360 to be like PC? It’s a gaming platform. Why don’t you focus on making better for gaming than anything else? I personally don’t wanna be charged for stuff I don’t use. I NEVER go to Video or Music Marketplace yet I pay for gold like all the others who do. If you wanna offer services like those you have listed at least give us the option to choose. I want to use Xbox only for gaming, nothing else.

  • http://www.facebook.com/CrimsonMonarch Carlos Nava

    Its not so much about whether you use them or not, since you dont thats your own loss obviously, cause you are right you are paying for some of that stuff, although technically not if you dont have netflix, then you’re really only paying for the gaming, so I don’t get where this thought of yours came from…

    majornelson FYI: The timing for Xbox 360 dashboard update has been slightly delayed. I’ll have a status update later today

  • http://www.facebook.com/j.a.w.s.85 J Triple Dash

    I agree with you sooo much!!! Ms needs to pull its finger out and remember that the 360 is a GAMES console. they need to support xbla games better and stop restricting devs from patching games. even in house games like full house poker are left to rot with game breaking     glitches. if we pay our subs and don’t use music or films from the dash then we should get some f2p game or a online game that can only be played if you have a sub. us gamers are being forgotten

    How do you figure you’re being charged for something you’re not using? You’re paying the same price, and new features were added. If they raised the price when the update launched I’d see your point but all you’re getting is more stuff for the same price. Why complain if it’s more for the same amount of money? People don’t make sense.

    If you were banned, there was probably a reason.
    When you joined Xbox you agreed to their terms of use, which allows them to ban you at any time.

    It is very disappointing to not get accurate information right away. Microsoft should focus more on its testing procedures and really learn to assess what street date are acurrate and stick with them. Yes, thing happen, but come on!

    Patiently waiting, but still dissappointed :(

    It has been delayed everywhere, it was suppose to come out at 7am Pacific/ 10am Eastern today, but was announced that it was delayed.  I am still hoping for today sometime, but we should know by this afternoon (Pacific time) when the update should be released.

  • Anonymous

    I wouldn’t care if MS wasn’t so specific. The update was just recently pushed back from late November to today. Then it’s tweeted by the honorable major Nelson that it will drop at 7:00 PT. If I was him I’d be pissed. “Thanks for the reliable info guys!” has got to be what he’s saying to the team.
    I guess my point is why was the announcement seemingly concrete up until hours before it was set to launch? What happened in the last 12 hours? If it was still planned last night to roll out this morning what made MS decide this morning to push it back? When will I get a transparent or reduced opacity menu so I can actually see all the images in a theme instead of a large solid square blocking it?

    So the new dash is delayed? You know if you guys would’ve had a beta maybe this wouldn’t have happ…oh wait.

  • Lee Rayson

    I’m in the beta, would you want them to roll out the update and possible brick your console? didn’t think so

    they will be doing last minute checks to roll out all at once across xbox live

    it not just as simple as a flick of a switch

    They never said a time when the update would come out bare that in mind

  • Anonymous

    First of all…I’m glad you asked me a question and then answered it for me.

    Second of all…your console hasn’t been bricked by it. No ones has…so stop being overly dramatic.

    And third of all it was just a joke. A sense of humor…look into getting one.

  • http://twitter.com/jtvcptsniper cptsniper

    what will come 1st x-mas or update?

  • Lee Rayson

    1st of all  your welcome.

    2nd of all  But they do warn you it may effect your console and they need to make sure it doesn’t effect people on a large scale.

    3rd of all that is no joke, a joke is meant to be funny

    You state everything as if you know it to be true and fact. If so when will we get the update? How do you really now it was a planned push back? I know they pushed it back once. Why set another date just to plan to push it back again? That cannot be good for PR which is one of Major Nelsons jobs. So to answer your pseudo question: yeah, I think he would be pissed.
    If he is just some corporate spokesman mouthpiece shill as you insinuate, wouldn’t the company keep him in the dark? What benefit would it serve them for him to know there nefarious (by your factual account) plan? It would be smarter to feed him info he believes to be true. Your logic is just flawed.

  • Anonymous

    First off, Steam was the first thing to use Cloud Storage, so obviously, they both ripped off Valve.

