Additional Xbox Dashboard Fall Update Details Revealed
I'm sure I'm not alone in being somewhat eager for the Xbox Dashboard update. It was previously announced that in the upcoming months, the fall update will include support for Xbox Originals. Xbox Originals is of course Microsoft's answer to downloading old Xbox titles directly to your system's hard drive. If this were not enough, it was recently discovered (at a Japanese conference) that even more updates will be included this fall.
There will be numerous UI alterations. The game's blade will now have the "twist" system, already featured in the video section. This will allow us to browse the various menus categorically to easily find your favorite titles in a speedy, user friendly manner. Demos, games and applications will now be featured in the same menu option retitled "Game Library". The Xbox Live Marketplace will also feature this new "twist" system, making it easier to find downloadable content.
Along with the UI changes, there players will now be able to micromanage their gamer profile. Along with the less recent "friend of a friend" system, players will now be able to type up a short biography to attach to their gamertag for people to read. Users will also now be able to remove Xbox Live Arcade demos from their "recently played" list.
Most of these changes appear to be cosmetic. Personally, I'm loving the idea of removing the demos from the list, as mine is filled with games I've vested little more than 5 to 10 minutes on. The marketplace can always use some sprucing up as well.
