   Looks as though they are trying to make it look like Windows 8.

         Yeah, they’re implementing the Metro Design into it, just like WP7, and Windows 8.

   Ugh, I hate that you still can’t remove things that you don’t use from the menu that you don’t want (eg videos, community)…

   Looks absolutely hideous, helped not at all by the Quick play button animation at 0:23. Even replacing the white squares with covers, it’d look awful.

   Xbox fan here, and I don’t mind change (always liked the current interface over the blades), but this isn’t at all aesthetically pleasing.

   — I don’t know why they can’t let us keep the older UI’s and have Xbox Live updates, if we could choose our favourites they’d get a lot less complaints.

      Because backwards comparability coding is time consuming and costs dollars.

   I read that Microsoft is trying to make all platforms run the same way/look the same.

   e.g. Windows 8 for PC, Phones and Xbox

   As some of you have said. . . yes, MS are implementing the Metro look and functionality across all platforms. PC, Tablets, Phones, Xbox. . . and they will all be synchronised and harmonious in teh cloud.

    I miss that old dashboard. back when it was blades that you could customize and everything was quick an easy to get to.
    Ive used windows8 dev preview Ive had a look through the 7 phone. and I gotta say I dont like the metro style. I prefer menus, lists and swooshing sounds. but that is my opinion. and will be dismissed quite quickly and life will go on. also… Bing is that meaning Microsoft wish to break free from there closed network style and employ browsers that will possibly provide a threat. I know how paranoid that sounds but really I have been used to it for years and it helps me think the networks a bit more secure. or are we really that lazy to go to the a-z list to find a game title.

    Or am i really crazy and Im way to afraid of change