    Second, Xbox Live was around before PSN, and is an all around better service, you can chat outside of games with up to 8 people, and is more reliable (I.E. It doesn’t get hacked)

    Last, companies rip each other off all the time, it’s business, for example, Treyarch blatantly ripped off Halo, in the way that it had a Theater mode, and a File Share System. And The PlayStation Move is like the Wii in every way, but at least Microsoft came up with their own thing, and didn’t resort to ripping off the greatest video game company of all time.

    Um, sorry to pop your fanboy bubble but xbox is already hacked, and there are hacked consoles online right as we speak, the ps3 however, even if it is hacked, has no hacked consoles online right now on the psn. So obviously they are protecting their system better, no one system is better than the other, its pointless to argue that one is. They all have their ups and downs.

    Netflix was on 360 for almost a year before it hit ps3. It was the first console with it. So all you got left is your first in 3d movies, you can wear those stupid glasses, count me out.

    You get the update when MS realizes they have gotten mass effect, ahem, out of pushing it back. You think Major Nelson, THE MS flunkie doesn’t get a memo it was pushed back? Of course he does, it was probably done a week ago. It all gets the Internet’s nips all hard about something Xbox, thus doing what they wanted it to do. Get more press.

    Trust me, no nipples are getting hard. It’s just pissing people off and has a negative effect. Just because people are abuzz about something doesn’t mean it’s good for the product. This story is only followed by people actively using the console. It will not draw huge outside media attention only negative reaction and disdain from the active users and glee for Sony. Was Sony behind it’s own hacking to keep the PS3 in the spotlight? I think not.

    You’ll find that the update will be rolling out for users in some areas of the United States in just a few hours (read: today) and will continue throughout the next few days barring any giant holdups like we had this morning. Inside the update you’ll find that changes include gesture and speech-controlled navigation throughout the menus of the console, a comprehensive streaming media update for Xbox LIVE, and connectivity with a brand new Windows Phone controller app. You’ll certainly want to make this update come on through as soon as its available to you.

    Here’s more detail from MS: 
    “We apologize for the delay in launching the new Xbox 360 dashboard. We’re working through some deployment issues and within a few hours the first customers will begin to receive the update. Because customers in this first phase are not selected based on geography, we can’t specify which individual consoles will receive the update first. We share our customers’ excitement for the new dash and will provide an update as soon as possible.”

    hate to say it, but i think this is the worst update yet from a deployment
    perspective. maybe i just have sour grapes because i do not have it yet, but
    from a perception stand point it seems like MS is struggling to get this out. i
    also cringe at the coincidence that this is the first release with windows
    involved (a la the metro UI) and the roll out is not going well. maybe i am way
    over thinking it.

  • Tyler Murray

    Okay, there are some small hiccups with the sign in to xbox live, but this is the first day of the release and I am sure it will work out. Everyone is signing in at the same time so i am sure we are overloading something somewhere haha. I finally did get signed in and everything looks absolutely stunning. It takes just a few more seconds to load when you first start up the xbox, but the unified dashboard is very very fast and well organized. It honestly looks like the windows phone. I can’t wait to see the future apps that haven’t even been announced yet. The new netflix is way more organized. The kinect gestures and voice recognition are wonderful, and accurate for the most part regardless of who is giving xBox the commands. The bing search was accurate almost every time. Telling your xbox where to go couldn’t be more fun. Great work guys!

  • http://twitter.com/iMOBxFortney Alex Fortney

    okay

  • http://twitter.com/bluastana Diego

    Solution:  System > Settings > Network > Select your network > Configure Network > Additional Settings > restore to Factory defaults ….. restart your xbox > Connect to your network again, write your PW, and a Terms of Use window will pop up > Accept it > Congratz you’re on Xbox Live

  • Robert Allen

    this is also caused by the cloud service… as it will continuously look or try to update your saved games to the cloud if you so desire it too.. Something Im sure will be worked out sooner or later.. I was in the preview.. so I know this.. lol.. also your console might not shut down right away either … also another cloud issue..

  • http://www.killerrin.com killer rin

    Seriously Robert, take your time. It takes time to push updates to servers. It takes even more time for the console to see that “Hey I there is new firmware I can update to!” Because soo many people are getting the update at the same time, it normally puts a little strain on the datacenters.

    In short, Give it some Time!

    Some are saying that the update kicked in when they tried to play a game.

