Rumor: New Xbox 360 Dashboard in November [Updated]
by Blake Ellison, Sep 24, 2008 11:36am PDTUpdate: NeoGAF member Kafel corroborated the picture from Joystiq and added a shot from another page of the ad section. It reads:
"Coming in November, playing Rock Band 2 and meeting up with your band mates on your Xbox 360 will be better than ever thanks to the New Xbox Experience," and links to a features list and videos of the new dashboard.
Original Story: The Xbox 360 dashboard has outed itself: the pending avatar-loving update, dubbed the New Xbox Experience, will arrive in November--if a Rock Band 2 advertisement on the console is to be believed.
"Check out the New Xbox Experience coming in November!" reads the screen in the Rock Band 2 ad section as pictured on Joystiq.
The dashboard update, which overhauls the Xbox 360 main interface and adds hard drive installation of games, has always been due for a rather vague "fall" and certainly will not follow next week's scheduled Xbox Live downtime.
Shacknews was unable to confirm the rumor.

- Avatars (the Mii-like things) are OPTIONAL. You can still use your Gamerpics. Microsoft will not have the system put a gun to your head and force you to use them, despite what some folks here seem to believe.
- Blade functionality will only be in the Guide menu. You will be using that Media Center-esque interface, and there's no going back.
