So, if you’ve already turned your Xbox 360 on today, you’ve probably already downloaded and installed the update. If you haven’t, do it. The new dashboard definitely looks good, and there are a lot of new things to explore and check out.
First thing, when you update your Xbox, you’re prompted to make a customized avatar, which is sort of like your Mii if you own a Nintendo Wii. There are actually a lot of different things you can do, hair, make up, facial hair, clothes, accessories, and even changing the types or nose, lips, chins, etc…
After you’ve created your avatar, it’s time to check out the new features. Good luck checking them out though, word is, the Netflix streaming is not working for a lot of people. I’m on of those people. I couldn’t even get into the Netflix part, I got an error when I clicked it.
Other than Netflix, there is photo sharing, video chat, and there are some games you can play with your friends, using your avatars. The Netflix is really the only part of the update I was interested in, as well as the new dashboard. So, the update looks great, and the features sound good, but Microsoft needs to fix some things.