  • myke336

    Ok so, I’m not getting the update, all my friends have it. I can no longer join or create parties(it kicks me instantaneously), and now I can no longer sign in, meaning that I can’t play some of my arcade games to kill time or access some DLC. This is as bad, if not worse, than when Microsoft released the new Kinect dashboard: The GUI had a bright white color scheme that killed my eyes every time I pressed the guide button(especially after playing a game with dark lighting on a big TV), it was very laggy and it took forever for my list of downloaded titles or videos to load up for me to select, and it just all around made my xbox slower. Microsoft needs to give people the option to go back any previous dashboard, personally I thought the original 360 dashboard was the best. Either that or at least give us tweaking options that lets us change the color/scheme of the interface aside form just the background. I’m not even fond of Sony at all but the efficiency and user-friendliness of PS3′s XMB dashboard is beyond wonderful. I stayed quiet for the Kinect dashboard and the first initial XBE dashboard but this is ridiculous. I agree 100% with some of the other commenting individuals here. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” I appreciate Microsoft’s selflessness intentions to bring us great entertainment, but when it’s not beneficial, even to just one customer, people are bound to hear about it. I hate to complain on your blog Mr. Hyrb, but you are technically the king and face of XBL.

  • brsince85 brsince85

    Thanks…..so then that makes sense, if the Avatar props eventually get back to being seen again, good. I’m sure we can expect some bugs being it just launched. I would hope they would keep such a feature, otherwise there would really be no use for props at all. I also cannot access anything that requires Zune, without being signed out.

  • Robert Allen

    yeah it takes some getting use too.. but once you play around with it for a bit and realize some thing didnt need to be changed but unfortunely they where.. you’ll get use to it and appreciate the changes…

    Meet the “New Xbox Experience”…complete with not being able to sign into Xbox LIVE and AAA Titles being released with tons of bugs and glitches!

    So now, we’ve got console makers that can’t make consoles that don’t break…game developers that rush games so badly they hit the store shelves with tons of bugs and glitches (many of which NEVER get fixed), and too bad for people without internet that can’t get the patches/updates…and now we have online gaming services that can’t stay online.

    Why do I even still play video games?

    I’ve been playing video games since PONG…but I’m about to give up on my life long escape of happiness.

    The lack of quality control has just become way out of control.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1428395261 Tiuri Elvander

    I cannot believe that Kinect voice control is still restricted to certain locales!!! I had hoped this update, which includes much hyped voice control features, would have gotten rid of this stupid restriction. I don’t expect MS to support all languages, but give the people in unsupported locales at least the option to use English for voice control. It works perfectly fine as long as I’m not connected to Xbox Live, but the moment I connect to the Live service, voice control stops working. Major FAIL, Major Nelson, I’m sorry to say.

If there were/ are so any errors in the code, server etc. Then delay the whole think.. its rubbish to start this  update and stop your customers using the service due to error in the code, and at the same update the T&C with line saying no funds… RUBBISH

    Kinect voice search isn’t working. Also, was the killer app the Today show app? Cause that is the only new one available that works. As I thought, the E3 presentation involving Bing voice search was not a real thing. Crazy.

  • myke336

    Still no update, but can now login. But yet, I’ve heard nothing positive about this update, the only feature about the new dashboard that sounds even remotely enticing is the fact that we can have youtube later in December. I also heard that the bing feature is ‘NOTHING’ like what one would perceive it; it’s basically a feature that searches the Xbox only not the internet; we’ve been doing all along with decent efficiency. But bing, Google, Youtube, Internet browsing, I’ve got my iPhone and iPad for that.(good for me yeah?) I also just heard that the party feature from netflix has been scrapped and isn’t available anymore from several friends. Neflix party was one feature I loved about Xbox. Now that I think about it, I don’t even what the update, so please keep it away from my Xbox thank you.

    I understand that you cant use swedish with the voice control but why cant I use English here in Sweden? Sweden is one of the best countrys in the world when it comes to having English as your second language. You can use english with iPhones Siri here in Sweden so why shouldn’t it work with Kinect? Give us the option to use english please.

