Un filmato dalla beta di chi già possiede l'aggiornamento invernale di Xbox 360.
Trascrizione
00:00All right guys, Andrew Edwards here from GearLive.
00:02What we're doing is we are about to hopefully upgrade.
00:08We've got a preview of the new Xbox 360 Dashboard
00:14that will be coming out generally available in November.
00:19There's the update notification right there as you can see
00:23letting us know that we have an update.
00:24We're going to go ahead and say yes, update now.
00:28And that starts the update process.
00:31And yeah, like I said, so this is going to be the new
00:34there you see it's downloading the update from Xbox Live.
00:36It already has a newer look and feel to it.
00:40Different than pretty much any other update that they've done in the past.
00:57This update brings a bunch of things to the Xbox 360.
01:02Netflix gets a search, which isn't a huge feature,
01:05but it's something that we are definitely going to appreciate.
01:07Zoom is going to be a part of this.
01:10ESPN is going to be a part of this.
01:13And quite a bit more, so let's just get started.
01:15There's the new boot up sequence.
01:23Updates being applied now.
01:28So some other features, like I said, ESPN,
01:31which is going to be bringing live games as well as games on demand.
01:38Zune.
01:39Zune's already been a part of the Xbox experience,
01:41but that's only been for TV and movies.
01:43Zune is now going to do music,
01:46which is really what Zune is known for
01:48as opposed to video content.
01:50So you're going to be able to use your Zune Pass,
01:52stream content,
01:54get social features there.
01:56Netflix search, like I said.
01:59The avatars look a little more,
02:01I guess, human in a way.
02:05Which actually was done to make them
02:07work better with some games for Kinect
02:10because the avatar sometimes stands in your place
02:12and if they don't look exactly right
02:14as far as their body type is concerned,
02:18you as a player kind of get tricked out
02:22in your movements and how you should be moving around.
02:30There we go.
02:31We're in.
02:32There's a new dashboard.
02:35You kind of hear the new sounds that they have.
02:44And it looks like,
02:45let me make sure I'm logged into Xbox Live here.
02:48Okay, I'm not.
02:49So let me log in.
02:52Oh, they actually have more options here
02:54as far as setting up your Xbox Live passcode.
03:00So here we go.
03:01Logging into Xbox Live now.
03:09There we go.
03:10So my premium background just updated there.
03:13Got added in.
03:22So let's just like kind of tour around here.
03:25The friend's area,
03:26which even that's been changed a little bit.
03:29As you can see,
03:29when you scroll over to a friend,
03:31they kind of jump out at you.
03:39Again, everything's a little more square.
03:47There's the welcome.
03:50And here's a Xbox Beta area,
03:54which probably just gives us a look at
03:57what's new, what's changed.
04:01Of course, also a big part of this is Kinect.
04:06We do not have a Kinect demo unit yet, though,
04:09so we can't show any of that kind of stuff.
04:11Not yet.
04:15So let's go into one of the new things here.
04:18Let's go into music.
04:26So there's Zune.
04:28It says it's basically you have to update the Zune app.
04:30We'll do that right now.
04:31I personally liked the more rounded dynamic look
04:38for the Xbox 360 dashboard than this one,
04:42but with the Kinect hand movements and everything
04:44and navigation,
04:45this one does make a little more sense
04:47as far as just being able to reach into the air
04:50and kind of move around.
04:54So there's Zune.
04:55It already has my,
04:57since my gamertag is also my Zune username,
04:59I should be able to just get logged right in,
05:00I'm assuming.
05:04All right, so there's movies,
05:07TV, music videos.
05:10So I am really not quite sure
05:15where the Zune music is.
05:20So let's just jump back out to the dashboard
05:23because I'm kind of confused right now.
05:29All right, I'm in the music marketplace here.
05:33Back into Zune.
05:34Let's see what happens.
05:36What I'm looking to do is get into my Zune pass
05:40and play some tracks.
05:43There we go.
05:44So now it says Zune music.
05:46There we go.
05:47New releases, top songs.
05:51Okay.
05:52They've got the smart DJ feature here.
05:54Basically, it's kind of like Pandora
05:55where you just put in an artist or song that you like.
05:59Or I guess here it's just artists
06:00and it'll kind of play music
06:01that it thinks you'll enjoy based on that artist.
06:04ad music.
06:05There's a search.
06:08Social features here.
06:09This will just pretty much probably show me
06:11what my friends are listening to.
06:14Going to my friend Kenji.
06:17Will Smith's greatest hits.
06:19All right, Kenji.
06:23So there's a track
06:24and I'm assuming I just
06:25can select it right now
06:26and just play it.
06:36All right.
06:37So it's basically saying
06:38we can show your friends
06:40what you're listening to,
06:41what you're watching.
06:42Is that okay?
06:43You can change that
06:44in the settings.
06:47Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh
06:50Miami
06:51Uh, uh
06:53South Asia
06:54Bringing the heat
06:54Uh
06:57Can y'all feel that?
06:58Can y'all feel that?
