New Xbox 360 Dash Preview

August 01, 2009 in Previews comments 8

RatedG4Gamer's Peter got an invite to preview the new Xbox 360 dash. The offical date for the release is 11th of August. Some new features have been added along with improvments to the overall performace of the Xbox 360 dash.

The new Avatar Marketplace reflects your sense of style. You now will be able to download premium items including branded apparel from your favourite fashion labels and Xbox 360 games. You can also buy animated props. I couldn't help my self and had to buy the RC Halo Wart Hog. Another new feature added under Avatars is 'Awards'. Certain games will unlock new clothes and props that you will be able to show off and use with your avatar. By clicking your guide button and going across to the Marketplace blade you will now see the following - Achievements, Awards (new) and Game Library.

    I notice they still haven't given you the option to change your avatar's posture from that slightly effeminate slouch though. Now that I might have considered paying for

    Yeah true, the animations that your Avatar can do while using props is cool, but it does seem to come in at a heavy price to me.

    What's that sound? Oh yeah, it's the sound of Microsoft trying to milk us for every penny. Still, hopefully companies will embrace the award thing instead and we'll be able to unlock lots of nifty stuff for free, provided we work the games hard.
    I want a [Prototype] Jacket and Hoodie, you hear me Radical?

    To what we have heard Halo:ODST will feature a unlockable suit for your avatar. Feautes like this would be rather cool, but your right in regards to the sound of Microsoft milking us of our hard earned cash.
