I DEFINITELY like it much better than the previous one, though I think some of the selections available are a bit redundant and find the beacons pretty useless. I'm also liking the direction in which the Xbox 360 is heading. With all of these available entertainment options, like hulu, zune, fb, last.fm, netfilx, youtube (coming soon), etc. the console is becoming more than just about gaming. One doesn't necessarily have to be playing video games, now we are getting a broader range activities to do on the dashboard