07:01Check it out
07:02Uh
07:03Miami in the place
07:04Bro, I come let go
07:05To Miami
07:06The place
07:07And the sun said low
07:08Everyday like a body crawl
07:09Everybody party all game
07:11No room wrong play
07:12So we sip a little sip
07:15So
07:15Let's pause it
07:16So you see
07:18You get a
07:19A nice background
07:20Um
07:20It's kind of a cool experience
07:22I guess
07:22You can see the text
07:24Kind of moving around
07:24The background there
07:25Similar to the Zoom
07:26Desktop app
07:27Um
07:28On Windows
07:29Which I actually do think
07:30Is pretty cool
07:31When it does that
07:32So that's me
07:33Kind of looking through
07:34What my friends are doing
07:36I'm going to me
07:37You can see my top artist
07:39There's Lady Gaga
07:43Music videos
07:44These you have to purchase
07:45If you want to watch them
07:48But again
07:48If you have a Zoom pass
07:49All this stuff
07:50You can just
07:50Start playing and streaming
07:51Right away
07:52Like going to new releases here
08:01So again
08:02I can just stop on anything
08:05Hit A
08:10Play
08:11Play
08:18It does definitely
08:19Take a while
08:20To start
08:20One track
08:26Girl you make me
08:28Dumb
08:28Dumb
08:29Dumb
08:30Dumb
08:30Dumb
08:31Bidubi
08:32Dumb
08:32Dumb
08:33Dumb
08:33Dumb
08:34I love this show
08:35Dumb
08:36Dumb
08:37Dumb
08:37Dumb
08:38Dumb
08:39Bidubi
08:39Dumb
08:55and we gotta pause
08:56so there's that
09:00let's go back out
09:07ok so we're out of tune
09:08let's jump into ESPN
09:14ok so it's going to make us download ESPN
09:18first so here's ESPN
09:20and basically this brings like they're saying 3500 sporting events a year
09:26live and on demand
09:29and it says there's an update even though we just downloaded it
09:31so let's take in that update
09:33social features
09:35so that you can people can predict the winner of a game
09:38and see like who voted for what team who won who lost
09:43voice chat with up to seven other friends while watching a game
09:47and you can even customize it so you can basically have a reminder of events you want to see and
09:52things like that
09:53so it's finally getting started here
09:56it's downloading another update
10:01there it is
10:02so there's some avatars down at the bottom
10:05and here you can see there's a events and highlights
10:09PGA Tour live right now we can watch a soccer live
10:14we can watch a replay of hockey
10:18and
10:19and that's actually just going
10:25so I hit A and brings it to the forefront
10:35I think it's going to be able to go back
10:46so now let's go to uh... let's go to something live
10:49so here's a PGA Tour
10:50it's going to buffer
10:51it's going to bring it in live
10:52I'm just making the assumption that it's
10:55high-definition
10:5618
10:58maybe 25
10:59but it definitely doesn't look that way
11:01I have a 35 megabit connection here so it would not be my internet connection speed
11:07but still I mean this is through the Xbox 360 live on-demand content
11:14let's jump back out
11:17look with probe tracer
11:19Tim Clark very comfortable
11:21hybrids
11:23go over to this game
11:26and now you see who do you think will win
11:28palmero
11:30oh sorry
11:31palermo
11:34since they're 2-0
11:35I'm going to go with them
11:39let me get back in here
11:42so that's what I'm choosing
11:44and it's
11:44says it's 50-50
11:45probably because there's not that many people watching right now because this is a preview
11:50but
11:52okay that was interesting
11:54this actually looks a lot better than the golf did but it might just be because most of the screen
11:58is full of green
12:02so we'll jump out of there
12:04here you see you can watch a replay of something that's already happened
12:13and that one's not even widescreen
12:19I'm going to get out of there real quick
12:23and then here you can see the events and highlights and all that kind of stuff
12:26so there's the live events that are on right now
12:29on-demand events that you can watch at any time
12:34quite a few
12:36upcoming events
12:37there's even high school stuff in here
12:40this is all espn3
12:42featured highlights
12:47my sports
12:48I can add a
12:49go in here
12:49choose sports that I like
12:53including poker apparently
12:56but
12:57but yeah you can basically choose a sport you like
13:02so you like the NFL
13:03add that to your sports
13:05and now
13:07you can get a look at just NFL type content
13:12so
13:13that's espn
13:14if you're a sports fan you might enjoy that
13:16but I'm unfortunately not that big of a sports fan
13:18so I don't know that I'd ever really go into there much
13:20but
13:20I'm sure a lot of people are interested
13:22especially because
13:23Microsoft's bringing live entertainment
13:25to the Xbox 360
13:28let's go into Netflix
13:33I'm assuming there might be an update here
13:35interesting that the Netflix boot up screen still has the older look
13:39and feel of the Xbox 360
13:42and yeah actually there it is
13:44so you can see
13:46they didn't really update this
13:47I'm assuming yet
13:49I'm guessing they're going to do that
13:50fairly shortly
13:52so
13:54one thing about Netflix
13:55is there's supposed to be
13:57a search now
14:00but
14:02I'm not really seeing that
14:03we'll come back to that
14:06if we happen to find it
14:07but for now
14:09didn't see anything there
14:11one of my Xbox
14:12there's my avatar
14:13I can definitely already see differences
14:15in just the build of the avatar
