Update to the Xbox Dashboard

This fall, the Xbox 360 is getting an update to the Xbox Live Interface. Including Avatars, that can be customized to fit the person, and to express yourself in a new way on Xbox Live.

New Community Channel, that shows off the Avatars, and is the new Friends list. Up to 8 people can get together in a channel, and talk together. Which is nice because I hated the fact that only 1 person could be in a chat channel at a time before.

In parties in the community channel, you can showcase things like Pictures you have on your Xbox 360, or Videos. You can also particpate in games as your avatar, this is done in Xbox Live Primetime.

The new Games channel. AS a party leader, you can launch games for everyone with just the push of a button.

New Xbox Live Arcade games. New Geometry wars games coming out in August. Also a new Galaga game, called Galaga Legions, which is to be released soon.

GLaDos came on to just say a little about Portal 2 coming soon.

Cartman came on to express about a new South Park game coming soon as well.
