MS Not Happy with Xbox Live Design

You would think that updates to the dashboard would make it easier on gamers. Any type of change should be a positive one. MS believes that its way too hard to find things on XBL and we totally agree. It took me like ten minutes the first time I used the new dash to find a demo.

I think that we are not, I would say…happy with the ability to find and discover content as easily as we’d like for consumers to be able to do that,” said Aaron Greenberg, Microsoft’s product management director for Xbox 360 and XBL.

This is all great, but what does MS plan on doing about it? With no spring dashboard update coming, I’m eager to see how they handle this after publicly scolding their beloved interface.

    Uhm, who handles the way the dashboard is looked like? Is it the same guy that is unsatisfied with it? I too have to concur it is pretty confusing at first to find anything too bad MS can’t do Sony’s crossbar style since it’s patented.

    There is going to be a dashboard update, though nothing cosmetic. 4 person chat rooms, new personal info slots for bio and everything, although I did hear you can customize your dashboard blades, like when you hit the guide button.