14:17the arms are longer
14:18the legs are longer
14:19it looks more like a person
14:20a human
14:21rather than a cartoon avatar
14:24let's go into the avatar
14:27customized area
14:31so there you can see again
14:33they've pretty much simplified it visually
14:36to make it easier to work with Kinect
14:42marketplace is unavailable right now
14:50so there's outfits
14:53interesting
14:55and again
14:56I can definitely see a change
14:57in how the avatars look
15:15there it is
15:17pretty simple
15:22we'll do a save and exit
15:40we'll do a save and exit
15:40and that's really it
15:41I mean
15:42aside from
15:42you know just kind of looking through
15:45you know everything
15:46as far as Xbox 360 is concerned
15:48it's pretty much the same
15:49we've got Kinect
15:53the ability to use a Kinect
15:56with this dashboard
15:57that's pretty much the main purpose
15:59for this refresh
16:01so that you can kind of use your hand
16:03to go left to right
16:04rather than the controller
16:07but
16:08you know there's some family settings
16:09this is also new
16:11but you know I don't know that too many people use
16:13the family settings area
16:16most people I know don't
16:19even if they have kids
16:22ok guys so
16:24this is actually being recorded a few days after
16:28the video you just watched
16:29only because
16:30Netflix wasn't actually working
16:34Netflix wasn't working correctly
16:36I couldn't get any of the new features to work
16:39and it turns out
16:40it's just because the new version of Netflix
16:42hadn't been available to download
16:44so we've got that updated now
16:47six days later
16:48let's jump into Netflix
16:49and show you what's changed
16:56because you can see the splash screen
16:58already a little different
17:00the loading icon
17:11all right there we go
17:12there's Netflix
17:17so if we just go to
17:20as we just scroll through
17:21you'll see
17:23things look fairly different
17:27we can scroll through
17:29and you see it's just
17:30again side to side
17:31same kind of changes we've seen elsewhere
17:35um...
17:36but one difference is usually the X button
17:38would be an add to Q
17:40um... but now what you can see
17:42X is search
17:44so if I hit X
17:47brings up search
17:48and then you just choose letters
17:49to start typing in a search
17:51so if I say D
17:54immediately as you see it updates
17:56with content that it thinks you're looking for
17:59let's go to E
18:02so if I'm looking for Dexter
18:04as you can see I've got
18:06two seasons right there
18:07Dear John, first
18:10Defiance, Dead Like Me, Dead Man Walking
18:12etc
18:14if we throw in
18:17the X
18:21there's Dexter
18:22and then as you see as we scroll over
18:27um...
18:28here
18:29if you hit Y it'll start playing those
18:31because they're instant streaming
18:32but here on these where it says DVD only
18:35if you hit X you'll actually add it to your DVD queue
18:37rather than your instant queue
18:39which is pretty cool because now you're able to add things directly
18:44to your Netflix
18:46DVD queue
18:48which was never possible before
18:52so...
18:53definitely very nice
18:54and if you want to play something you could use Dexter
18:57there you see it says play season
18:59or play episode 5
19:02reason for that is because I'm up to episode 4
19:05so this will update every time you watch an episode
19:10so you don't have to go and find the one that you're up to
19:12or try to remember your spot
19:13it'll kind of do that for you
19:16again very nice
19:18let's jump back out
19:20that's search
19:20again if you want to ever go into search
19:23you just hit the X button
19:24so if you want to add something to your instant queue
19:26you actually have to go into it
19:28and there you go add to instant queue
19:30and it'll take you right in
19:33so there's the info screen as well
19:36again they've revamped that
19:38it seems like there's a lot of wasted space on the sides
19:41but...
19:41still I think it looks a lot better than it did
19:45previously
19:54and then if you want to play something
19:57let's see if we can find something that would actually look good
20:03no... oh okay Jonas Brothers
20:05let's just bypass that one
20:08so Bitter Off Ted
20:10let's play episode 1
20:14so there we're determining picture quality
20:19in a moment it'll display those bars
20:21letting us know
20:22so there we go HD full bars
20:25and things get started
20:40and there you have it
20:43so it's a visual makeover
20:45they've added search
20:47tweaked things a little bit
20:48but it's really the same Netflix that you're accustomed to
20:52so we'll jump back out
20:53so everything else
20:54I mean it's pretty much the same Xbox 360
20:56but the main features again ESPN is here
20:58Zune Music is here
21:00this is really their way of trying to get people to use
21:02or buy a Zune Pass
21:04this plus Windows Phone 7 launching
21:06around the same time that this dashboard is going to be launching
21:09is their, I guess their renewed push for Zune
21:13ESPN like we just said
21:14Netflix which picks up a search feature
21:16which I know a ton of people have been asking for
21:18that's really it
21:18so there's your quick look
21:20at the
21:23new Xbox 360
21:24dashboard
21:26more modular
21:27much more friendly for Kinect than the previous one was
21:31and that's basically it
21:32until next time I'm Andrew Edwards
21:34stay tuned for more tech news through the asofgearlife.com
21:36you
