If you're totally clueless in regards to all the "New Xbox Experience" talk, confused to no end and just want some of your basic questions answered, then TechRadar's "everything you need to know" article is just for you.

Have New Xbox Experience n00b questions like "what is it?", "why is this happening?", "what's an Avatar" or (our favorite) "what if I don't want the new dashboard?" Then their helpful guide can help and give you easy to digest answers. We'll even give you a freebie: Even if you don't want the new dashboard, you're out of luck, because it's one of those mandatory Live updates. Then again, why wouldn't you want it and all of its hotness?

The Update lands on Sept. 26.

I'd like to know what will happen to the theme's i've downloaded and/or bought. If it doesn't use them i've wasted money on not being able to use them at all.
I like some of the features of the new dashboard, but I don't like the look or "feel" of it.
Since I'll have to upgrade to it, it better be faster than the current slow-ass dashboard.

you should read any of the other articles about the New Experience.. you CAN use your old themes and gamerpics with the new fall update..

my big question now is whether or not we'll be able to control the transparency of that giant grey blob covering half my themes.. if not theres no reason to buy or even change themes cause 60% isnt visible..

once im used to the updated dash im positive i wont need that distracting grey space to keep my focus on the menus..
