Edit: Nov 19th will be the Dashboard update aka "The New Xbox Experience" I guess I could look it up but I figured you guys would know.
Major Nelson just released some new info that I can't get to from work. New Xbox Experience: Games played - Xbox Lives Major Nelson
im just waiting for netflix..my sister works there and gets a free acount and she is going to hook her account up on my 360...woooot
I won't say how, but I've had the chance to play with the new dashboard already. After about 5-10 minutes I already miss the blades. It does feel less ad spammed though. If you have a large friend list, it can be a bit tough on navigation.