    @majornelson
    So, after playing about with the new Xbox dashboard, here are my thoughts. What is the point in Bing search? You can’t actually go on the internet, all you can do is search for content related to your console. If you have to search for things this way to make it easier, that must mean the layout is to complicated and need’s simplifying. Why can we not customise what tabs we actually want? I don’t really care too much for videos and live tv. I want to be able to remove these and have a more streamlined interface that suits my needs as a gamer. It all seems too clutttered, and the fact that all the main tiles cover up any theme pictures you have is terrible. But, it’s not all bad. I do love the fact I can use my Lovefilm account, and Last FM.

The marketplace is complete hell to navigate now.  Some one asked the question whats the point of bing search? Simple, it is such a cluster #$%# of a mess that the creators could not even figure how to navigate this craptastic ad fest.  Can you guys do me a favor and add Ad Blocker to the upcoming apps list?

    The new design is okay, I can get used to it and there are some neat additions (beacons, cloud saves, more apps and the apps marketplace etc’), but there is one specific thing that is missing and -really- annoys me, the option to sort out only the “full games” I have, this option got removed so now I have to look through the tens of demos I have on my hard disc when looking for a game, please bring it back!

    The new dashboard is OKAY. The only thing I couldnt stand was that whole excitement before it was even out yet !  I dont know why M$ are trying to make Xbox look like PS3 with this whole YouTube integration, TV and all other stuff which is not related to gaming. I hope as the new year starts they’ll concentrate more on gaming rather than unnecessary stuff. Hopefully they’ll do something about people who carry on boosting on certain games.

    I’ve been playing with the update tonight here and overall i think it’s pretty good. Pity voice search in bing doesn’t work in Australia.

    1. There’s no easy way to see how many Microsoft points I have.  Given the FIFA debacle, that’s a bit of a head-scratcher.  I shouldn’t have to attempt to buy something, or dig through my account settings to double check my points.

    2. Non-social apps, like Today and Hulu Plus, don’t use my display settings.  Instead, they display as standard definition, stretched out and grainy.

    Hey Larry,

    Great job with the new update.  Everything looks pretty good.  The only major gripe I have is with the Netflix app.  The way it is currently set up, when you go to a TV show and want to watch a specific episode, selecting that show will instantly bring you to the episode.  I would love it if there was an episode selection screen that we could get to (similar to how it was before the update) and not instantly to some random episode.  

    Thanks!

    I love the new look…  Its refreshing.. Love how the Xbox now immediately tells you how many friends are online as soon as you sign in, and whenever another friend signs in the Xbox immediately alerts you with no 5-10 second delay like before. 

    Still, it seems this update was not ready to be released.  All kinds of issues occured on release day, such as the 6+ hour delay, sign in issues, some apps still not working (Epix), and a lot of apps are not even available on launch that I thought were supposed to be.. I dont get the Xfinity and FiOS intergration thats coming soon., I dont see anyone really using these apps unless theyre away from home OR if they could watch Xfinity or FiOS TV WITHOUT being one of their internet subscribers.. It just doesnt make sense to watch limited TV channels and programming through your Xbox when you can get 100% channels and functionality from your Cable Box.. Only thing I see useful here is the Xbox being a separate storage location for VOD content. But if im not seeing something here let me know..

    All good but the Netflix app is just weird/bad now.  I found myself cursing the thing more than once last night.  Points for effort but it seems unfinished?  Also, it’s very laggy with all of the titles visible.  The controls aren’t nearly as good either. L/R and L/R trigger buttons are mostly useless now.  I found myself having backed completely out of a video trying to get the ff/play/pause/rr overlay off the screen.  I can live with the new look overall but the in-video functionality is pretty annoying.

    As far everything else? <3 it!

    Well the point is, you are taken instantly into it.  It’s like diving into a pool.  You take a breath, then dive.  The new way skips the breath part and you just end up in the pool.

    I like to watch How It’s Made.  Now when I select the title, I get taken right into an episode.  I have to wait through a laggy experience to find the one I actually want to watch.  I’d like a choice to resume the next or unfinished episode.

    It’s a jolting experience I’m not too keen on.  That’s my ONLY gripe with the update.  Ironically that Netflix app wasn’t part of the beta.  I don’t get that?

    Well — you can get access to Xfinity even if you don’t have comcast cable TV service. So for me this is a win. Just one more way I can watch TV… Unless of course they don’t fix Netflix in which case they cancel each other out.

