New Xbox 360 Dashboard Walkthrough [12.6.11] - Kinect, Beacon and Bing Support

[TheBlackLionHeart]

Beacon is the new way to stalk people. Microsoft is encouraging stalking.

[Nickthesloth]

How do I find my downloaded game videos ??

[bnm1ETA]

Xbox got the upper hand because it came out on the market first.

[davidtiller800]

[BrutalArtificer]

I dont have ads on my dashboard? only sales of games and movies...I don't see a problem in that though, I think it's usefull!

[xDutchZomBieHD]

@BrutalArtificer Those are ads you dumbass O.o

[BareknuckleRoo]

@BrutalArtificer

You're an idiot if you can't tell that something attempting to sell you a game/movie is an ad.

[CrazyDavy420]

@BrutalArtificer LOL now the world knows YOU arent useful.. ^_^

[LegendOfGamez]

Oh yeah i hate them ads tho

[LegendOfGamez]

[grant11102]

i love this new dashboard look. better than the old one, it was a little laggy at times.

[BestOfJacob]

I wish xbox360 have free online

[TrophyEnthusiast]

this looks pretty cool , but its lagging behind already, i don't want to be a troll or anything but the ps3 already had these features for a long time already

[1040472]

Where the hell is skype? Me and my gf have been trying to find a way to webcam. Xbox sucks monkey balls.

[COLDdawg222]

[ziomel105]

[Cyc0rus]

Can someone tell me where "Pictures" is? I need it to install my custom Xbox 360 themes.

[Coolreaction198]

@Cyc0rus Use modio, dont make themes through your xbox, Modio wont get you banned.

[xDutchZomBieHD]

@Cyc0rus Apps > My apps > Picture viewer.

[ReDw0lf07]

Why do I have different dashboard? I got xbox for christmas but the dashboard looks different? How can i get the new dashboard??

[GuildForumsNet]

@ReDw0lf07 Get Xbox live (online) to update the software,

[KristinaTVfan]

Smh...

[TW3AKPedo]

Can anyone help me with the xbox Account service alert thing i looked at xbox.com and they didnt help me for shit and this makes me lag for everything from games to messages to scrolling through the dashboard

[TW3AKPedo]

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM?

For the past 5 months my xbox wireless connection was great then 2 weeks after the new dashboard came out i started lagging nonstop no mater what game or time constant lag even when looking through my messages and ruined my fun today i had enough and tested my connection to see what was was wrong. My internet is at a 1 to 3 bar (because i use an adapter)and i was connect to xbox live but LIVE Status it says Accounts:Service alert CAN SOMEONE HELPME

[barrat1231]

Why can't you guys make xbox 360 live free look at sony they make millions of dollars just by making the online gaming free you F*CK MICROSOFT M*THERF*CKERS . maaaannn plz make the f*CKING 720 or whatever.... make it the online gaming free!

[christian0314]

The game marketplace fucking blows i cant find anything

[TheMajorBertolli]

We arent all Kinect users! This is outrageous

[infinitewobdrahpa]

beacons? shouldn't my friends assume that I want to play a game if I'm PLAYING IT? that bing thing is just a huge advert as well because it doesn't give any information....it's the same thing as when you clicked on game details and they gave you a list of dlc.

[Gdayguy36]

I don't find the DB to be as bad as some say. Yeah the ads are annoying, especially for a paid service.

[borghome]

How do I use costome backgrounds for the new dashbord?

[shadowsinspirit]

Can we still change the dashboard themes?

[shadowsinspirit]

Does this effect my dashboard themes I got before this new updated dashboard?

[maxcool951]

I have this dashboard so fucking hard to use

[COOLDOODE17]

I can't sign in to my account it asks me for a password n I have no clue what it is it didn't do this before the update can someone help -_-

[Gdayguy36]

@COOLDOODE17 Well I guess that is your fault for making a password you cannot remember.

[santaswords]

yeah I downloaded this and my screen fucked up and now I have no red displaying. It's just one huge green clusterfuck. Everytime I play a game and theres movement a shitload of red bars go horizontally across the screen. All's I see is green gray and the occasionaly blue. Anybody know how to fix this?

[ImHeadshotSniper]

Cool, Looks like my ps3 "DashBoard"

[Awsomess1]

@IGNentertainment How do i change my theme?

