Xbox 360 Getting a 3D Dashboard Make-Over?

green6513d ago

I know Microsoft has something up their sleeves concerning live especially since there was no spring update.Exactly what it is will be a mystery till E3.

What Kotaku is reporting sounds really interesting and if implemented properly with a good motion controller then i will be all up for it.

meepmoopmeep6513d ago (Edited 6513d ago )

did you get this feature Day 1 as well predator? It should have been on launch right?

lol, anyway, cool that platforms are evolving with new features.
more proof of a motion control i guess.

something to look forward to in E3...yea..let the party begin...

Did you get XMB or Trophies on day 1, should have been at launch right?

meepmoopmeep6513d ago (Edited 6513d ago )

lol, take it easy, i'm referencing a post he made in the past.
you wouldn't understand my comment unless you've read it.

i never said anything about Day 1 stuff on the PS3.
i think it's great that there are updates and features coming on all platforms.

BTW. XMB is the OS, that's a Day 1. the others, no.

EDIT: i'm not talking about In-Game XMB. But XMB is the OS.

i wonder how the 360 would handle it? its already laggy with the current dashboard let alone a 3d one!

power of Green 6513d ago (Edited 6513d ago )

Now I will also be getting the motion controller(Is Motion tech the game changer MSFT was talking about?).

The next update will be so grand MSFT will have to make user guide video's and release them for download(why do you think Sony has been annoncing all these mondane features years old for *desperate attempt to steal MSFT's thunder*.

@1.2, If this is true MSFT will be the comapany pioneering the 3D interface on consoles, what you said doesn't make any sense MSFT did not wait for Sony or Nintendo to test the waters with this idea making sure it is successful before they implement it.

Jim Crowslaw6513d ago

get out while u still can....theyre goin to tear u up in here. but ima giv Jason, Crab, POG and a few others some bubbles. Eventhough i love Sony to death, the majority of Pro-MFST fans make great arguments and i will hate to see the voiced muted by bubbles deletion just cuz of some sony fanboy.

"3d interface on consoles"
....HOME? 0_o
edit: it sounds great but wouldnt having to use motion controls to navigate the dashboard and then have to switch to the 360 controller for games get annoying after a while?

DontH8DPlayaH8DConsl6513d ago (Edited 6513d ago )

like 4 months ago to be coming out this year using the pseye or the six axis controls. It was called playstation ice or something like that.

Kotaku Writes:

"The rumored Xbox 360 Spring Update might not have hit yet" Isn't it summer now? I thought microsoft said there would be no spring update. They're trying to devert attention from 2.4

Silver3606513d ago

What is with all the hate going on here. especially from those that don't have a 360 or a PS3? That is trifling. Anyway I am looking forward to both 2.40 and the 3d dashboard. Good times for those that own both systems.

Yes I find that interesting too, maybe they felt they needed to diffuse the whole, PSN is now almost equal to LIVE and free.

Anyway, even if it isn't, it's a weird thign to speculate about, why not speculate about great games coming, I think the dashboard update (or lack of it) is just something people will have to put up with.

plenty a tool6512d ago

i think your being more than generous with the almost as good as live. the psn is getting there, but it aint almost as good. the thing is, and something alot of sony fanboys dont realise, people with 360's dont go mad for updates because everything you lot are getting now, has been in the xbox since 03 and the 360 since launch.

all this "omg wow it's like totally amazing 2.40" is nothing to 360 owners, and just means your getting some features that hve been around since 03 as i've already said.

and your saying this compared to what? ps3's dash? they both get the job done. but people always have to add that little jab about the other consoles good news. why can't it just be what it is, 360 dashboard news. why does the ps3 have to be better. or the 360 dash is cluttered, or this and that. when i turn on my ps3 or 360 the last thing i think about is, gee this is really not that good for navigating. petty ass people on this site. it's making me sic.

PS360PCROCKS6512d ago

here let me rephrase. Your opinion is a obviously one sided comment with no knowledge of the 360's interface. THAT is why i said what I said, anyone who thinks the 360 is "cluttered" doesn't know what their talking about. It's 5 labeled blades for gods sake.

Ghoul6512d ago

i have a 360 (for 2 years now) and i do know what im talking about, as i said before and maybe THIS time you listen to me

the 360 dashboard is EASY to use but bad designed, and with ms changing the buttons positions on the go with the firware updates i find it very cluttered to many submenus to many colors and graphics around the typo.

interface is easy to use and bad on the eyes

GOT it this time ?

Despite MSFT's rumored motion controller gamers need to be excited about MSFT's motion technoligy in general.

I remember Bill Gates saying they were intrested *or* working on motion that was so advanced it can read body movement in detail and it could scan objects as gaming tools vs just the motion controller.

A statement by Shane Kim was made that due to hearing about the Minority Report system rumored to hit the PLAYSTATION®3 utilizing the PSEye it made Microsoft Corp. go back to the "Jump In" mentality again. The inclusion of Avatars is just the beginning for Microsoft to add its rivals features and Shane Kim has stated that a PLAYSTATION® Home clone feature will be announced in the near future.

Xbox zealots are always complaining about Sony and it's continuous updates to make the XMB and PSN better with every update by adding new features. They scream about "Well, we had that since Day 1" Seems like they have no problem when Microsoft adds new features after launch though.

Yup, this should be a nice update. I have really enjoyed watching how XBL has grown and tweaked itself into what it is today. I am still undecided about the motion controller, but time will tell. Another thing that is neat, is that look how much companies are listening to what the gamers want. I am remember a few months after the 360 launched gamers wanted to be able to do other things while they downloadedmovies, demos, etc; along with a few more highly wanted tweaks. Walla, a few months later there was an update. And now to see the 2.4 update for the PSN, these companies are really listening to the consumer. Keep it up...

spandexxking6513d ago

tweaked? dont you mean clogged? all of these new updates just seem to make my 360's dash very laggy.