    It’s all categorized.  I don’t even notice the ads honestly.  I know where all of my stuff is.  There is a learning curve but you have to understand this is the direction MS is going with EVERYTHING.  Windows 8, Windows Phone, XBox will all be integrated to some degree.  Once you use it for a while you forget you had to learn something new. :)

    when’s all the extras coming? (YouTube, UFC, HBOGO) thought that’s what the update was supposed to bring? New dashboard is great if you have kinect not so great if you don’t. thought the beacon thing was cool tell it started using it. How do you turn it off? Don’t really need to know when some signs on to XBL and when they start playing the same game as me “majornelson has started playing MW3″ yeah great idea if you have like 10 people on your friends list. Was pretty cool being kicked off XBL for 2 hours last night while it tried to update but wouldn’t allow the update then when finally did wouldn’t allow me to sign in, was awesome. SMH. EPiX? Like a Netflix? That why making Netflix lag so much so we have to switch? But wait its not working. Servers are down for it? Questions upon questions thought Xbox Live wasn’t supposed to lag that’s why we pay for it every month. Xbox step your game up or lower uour subscription price

    Mr. Hryb,

    I am deeply upset.  Yesterday when the update was still in the process of going up I tried testing out Zune, to see what the new updates brought to it and…well, it said Zune was unavailable.  Nothing loaded at all so I decided to go the dashboard and try it again.  When I got back to the dashboard, my account was gone, deleted.  And I said “Ah, perfect time to use the new “Download Profile feature!”  Unfortunately, due to the awful progress on this update, I am still unable to recover my account.  Now, I’m stuck off Xbox Live until who knows when…

    P.S. What’s with the Netflix downgrade?

    Ok, I hate to sound all bashing of this, but I have quite a few problems with this dashboard.  1st, where is the options to buy indie games?  Am I just missing it?  I hope so.
    second, why does the screen have to be so big it covers my background?  Why bother getting one?
    Connections issues?  I’m not the only one who is constantly not able to connect and getting disconnected.
    And mostly, why not just “streamline” the one you had, it was fine… grrrr.

    So I’ve had a play with the new dash, and while it looks pretty enough I think the Xbox TV stuff is pretty weak. Having each service as it’s own – slow to load – app, seems silly. I don’t have to wait to access content from different providers on my TiVo, it’s just all there and available near instantly.

    I had thought it would all be seamlessly integrated into one interface, but sadly I was wrong.

    The launch line-up in the UK is dreadful too. We get the same, unchanged Sky rubbish from Murdoch, all in brutally low-resolution. And LoveFilm, also known as the very, very, very poor man’s Netflix. Dreadful selection of content and again, in picture quality so low it would embarrass a 20th generation VHS pirate copy.   I’m stunned you didn’t launch with BBC iPlayer. If anything should have been your no.1 priority, it’s iPlayer. Sony has a really nice iPlayer app on PS3 now, which streams in HD and works fairly well, although like the Xbox stuff it’s hidden away in an app which takes forever to load.

    Also it’s hard to find stuff on the games marketplace now. It’s all jumbled up together.

    Oh and ads, FFS, get rids of the ads. I pay for this service, I don’t want to see any ads, EVER.

    I know you’re getting a ton of questions and comments, but is there any talk of adding DVD kinect voice control?  I googled it, but couldn’t find much on it.

  • http://twitter.com/jplusmplusk Jesse M. Knudsen

    I’m glad Microsoft doesn’t listen to all the haters on here regarding the new dash. IMO, the previous dash was super cluttered, disorganized, bloated and just slow. It needed a total reinvention, and having just purchased a Kinect a few weeks ago, I can actually say this new dash is the reason I purchased it. The ability to navigate the dash with explicit voice controls just rocks. The new dash is quite fast and easily organized now. Far less clutter. While it is a shame that the Netflix app got significantly worse (especially compared to the great Netflix Playstation app), Netflix itself seems to be going downhill really fast anyway. My biggest problem with Xbox LIVE has always been the ads. This is a paid service, and we should have it ad-free. Advertise to the Silver members. I don’t really like begin advertised to about soda, shaving products, cars and whatnot. If you’re going to advertise, keep it relevant. This is a gaming console, not TV or the web. Advertise more DLC, more games, stuff that we’re clearly already interested in. Other than that, the new dash is great and I’m glad we have it. Just give it time people. Many people hated the previous dash when it was first released as well. And for all the people hating on the new one, you guys are not the majority, you’re just screaming the loudest. I wasn’t going to initially post, but I figured that people like me, in the silent majority regarding this, needed to be heard from as well. Good work, Microsoft.  

