New XBOX ONE Dashboard Preview video

[Austin]

A video was uploaded at the end of last week showing the new dashboard. It looks like it's currently available to download for preview members.

I'm pretty happy with some of the changes they have made so far. The new guide looks to be quick to get you to important areas, like your friends list, messages, parties, etc. It seems to be much faster to get to your snapped items too (press the R trigger instead of having to tap across a bunch of window icons). I like to be able to jump into Settings quickly when I need to (for instance, to turn the Kinect on or off), and they have put that in the guide as well.

I'm glad they added quick snap to the top & bottom of the home screen using triggers. I hate to scroll through stuff just to get to the games list, it's why I pinned all my digital games and some video apps on my 360.

Looks a lot like the Xbox PC app. Not too sure that I like it. Having said that, there are definite issues with the current dashboard layout.

Looks like a real improvement. Give it to us already.

I guess mine just updated today. I'll give it some time but so far I'm not a bigger fan of this one than the last. I do hope it ends up being a bit more stable for me, though.
