VIDEO: Leak Gives First Look at Xbox Dashboard Update
Who wants an early look at the upcoming Xbox 360 Dashboard update?
Microsoft's got an Xbox 360 dashboard update planned for November 15 but aside from a few screen-shots, we haven't seen much of what the company has planned. Luckily, we don't have to wait until next month to get a peek at what Redmond has got planned.
The video below doesn't go too deeply into the new dash, but what the two-minute clip does tell us is that Microsoft is going with a very 'Metro' feel, similar to what we've seen with Windows Phone and Windows 8. We don't get to see any of the rumored voice control or improved Kinect integration, but it does briefly show the Xbox Live Marketplace and the Bing search page.

eww,,, gross.
To be fair, we can all see the way this is going, in a few years we will have Kinect control for everything, so you don't want to have touch screen for your HTPC? Duh obvious, but you can sit on your couch and wave a hand in the air and it will run programs, play videos & music, etc - so to give a Metro style UI for Xbox is halfway there already.
No more game controllers or remote controls to lose, no more batteries running out, no more having to get off my fat lazy ass to pick up a controller or remote I have put down more than 3 feet away. Heaven for couch potatoes.

I hope that never happens. My wife always moves her hands around while talking. I don't want the channel to change every time she wants to strike up a conversation while i'm watching sports.

If you want guaranteed comment activity in droves for your article just say the word Apple or IPhone in every post. Does not matter if you are talking about a remote control toilet. Mention Apple and let the fireworks begin.

i love what was considered blades. and i have HATED every ui sense.
i mean every one is more annoying to use than the last...
The video seems to be gone, but I imagine I wouldn't hate using metro with a gamepad. Just with a mouse and keyboard.