[pkm100]

Microsoft really wants us to get a different console, or they just ultra super mega retarded retards to make such a shit dashboard...

[Gdayguy36]

On a service that we pay for, we shouldn't have to deal with a single add.

[SupaSpireiteXx]

STOP SAYING "HEY!" FFS

[l4dhunterz00]

Please look at my channel i have some xbox layout video

[helloperson77]

i down loaded this but want to change it back to the old 1 how do i

[SHOOTDAZOMBIE]

@bicnarok

Forget the ps3 I have both I find the Xbox to be much more entertaining than the ps3 and the new Xbox 360s doesn't get the red rings

Also the 360 has a bunch of amazing games exclusively for xbox. Also the 360 controller was made for shooter games if that's your thing.

Overall GET THE 360

[c0nh4d]

How to find videos,music etc????????

Please inform me!!

[e1ewaan]

the one thing they could do instaed of going through the hassle of apps, is :O have the internet which woukd be way more convenient

[bicnarok]

Can´t decide whether to buy an Xbox 360 or Ps3 for xmas. I´ve seen numerous accounts that the xbox tends to go pear shaped with some "rings of death" problem. Does this still occur or have they put a cooler in the new ones?

[razorx73]

@bicnarok depends if your an online guy id suggest as a ps3 player get an xbox but for anything else buy a ps3

[mrknight999]

I don't think the debate should be about xbox or ps3 because when u balance out the pros and cons for each the the same. The dabate should be about some thing even more stupid like ford or chevy. And Mac or pc. And vanilla or chocolate. Stuff like that. :)

[CoolYoYoYo21]

its dave im the one who sent u a message on xbox live

[7orqu3]

They added nothing yet everything is harder to find it's complete shit and YouTube on this thing is a fucken joke it's not worth shit the arcade sales will drop because it's so fucken hisden

[easytigerrr]

In reference to Beacons; does the comment I provide show up on Friends screens when I am playing the game? or solely if they are looking at the Beacons & Activity "Friends' Activity" section?

[joey21241]

shut the fuck up!!! lame ass fan boy bitches!!! go suck a dick bitches!!!!!! buahahhahaha

[PeTrOs12100]

Only a gold account gives you Voice commands while connected to xbox live???

Please reply...

[KombatEffective]

Man fuck Microsoft. You go to the store to buy a game which ends up costing you around $65. Then you come home just to realise that you have to pay another $50 to fully enjoy the game you just paid $65 for Then once you buy a XBL subscription, you realise its nothing but fucking adds on EVERY page. Thats all XBL is people, another way to lure people into purchasing more BS that has NOTHING to do with gaming. I'm looking at you stupid social apps. BTW, this new dashboard is complete horse shit!

[RandomAndYou]

@KombatEffective Tbh, I agree in a way. I don't want MY stuff being replaced with adds for shit I don't care about.

[xXKoreAMbalaXx]

all of those microsoft points used to buy awesome cod waw, endgame, gears of war themes........wasted 

[Spartin11794]

I have a problem. My parental settings won't let me access live because of this new update. The email it was set up on is no longer in existence. Any way to change it?

[XxBeefSaladxX]

I don't pay for xbox live so i can get more ads.

[SundayProz]

microsoft copyed sony? dissapointment. and you gotta pay to use some of that? wow..

[zooko2k7]

Fuck you Microsoft. Adverts are to keep things free. I payed a lot of money for my Xbox 360, a lot of money for an xbox live subscription, and a ridiculous amount on games too. So HOW FUCKING DARE YOU decide to put an advert on the first screen when I switch my Xbox on. I've gave you hundreds and hundreds of pounds, yet you STILL fuck me over with ads. Fuck you Microsoft, go suck Google's dick.

[ziomel105]

@zooko2k7 Maybe i had PS3 but i had xbox too but when i think how much money i must pay for live where in online races dirt 2 forza 4 people are raming you and you cant race normaly.

[Syakir2004]

@zooko2k7 hey man, switch to pc or ps3 man its better in my humble opinion.

[llaease]

@zooko2k7 dude fuck off, those are related ads just like a 50% off banner on a store shelf.

[buraces]

i like the new dashboard

[AreYouHappyYet]

Xfinity and Fios On XBOX NO MORE CABLE BABY! XBOX IS THE FUTURE BABY!

