New Xbox Dashboard update

Just got the Xbox dashboard update, and man it's sweet. Everything is crisp and clean looking. It's all separated into these groups at the top of the screen (Social, Apps, Music, Video, Games etc.) and then underneath is a big square made of little square of all the options and apps.



They've also added a thing called 'Beacons and Activity' under the Xbox popup menu, it let's you see what games your friends have recently played or who's playing what you're playing. It also let's you send a 'Beacon' which notifies facebook friends that you want to play a certain game. 

One of the most amazing things I've seen though is under the Apps tab, listed under 'Coming Soon'... YOUTUBE. We'll finally be getting YouTube! Along with ESPN, SyFy and a bunch of other sweet channels. 

The new dashboard looks intimidating and foreign at first but I'm sure it just requires some getting-used to, the new Bing search bar tab can also make things a lot easier. So get that update and have fun. Happy Hunting!
