Any thoughts on the new dashboard? I'm myself a bit afraid that they focus too much on the casual gaming / Wii / Mii thing. All I really want is the dashboard to be a bit more responsive & slick like the XMB and continuous improvements to their already great Live core features. I sometimes feel that both Sony & MS focus too much on gimmicks and too little on providing actually useful features in a responsive and usable UI.