[Sasura1999]

[deadrising991]

[iCre8RBeatz]

cold, just updated!

[XJeric]

i wish bing wold secrh the web

[ExtremeDuelz]

Copy ps3 much

[IFaILL3IN]

@ExtremeDuelz get the fuck over it if you think that xbox and ps3 aren't similar in different aspects then your an idiot, oh did playstation copy usb ports! jeez they copy each other to try and make one console look better than the other, im sick to death of fucking fanboys

[AreYouHappyYet]

@ExtremeDuelz Copy? WTF are you talking about xbox is 5000,0000,0000 times better than PS# in every way it's so better that that number just got made up to compare it...

[XxKINGxASSASSINxX]

All these xboxfags think they have the superior console just because they have a fancy dashboard.. PS3 keeps it nice and clean. And we've had Youtube, Facebook and netflix since the beginning. So stop bragging about that. And after all. I bought my system for gaming. Not the dashboard.

[IFaILL3IN]

@XxKINGxASSASSINxX what is your point on commenting this? if you don't care about the dashboard...

[XxKINGxASSASSINxX]

@IFaILL3IN To set uppity xboxfags straight .

[lilrascal713]

Fuck the guy below me xbox rules BEE OTCH

[backbreaker95]

Stop complaining !!! At least we still rape ps3 in the butt!!! Microsoft will make this all better , I promise :)

[cataxo444]

ads lol wat

[ipodlegoman]

YouTube is coming to xbox in the next update I think

[Stuntforlife123]

Where can you change your theme?

[D17stoner]

Anyone know when Youtube is coming?

[BEANIEINAEB]

i dont like it = i dont like windows phone = i dont like windows 8 = i dont like microsoft = :(

[Sh4d0wst3p]

MANCE RAYDER

[KeithZarda]

i hate that Dashboard why doed they not keep the Blades Dashboard it was the best

[Skywalker577]

[TheWarknight123]

@Skywalker577 Don't bing, it's nothing but gay movies. With dudes..

[Oceanrust4]

[Legoguy3988]

I don't have it yet aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaa

[FinVpo137]

is youtube on xbox coming to Finland?

[RyanIsLammme]

That means you have the xbox slim that's what I got and it means you xbox is trying to cool down it's too hott

[j2kca]

Recommended home theatre update

[NICOLAJgame]

When I turn of my xbox, I can still hear the battery running and the xbox's turn on button flashes. Then it stops after 8 seconds ..

Has someone else experienced this? ..

[ChristlicherKrieger3]

I love how ads take up 3/4ths of the fucking screen now.

[fuckthehura]

how much memory does it need to download someone please respond!?

[aGruntNamedYayap]

i bought a kinect and regret it : good technology but no games

[FREEZERQC]

they want us to get a fucking kinect but fuck that release some game first damn

[VicK93XxX]

This sucks I will trade my Xbox for a ps3 at least its free to play online and you can use the internet and I only play cod witch ps3 has I don't play reach since they mess-up the game with armor ability so yea so long Xbox we had alot of fun for the past 3years

[WSKEPRO]

I FREAKING HATE THE NEW DASHBOARD THENKS A FREAKING LOT MICROSOFT

[Rex0142king]

Since I have neither facebook nor twitter it's not a major improvement for me personally but to all of you bashing the new dashboard I'll say this: FUCKING DEAL WITH IT!

The only thing that is negative with it in my opinion is the big ad in the center, which I hope they will replace with the game that's currently in the slot.

I have no problem with scrolling 2 more times to get to something I normally use so it's not such a big deal.

Atleast apriciate that they update with new stuff, unlike PS3.

[OmegaRob3rt]

Oh no, I have to scroll a couple of times to the right to play my games! MY LIFE IS RUINED.

[ChristlicherKrieger3]

@OmegaRob3rt I hope you're wearing a condom while riding that dick.

[papervidocq]

@OmegaRob3rt you also have the guide button boy....don't be so lazy ;]]

[johnnyz249]

their forsaking GAMERS. the people who put their console on the map in the first place. not people who watch netflix. just imagine how the next update will be like. bet you cant even find your games.

[JoshKLawson]

I PAY $60 A YEAR FOR A GOLD MEMBERSHIP, I DONT WANT TO SEE ADS WHEN IM LOOKING FOR WHAT I NEED!!!!!!