Sayai jin6513d ago

Yeah, your comment about how you often complain about the 360 and the fact that you have only two games on your gamertag. Theres nothing wring with having a preference, but I do not understand why you still own a 360 if you complain about it so much. I was get rid of it and use the money to buy some of the big games for the PS3 or now the new controller that finally made its way to Europe. I got mine.
Oh, that sucks bout the laggy dashboard. Yes, there maybe other reasons why it is laggy (hardware you say yourself), but if you have a crappy ISP it would cause the dashboard and XBL itself to run slower. They are directly related.

This always happens with something new on the PS3. Sony releases something, microcrap 2 hours later makes a statement claiming some game is better than that game for the PS3. Now their doing it with updates. They are such sore losers its not even funny. You never see Sony ripping on a halo launch, or a gears launch. Sony actually likes to make fair competition. Microcrap would sell your grandmas coffin for a pack of cigs if it was up to them. Plus that Cliffy B retard started to talk about how MGS4 is pretty much child's play to Gears. He acts as if his games are the god of all video games. People at microsoft are just to shady to trust. I bet that Cliffy B douche is under the pay roll of microsoft.

Actually Kotaku's 360 did rrod at one point of time. There was article about it long time ago. However, I agree that they seem to be bashing sony and the ps3 all the time.

Also I think they are Nintendo fanboys. They never bash the wii.

Nice....if this is true, MS will change the game again.

themyk6513d ago

change the game again? really.
sony has already stated that they can do this with the pseye. and they have been working on it.

so micro is copying the wii remote and copying sonys "minority report" style interface. not to mention copying sonys avatar and home thingy.

before everybody jumps all over me, i know thats the name of the game. just don't act like they came up with this crap.

Right. Cuz if anyone can help the 360 beat the PS3, it's Tom Cruise and the team that brought you Minority Report.

Its just a rumor....this could all turn out to be pure speculation like 95% of most of the rumors posted on n4g.

ha ha but whats interesting is the ovewhelming need of sony loyalists to downplay anything that could be potentially positive for the 360, comments about Kotaku being biased, yet when they were doing tons of RROD stories they were fine,

then comments like "its gimmicky" which of course that *might be true, still it won't effect those who think so 'cause its OPTIONAL, ha ha one sdf member actually claimed the 360 dashboard is too "confusing", lmfao I'm seriously wondering if he ever even touched a 360 controller?, oh and lets not forget the well thought out observation by one sdf member who stated the dashboard itself is "laggy"= thats classic n4g material for you, uhm its just so hilarious reading what some will come up with in a TRANSPARENT attempt to push their obvious agenda.

assasshin6513d ago

I personally prefer the XBL blades over my PS3's XMB for its ease of use. There's just so much scrolling needed on the XMB, however i love the fact that its customizable. A 3d interface with motion sensing would definitely be awesome. BTW, i do occasionally experience lag on the market place however PSN is even worse. I would blame that on my ISP though and the fact that im wirelessly connected.

Microsoft has said already that the will be no more dashboard changes.
They dont need to change the look of the dashboard because its already looking good as it is..;)

And its filled with useless advertisments right when you log in. You cant think of anything to change? Are you kidding me? The guide is just a flat disaster.

360 got customizable face plates; Ps3 got customizable interface. Ill take the Ps3.

the 360 interface down right pisses me off.

right 'And its filled with useless advertisments right when you log in...' Hang on this is what really happends. turning on my xbox. auto sign in happends. i can see going from top to bottem, my profile, inside xbox, freinds & messages,chat and instant messenger, to the right of that it tells me what games have come out this week, rockband live content, open tray. hmmm lots of advertising. NOT!

right lets try 'It takes like 9 different menus to get to your demos'
here we go.
1) 1 blade to the right
2) go down 1 to game library and press A
3) press A on my games
and their you go your demos in 3 menus. so the point you made about taking 9 menus to get to your demos is utter ballsh1t. and the advertising point you made well tht is aswell. i get 2 at max and that only happends on the xbox live and marketplace blades. so your arguments are worthless.

if it pisses you off... well thats your opinion and i respect that but please talk facts before the droid half of you takes over. ok?

Looks like the 360 is the console that is truely "future proof"

but whoever photoshopped that minority report pic gets a kudos from me:)

Sounds like a great update...although I'm concerned about having "to buy" a controller to utilize the interface. I suppose it's one way to guarantee the sucksess of this "motion controller". I love my 360, I'm a huge proponent. But, this is a bit over the top even for me.

I don't think I'm a fan of this idea at all...the motion controller and the GUI. The GUI has to be perfect, and the motion control smacks of garbage.

please tell me that original post was sarcasm?

Watching fanboys fight over which console interface is better is priceless.

I bet this is the vista version of 3d... if you have it then you know what I'm talking about i forget the name and any console could do this.

JasonPC360PS3Wii6512d ago

great name, funny as hell

Ali_The_Brit6512d ago

haha motion controls

wii has it as a main function
PS3 has it built into both there official controllers

now MS is trying to copy the big boys

u got owned6512d ago

Yep, the same way Sony is copying achievements and live. Don't be blind they all do the same.

KatanaSteel6512d ago

A coincidence that Kotaku publishes this article on the launch day of the PS3 firmware v2.40?

I think not...

One little sniff of good Xbox360 news and P.O.G. comes charging with Guns blazing. Go back in your hole fanboy. Xbox is playing catch up now. Learn it live it love it. = )
