Story:
Microsoft has provided some glimpses of the Xbox One dashboard, but the company still hasn't shown it fully to the public. One particular YouTube user, Jackson Carter, has posted a two minute video of the Xbox One console, controller, and dashboard. The shaky cam overview provides one of the first videos of the new Xbox One dashboard, and a preview of how games and videos continue to play throughout the dashboard interface.

The console appears to be part of the beta program that Microsoft is currently testing with internal Xbox employees. The YouTube user notes that "it has a lot of bugs," but Microsoft still has over two months to figure those out before its release on November 22nd. Like the Xbox 360, the interface makes use of Microsoft's "Metro-style" user interface, with a number of different sized Tiles throughout separate sections. Games, Movies & TV, Music, and Apps all have separate card sections, while apps like Skype, Internet Explorer, and Xbox Music are stored in a Pins section near the home section.

Microsoft previously provided a closed doors look at the new Xbox One interface during Gamescom in August. Xbox One allows six accounts to be signed in at the same time, with Kinect able to pick up each user by voice commands. The new dashboard supports up to 1,000 friends, with the ability to pin favorite multiplayer friends in the Pins section. Microsoft will also let the Xbox One control individual components of a living room setup, including TVs, audio receivers, and cable boxes. The configuration is similar to Logitech's Harmony remotes, allowing Xbox One users to control other devices via the infrared blaster.

ZENU96 The dashboard looks very organized and easy to get around, but the controller looks so nice!


I had different opinion when I first saw the controller but after hearing a lot about it and seeing it in a lot of videos, I'm actually quite fond of it. I'll miss the old controller though :(

Lightyear It looks pretty awesome, I like it how you can just go away from the game and the cutscenes don't even pause.


Exactly while the game is still going on. Amazing.

Does not look like they changed anything.

Looks exactly the same as 360 dash. I still hate it and have hated this dash ever since it was first released.

JPEG It seems to have too much stuff on the dashboard. :s


Yah it looks really crowded.

I wish they wen't back to the old days, with the 2008-2009 dashboard but that will never happen. I loved that dashboard :D

Looks almost identical to windows 8, not to big of a fan of it :/

Stop with the Windows 8 dashboards with a bunch of as on it, no one likes it. I think they should try a new layout
