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.

Daw The dashboard looked unoriginal and I didn't like it. But that's just my opinion.


I agree with you there but they are sticking with the Windows 8 Look and I don't like it personally but as the guy said it's only a BETA build the finished product could be totally different but I highley doubght it.

Zeff It looks exactly like windows 8 (Bad).


Yeah, I agree! Windows 8 is just horrible!


Actually I like it, it keeps everything neat and in order.


I like the simplicity, it doesnt really work for a computer but for xbox its just right

Yeah, it was decent on the computer. But it looks perfect for the Xbox one. It looks as you said simple to get around and find what you need.
