You clearly don't own the current dash if your pretending it's anywhere close to sluggish and ad riddled when there is simply a small box that says ad that you literally have to click on to see the ad.
But nice try though..
I'd honestly use Facebook and Twitter through my 36 mostly to see the pics. But, if your already watching TV or on your Xbox it is a simple way to check your stuff without opening turning on your desktop or laptop.

lol smartglass? If you're holding a tablet, cut out the freaking middleman; why would you use FB with the 360 at that point?
Lol..show me an iphone or tablet as big as my 65inch HDTV and you'd have a point.
In fact, I even have a Huge Flat screen in my bedroom so I can game right from bed. When I wake up I lazily check Facebook etc from my phone. Now I still can do that and have the option to do it over the big screen.
All from an u...
I'd rather use Facebook on my phone. Which is why Smart Glass makes more sense for Facebook and Twitter than the apps do.
Not many people by that chat controller add-on. I never needed it because I rarely need to use much text. But now I can use my I-phone or a tablet it'll make 100 times more sense.
Look forward to the Smart Glass upgrade to see if it will all work as smooth as smart phones do

'Also, what's the point of using Kinect if you have to pick up the controller to type any text to go to websites and whatnot?'
Whats the use of using Kinect when I can use my Iphone w/ Smart Glass to control explorer..already better than any console surfing that's come thus far.
PS3 had it from day one, but anybody who had it knows why we were all excited Youtube finally got it's own app. If IE9 has better streaming then its a wrap.
'What does Windows 8 and Microsoft Surface have anything to do with Xbox?
How desperate can you get.
You did read that it says "Xbox", right'
LOL @ desperate..you did read the actual ARTICLE right?
Which is refers not ONLY to the 'Xbox' like the title, but THEN goes onto talk about the current quarter, which I was referring to and mentions Micrsoft Surface, Windows 8, AND Halo 4.
Here's the quote ...
The other news was that out of the report was that the 360 shipped 70 Million. The article failed here immediatetly.
But, it's interesting that the 360 will probably end up at 80 million+ before the curtain falls.
Just to show how big this holiday may also end up huge..Kinect is going to be hotter than ever this holiday because of the big screen.
I don't know how MS pulled it off...but I just came back from Paranormal Activity 4 and ...
But wait till they get a load of Quarter 2.
Black Friday and Holiday sales on console
Windows 8
Halo 4
And now the word is Micrsoft Surface is selling out of the entry level model..
Looks like it might be an interesting quarter for them
Evil
Looks like the 360 will end up at 80 million before it's all said and done.
Then it's onward to the Nextbox..

@ Shad
Don't waste your time it's just on of those spanking new profiles made last month that pop up and trolls MS..
He claimed that Halo was an Unreal tournament ripoff as well..lol
At the end o the day Shad you absolutely right.
MS never needed Kinect for shooters, especially when the 360 already had the perfect controler from day one.
Kinect isn't for everyone and it never had to be it's opti...
Forza Horizon, Dishonored, and a freebie..love it!

Mine is still in the plastic from picking my preorder and just like weve seen time and time again from these fanbloggers is they use use EVERY game thst is released to pretend Kinect is dead from that point on.
Fable: The Journey has barely been on retail and look at this authors excuse for claiming it failed already...
'Fable: The Journey came out this week, and largely flopped. Admittedly, it only had a day or two to make an impact, but even so, it'...
Game is getting very strong reception. Another strong product from the Turn 10 camp and the ensemble of racing game vet developers @ Playground Games.
Evil
Yeah I'm with you I love the idea of pinning my daily apps like Netflix, the music apps, youtube, ESPN and MSNBC.
But either way finding them was never an issue.
Evil
I'd say that Halo 4 looks to be special, Black Ops 2 looks like a product that Treyarch has taken to a new level, and havent payed MOH but I have some friends who say they really enjoyed the demo.
MOH as a brand may never fully recover from the Taliban controversy and reception from a lot of the critics a couple of years ago in the wake of EAs initial boasts of taking down COD.
What I do know is the undeniable pull on millions of gamers dollars will come...
Lol..in before the silly belief that every single xbox 360 sale from this point forward is because of this perma-ban and people re-purchasing the console.
Evil
oh my bad i get it now
Dont get it..disagree?
It'll be the highest SELLING Game this year for both the PS3 and the 360.
It may also end up being the best COD to date, but it wont get GOTY nods from reviewers. Too much hate..
Evil
LOL..I love Zune Music account so who cares if they change the name.
If your a huge music fan like I am then nothing is touching it..IMO Love the fact you get all of the big new releases the day they come out.
Plus you can listen through your PC or laptop. I love when I discover a new artist or group through the other music services and then use my Zune and have access to the whole discography.
Although there definately are times when an ar...
It's because of what happened when the last game released. EA hyped during the companies initial pledge to kill Call of Duty.
Then the game got swirled up in the whole 'Opposing Forces' controversy. It was so bad that Gamestops that were on military stores were not allowed to sell the game at one point.
All of buzz that was building around the game came to a screeching halt when the reviews came in and the game got 'average' reviews. Eve...
