As much as I love the xbox, the new UI used in most of its apps is very poor. Especially if you don't have kinect.
I agree mate hope they improve it
Don't get your hopes up. I am testing the new dashboard out now through the beta testing and the only thing different is all the panels are now about 25% bigger. Plus you have pins, which is where you can pin your favourite games ect. Quickplay has gone, now replaced with recent..so no different and just as slow.