  • http://twitter.com/TehChrisReed Chris Reed

    I personally have a night and day feeling about the new dash.  It’s complete bliss to use with Kinect, it’s as close as we have come to Star Trek technology at home.  “Enterprise, run voice scan” vs “Xbox, play Netflix”.  My opinion completely changes when using a controller.  It becomes slow and cumbersome and I can understand the hate for it.  It becomes slightly easier with a remote, but even then it’s a pain. This update should have been optional for those without Kinect, plain and simple.

  • http://twitter.com/adlangx adlangx

    Putting advertisements as the front and center metro tile was a terrible design choice. The ad’s should be around the edges and the content that I use daily should be the primary tile. This design has immediately given users a bad impression of metro style dashboards and will sour them to the look and feel right out of the gate. Users never want to feel that they are paying to be advertised to.

    My one major complaint about the dashboard is it greatly reduces the visibility and utility of avatars. Why is your avatar so small at first now and why do they have to jump forward? Why can’t you see your props any more on the main dashboard? Burying props two screens in makes them almost worthless now and no longer worth purchasing.

    The new dashboard SUCKS for all reasons people probably already presented in some of the previous 1279 comments. This is the first time I sincerely feel disappointed with the dash change, and I’ve been around since the Age of Blades.

    i love the update but epix asks for the 6 digit code over and over and wont let me watch content but i can on pc

  • brindon clary

    the new dashboard sucks, the update broke my Xbox and almost every microsoft support web site is down and I can’t fix it. I think I’m about done with microsoft.

  • Kirk Richardson

    I agree with all the negative comments below on the new “experience”.  More ads?  Really?  The new Netflix navigation sucks completely.  As someone mentioned earlier, the props you paid money for on your avatar are now useless.  The navigation – even via Kinect – blows.  Put a checkbox in the “MS Fail” box.

    I’m also not a fan of this new design. It’s too cluttered and messy. It’s designed to be easier to use with Kinect, but not with a controller. You’ve made certain functions more complicated now for no reason. (And when I say you…I don’t mean Major Nelson, I mean MS). I liked the last “NXE” dashboard, I always liked it over the original “blades” dashboard. But this new dashboard is very disappointing.

    And another complaint!   My XBox 360 titles that I’ve downloaded can’t be sorted separately?  If there’s a way other than cycling through my 200+ titles to get to a specific letter of the game I want, please tell me. 
    I HATE THIS UPDATE WITH ALL MY HEART!!!!!  :-P

    bad design for a controller, great if i had a kinect . Kinect won’t WORK FOR ME ! I have only 2 feet of space in front of my TV. And I will not pay 100 bucks just to get voice navigation. So I have to say thanks but no thanks. Also a lot of things have just really been made more difficult. Where are my games I downloaded and haven’t played in a while? Do i really have to wade through all my files alphabetically?

I do wonder if Netflix will be thrilled to see that they lose customers due to this ruined mess as I only stream from Xbox  and looking at it now, I won’t be using it anymore either.

  • Laurence Weir

    I am tired of MS gimping my console because I don’t like playing online with other people.  I understand it’s legitimate to charge to get a good online experience, considering the load top games put on servers.  However, my next console purchase will not be a MS because it seems they want to screw me out of £30 a year to make my console act like a media player….something I can get my computer to do for free.

    Please can we have multimedia functionality for free.  This only makes your console a better purchase, and will not get you a fraction less Gold subscriptions!

    Isnt it good that all the people complaining about the new dashboard have given themselves time to learn how to navigate and use it… 
    OH wait, They Haven’t.

    Back when NXE dash was released everyone reacted the same way screaming bring back the blades, why fix whats not broken, etc,etc.
    But in time people got used to the NXE Dash and the complaining ceased.

    I’ve been part of the preview program and have to admit for the first couple of days it was a pain, navigating and finding what I wanted, but then as I got more used to the Metro Dash I was able to find things with ease and now really enjoy the new system.

    Those who remeber the Blade Dash, the new Metro is very similar in the way it operates, instead of blades you now have Hubs, navigation between the hubs is quickly done via the L/R bumper buttons and instead of being presented with a list as you was on the old Blade system you now have windows which contain the content.

