You don't need to use the new dash - you can spend all your time in the minidash if you're uncomfortable with the new version.

For example, I can't get into the idea of "trophies" on the PS3, it feels like a poor mans version of achievements. Same goes for Home and the Avatar system here, I doubt it'll ever really be accepted.
Now we have it too!
The new new dash is hot! And they still have the blade in the guide. So best of both worlds. You do realize the blades dash is going on 3 yrs now. I welcome an update.
And the new guide is very sharp.
I like.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH!!!
I've just spent some time on those sites and I haven't seen anything about gamerpics. Now, maybe I missed it and I'm going to eat my words, but where did YOU read something about gamerpics being explained?
not like the current cut and paste kindergarten layout...FUCKING GROSS
the only thing that really worries me functionally is voicechat in the primetime...i can just hear it now
"YOU GOT IT WRONG YOU $!@!@%!@#%@#$%@#$%@#$@#$$"
"OH YEA @)$!@#)%*@#)%*@#$@#$@?!?!@!@!"
and so on...for hours

Channels? Way to go, MS, rip off Television, why don't you...
Videogames? The Magnavox Odyssey thinks that's REAL original.
Party? I had one of those last week, thanks for ripping ME off too.
Even though I don't fully comprehend what it means, I'm just going to say "class action" to make myself seem more relevant.

Jericho Trailer in Primetime?! One of the greatest shows ever, and one of the most mistreated shows by executives, canceled twice, and there's a "trailer" for it??
Anyhow, love the interface, hate how the narrator's voice make every sentence a question.

Then again, maybe it'll grow on me.
Also, I realise there are mini blades - I don't care.

"Also, I realise there are mini blades - I don't care.".
They aren't real blades.
Where is the friends list in the guide?
If I'm in a game and want to invite a friend, I don't want to have to go back to the main dash just to party up.
I'm hoping that's just a little mistake, and that a friends list will be there on the final version.

and LOL at those complaining about getting rid of a portion of the dash like primtime...just skip it! lol
if the avatar is customizable enough, then i think it could be quite interesting. friend accessibility looks kinda sketchy though...

As much as I disliked blades, I'm gonna miss it now.
But as we know, MS loves copying Apple...

I prefer the Avatars over the gamerpics. The Avatars can be much further customized and will allow your jackass friends to express themselves much better than that picture of the GOW logo. Another cool thing about the avatars is how developers can incorporate them into the games themselves if they like. Pretty cool idea to me.
I am concerned with the "picture sharing" though. Thats just begging for abuse by moron teenagers.
