GameTab leaked information on what "could" be the new dashboard for the 360, how reliable this is, is another matter but still worth a look.

Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwd00FGpKrU)

Features

* 600 Windows Live Messenger contacts for your friends list
* Contact list will integrate Windows Live Messenger and show joinable session status
* Messenger contacts see what game you're playing and gamertag
* Marketplace has own blade, skin will change independent from theme
* Users will now see what achievement they've unlocked onscreen
* Low-power download mode followed by auto-shutdown
* You can watch partially downloaded video files

I have the majority of people I work with on my MSN account. Do I really want my boss to be able to see that I'm sitting playing GRAW when I've chucked a sickie?

Handy MS have the keyboard controller coming out if not the MSN feature might not of been so useful unless u like to either have 2 keyboards kicking round your desk or you like to keep plugging and un-unplugging the dam thing in and out.

Yeah group chat couldn't be too hard? i'm sick of being told to buy UNO to do grouped video chat, it's a card game and it's no longer free...

I have big thumbs, so new key pad of no use to people like me affected with this life threating condiction..lol

Why no chat rooms... We used to have it. PC-ing 4 people to get a game going is a nightmare.

COME ON MS MAKE US HAPPY!!!

I'm gutted they have expanded the Friends List yet provided no feature to group them, imagine the amount of people you will have to search through. It's retarded in my view...>Could of done it so much better.

Plus providing Video Chat across Xbox Live would of boasted support for the Xbox Live Vision Camera, easily!