    There are are 6 TRUE small  Advertisment windows, the big windows are more for information, for example in the TV Hub the big window shows whats on your Default TV provider, in games the Big window shows what DLC is available. They are not true advertisments as they are just informing you of whats available on the Live network.

    The Metro Dash isn’t perfect, then again NXE and the Blades Dash wasn’t, but in Spring/Summer and then next winter there will most likley be more dashboard updates which will tweak how the Metro Dash operates.

    At the end of the day if you REALLY HATE the dash the solution is simple, set you xbox to auto play discs in the setting, that way you can use the trusty guide button to access parties and beacons etc and you dont have to bother with the Metro Dash at all.

  • http://twitter.com/NathanielFrost1 Nathaniel Frost

    You’re entitled to your opinion, as is everyone else. I’m in the preview too, and most of the gripes I have, and have seen voiced in public forums are similar. Little tweaks to the dash, like which button ejects the disk, changes to the Netflix app that seem to downgrade its functions, and the prominence of ads are issues MS should listen to the community about.
    I think you’re right; maybe later on they’ll will make more improvements, and in time it may even be revered. Right now, though, it does need work.

    I thought the new dash was supposed to save time and be less restrictive? I’m having to spend more time in the menus because of the poor layout and why when I go to games/demos/dlc/videos etc it lists them from top rated then I have to change it to release date to see whats new THEN if I back out then go back in its back to top rated?  If I change a setting it should stay changed!! this new menu is not going to help xbla sales because its near impossible to find new content. and why is there 3 other peoples avatars next to mine in the menu? if I want to see my friends then I will go to my friends list. its all a mess

    This dashboard is the worst of all.
    It’s confusing, full of advertisement (even offline), the main function are ina a tiny corner (are you serioes?)  the navigation in game library is a joke, you cannot see the full games ect.

    Browsing the achievements is less enjoyable than before, the themes are all ruined by the darker gray, avatars are too small compared to before, and on SDTV, the text is too tiny.

    I don’t know who thought that wasting 70% of screen space was a good idea…

    Now even the PS3 dashboard is better than this.
    Please fix this mess of dashboard.

    For my GAMING system, I do not want, nor do I need to learn a new method of getting my content constantly, and if I have to “get used to it” then there’s something that is counterintuitive and flat out wrong with the layout. 
    This layout is just flat out awful.  Whoever thought of it certainly did not have gaming in mind.  This new layout is beyond confusing.  I now have to take extra steps in order to just get to my arcade games, and it only shows five at a time?  I’ve got over 200 titles.  This is a pain.  The old system worked and wasn’t nearly as confusing.
    The last thing you ever want to hear someone say is “once you get used to it….”  when this is said, it means that navigation is now work and requires too much investigation.  I want to go where I want, without having to wade through constant menu options and 50,000 advertisements. 
    Bottom line is that this new layout is garbage, it’s confusing, and it’s counterintuitive.  If they were smart, they’d come out and say “Sorry, we were wrong!  we’ll streamline the old one with some new options, but give your control back.”.

  • Joao Ferreira

    The Portuguese Xbox community is outraged by the lack of content they receive in comparison to US or Uk accounts and on top of that we pay 59€ for 12 months about 15 € more than Uk accounts. Xbox Portugal have the most unprofessional and incompetent personnel I have ever seen they don´t even know what their main audience is (Offering on Facebook tickets to twilight for example), publicity is non existent, game prices are as high as 70€, stores despise the brand leaving Xbox products with minimum visibility ( Playstation 3 has enormous space as well as Nintendo and only a small number of shelves for Microsoft with only  6 or 7 xbox games at ridiculous prices like Timeshift for 59,99 € a game that is already out for 3 or 4 years), dashboard in Brazilian instead of English which is preferred for many Portuguese users and other examples which I cant remember at this moment. The ridiculously low number in sales is fully credited by the work that the small community has been doing all these years, but we are rowing tired of doing the work of your incompetent Portuguese collaborators, some of our community members have said that in the next generation they will be forced to buy Sony. I am really desapointed by the low number of Hardcore games being presented in the current catalog of Microsoft as well, HARCORE GAMERS DON´T LIKE KINECT get over it.
    HARDCORE GAMERS have been your custumers since the beginning, and this E3 was laughable the worst conference in E3 history.
    Microsoft deal with the Portuguese incompetent team and drop the excessive kinect support.