[davehaslanded]

@JoshKLawson couldnt agree more

[freesixo]

..Looking forward to youtube integration soon

[freesixo]

You should be able to organize the categories in an order of your preference..

[Xboxexpertowner]

With the new Zune i cant make a party on it.

[luketommurphy]

@Gtfando1 sum peepl enjoy watching videos microsoft ar billionaires and ther only trying to make more money

[TheHLstar]

ps3 fans are jalous because their shit is stil the same after all these years it sucks i feel your pain because i took an arrow to the knee

[economytrouble]

@TheHLstar no it doesnt i like it its fine to me and btw i have both

[Jogathan]

I believe they should let us customize our dashboard I would like to have control of that and make it my own

[NeverBeMackin]

@Jogathan It's called JTAG, mother fucker.

[MrSir48]

And PS3 STILL has that absolutely SHITTY menu from 1000 light years ! >:(

[GAMERSHARK100]

@Wadee395 they made it look like windows 8 :P

[Leoismint]

i link my facebook to it so i can share but now i dnt want to share with facebook and im not sure how to logout with facebook.some one please help me :D

[rohanebbs123]

Hello Windows 8

[areskins]

LOL it looks more like the PS3's XMB

[sander945]

@Wadee395 Thumbs up if you knew atleast someone will complain about Xbox coping PS3 stuff... -_-'

[k1LLaak]

i have both system and one think i hate about my xbox is the advertisements. i really hope it doesn't become a marketing system instead of a gaming console =/

[TheForougite]

I used to think this dashboard was cool until I took an arrow to the knee

[FREEDOMRIDER935]

I miss the old one.

[SASAconda]

-__________________- my face widens with disapointment just like penguinz0's nipples.....dont know who that is.... find out

[trialdaking]

Looks nothing ps3 dashboard WTF are u ps3 fanboys talkin bout

[4zachpark]

Even though I really wanted an Xbox, this made me glad that I have a PS3 >:)

[rtruth15]

hahahahahahah they hella copied the ps3 hahahah bitches

[EvoGxLove]

Xbox is now the biggest fail since the ipad

[sander945]

@EvoGxLove Hahha lol. Idiot!

[homeskillet9123]

Basically this is an early view of what apple will do in 2-5 years time. Think about it, video, facebook, apps, movies, and tv all on one screen. Just like the ipad, microsoft was there first, they just wont be known for it and wont do it right. Microsoft has all the vision but not the right voice.

[StonexxDemonmaggot]

i can't even log into Xbox Live because of this update -_- it was fine before the update!.....goddamn it

[SuperYinyang101]

is it too late to buy an xbox 360 ?

[RifleboytheLPfan]

I like it.

[EverdarkRaven]

The really took the ps3's main get your own ideas microsoft!

[michealharty]

@EverdarkRaven i only see them copy some of the scroll stuff (ya know the left slide right slid), other than that everything is original

[sander945]

@michealharty Even the slide thing isnt coping or anything.... Left and right aint copyrighted you know! Like when you turn left or something noone will complain about you coping PS3 or iPhone why complain about that?

[tythehedgechidnafox]

I find it's a lot more complicated than what it's worth... and knowing everyone knows what I'm playing when I'm playing it is slightly creepy... ._.;

[sebacho43]

Can't rip music? Shit

[KroMaTiCAnXeTy]

ps3 sucks cock

[economytrouble]

@KroMaTiCAnXeTy FANBOY I GOT PS3 AND XBOX360 THEY BOTH GREAT SYSTEMS SUCK IT DICK HEAD

[TimothyWilson42]

@90bizzman Really, you really had to say that about PS3 in a simple comment...

[gavril08]

@90bizzman lol hater

[chrikota]

I liked the older one... Oh my god WHY! WHY microsoft did you make your console look like a phone!!

[DUSTINFOGARTY]

its just like the ps3's

[MetaWolfakaZERO]

Stop hating like a bitch no one gives a fuck if the tile for the game is small you still get to play it all ways complaining in life just shut the fuck up

[Eddychapa123]

Just got it

[MGamerkid]

I guess they put all this ad/video shit cause ps3 guys kept saying we're a gaming and media center blah blah idk I didn't use Netflix and facebook or anything else except play/download games but the dashboard does look nice though Can't wait for YouTube yay!!!!

[thecrabend1]

Shit just got better!
