MS planning Xbox dashboard update in preparation for next-gen console
We understand Microsoft is aiming to ensure Xbox 360 users can transition over to the next-generation console and interact with existing Xbox 360 users using messaging, beacons, and achievements. Microsoft will also phase out the use of its Points system with this dashboard update, replacing it with currency and gift card options. We're told that the final update will be made available, providing the public beta testing goes to plan, in August.
Microsoft is holding a special event at its campus in Redmond on May 21st to unveil the next-generation Xbox. Sources have revealed to us that the event will include details of the new interactive TV features that the company is building into its next console. Microsoft is also expected to show off a smaller and denser Xbox console with newly designed controllers that are said to be "flattened" in appearance.
Microsoft isn't commenting about any planned dashboard changes. "We don’t have anything new to announce at this time," says a spokesperson.

SorceryVlifUpRyzer I loved the first dashboard ever.
agreed, you could customize everything... i also liked the original xbox dashboard the black and green looked really nice
Personally I think it was a little dull.
3rd > 1st > 2nd
I just think the fact that you can customize everything was pretty awesome. like now when you press the guide button, its all white, on the first dash you could have themes on it :P