    I can understand why some countries lack some features, there may be some licencing issues and other legal issues. What I don’t understand why the price is the same in all countries if the service isn’t the same.

    If a given country cant have Music, Video, TV, Youtube, Daillymotion, SOFTWARE IN THE NATIVE LANGUAGE, HBO, ESPN, Zune Marketplace, etc etc.. why do you charge the same amount as if they could have??

    Good job ms. I dont know why everyone is complaining so much before they even give it a chance. I think it is much more user friendly. The only complaint is why do you commercialize on the dashboard so much. We all realize that you guys want money but its getting a little overboard on the billboards. More content and less commercials. After a while of too much advertising on the dashboard SMART people will have enough. Too much of a bad thing isnt ever good.

    i live in portugal ,and i´m very dissapionted,with the live service in my country.
    no movies,no tv series,no youtube,no nothing.
    i pay 60 euros only for play online,a few demos, a few game videos and thats it.
    i think i will stop my gold service next year,and sell my xbox and buy a ps3.
    at least in portugal you dont hve much services in ps network ,but at least its free.
    to pay 60 euros per year to play online,it sucks!
    i think you major nelson or someone should check the xbox live service in portugal ,and try to make it worth to be be a xbox live user in portugal.
    i´m very sad about it.
    if xbox live doesn´t change in portugal next year or if microsoft ,doesn´t do anything ,i will sell my xbox ,quit xbox live gold service ,and buy a ps3 ,at least its free,and have a few more features.
    merry christmas.
    ps: i´m very seriuos about it ,you should do something about xbox live in my country.

    Please, lost a little time reading this … I know it’s a little long, but it’s important for a lot of people of your community – that’s what Xbox Players should be.

    The new Dashboard is great, but … I just need to ask: Why you (Xbox) accepted my inscription on the Preview if I cannot participate on it? I just have a blank channel in my console … and it seems is until the next year.

    Why? Because I have a Portuguese account. I pay more for the Live than the other players of other countries, for less content.
    I know that the other people in year will be tired of all this comments about Portuguese lack of content, but please, you should understand our position: we all are part of the same community. Imagine that you don’t have Indie Games, 99% of the new Apps that will be included soon, 100% of the content you already had, etc.I really can understand the absence of the Dashboard in Portuguese from Portugal (the real Portuguese, not the Brazilian) since Brazilian people are more than 190X more than us, but what I can’t really get is why we don’t have the same, or at least, a lot more content like the other players who like us pay for the Live Account (less actually), for the games (less again), and accessories (imagine … less).here in Portugal PlayStation is King, and Nintendo is growing a lot since it is represented by Nintendo itself … but Xbox seems to give up of our market. No pub, no content, no promotion events, nothing … and now, even us, the players are being putted aside (well, this is not completely true since we have less content since ever).Thanks for your attention.

    In other words…. THIS UPDATE SUCKS.

    What a joke Netflix is officially the worst on any device, used to like it more then my Roku player, but now that you start show’s automatically and it’s slower then dial up, that should be removed. I like the interface, but auto starting show’s and the slowness is just annoying. Also the advertisements are a slap in the face to your users, every tab has one, when I use bing i get some, Gold members pay 60 bucks a year or more to play online, and with game companies charging 10 bucks now. Your gold deal of the week was never enough to justify 60 bucks vs. free on the PS3, deal of the week is a stretch. I might get lucky and you’ll discount something that’s been out for a year and i haven’t already gotten it. so deal of the year is more accurate, now you’ve got ads littering the dashboard and search results. All you did was give us a new interface, and screw up the Netflix app. Other then that 6 years as a gold member plus hundreds of dollars in add ons and games, will be gone when the PS4 beats your 720 or 360 2 or Xbox 3! Whatever you call it, the PSN is becoming just as good and in some ways better then Xbox live, you better come up with something better then Kinect and an old discounted game once a week to keep people with you. THROW US A FEW MORE ADS AND MESS UP THE APPS EVEN MORE, AND SEE WHERE YOUR LOYAL FANS GO WHEN THE NEW CONSOLES COME OUT.
