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.

I love the layout on the Dashboard.

570 Looks way too crowded to me too be honest, I like when it looks very clean and not so crowded..


They will clean it up down the road

The dashboard looks professional, it isn't all bunched together and I especially like the idea of being able to exit the game and return to the dashboard, and then being able to restart the game from where you left off.

Exactly. Too much stuff all in one place. Looks messy and hard to understand. I liked it simpler like on the 360.


I like it to be honest, it'll take a while getting used to thuogh.

It doesn't look too bad in my eyes, i actually like it a little better than the Xbox 360 dashboard. Hopefully it can be optimized to become a little less cluttered though
