New Xbox Dashboard Launches On December 6

4.5
As the headline states, Microsoft announced overnight that the new Xbox 360 dashboard, one designed to bring the company's user interfaces on console, PC and mobile phone closer together, will be out on December 6.

Aside from looking nicer, the new dash also has better (read: more deeply-integrated) voice recognition for Kinect users, while it'll also be the same day new apps for things like movies and TV roll out worldwide.

The dash is currently in beta. Who knows, many of you are probably using it right now.

I have the beta, and they only do this for the game you are playing. So if you are playin mw3 and he starts, then it will say it. but if ur playin mw3 and he is playin trials, they wont
tell you.


or if you set beacins for the specific games.
