THE BUZZ: The new Xbox 360 dashboard is set to release on December 6. The dashboard is currently undergoing beta testing and will offer a brand new user interface similar to Windows 7 phones.

It will also introduce YouTube support and Bing voice search along with some tweaks to Kinect’s voice recognition and cloud storage.

EGM’s TAKE: The new dashboard will be the second major redesign since the console’s launch and may prove to be hit and miss with a lot of fans who aren’t using Kinect.

What do you think of the new dashboard if you are testing it? Leave a comment below.

Matthew Bennett finally got his big break with EGM three years ago, following years of volunteer work for various sites. An ability to go many hours without sleep and a quick wit make him ideal for his role as associate editor at EGMNOW.com. He often thinks back to the days when the very idea of this career seemed like nothing but an impossible dream. Follow him on Twitter @mattyjb89. Meet the rest of the crew.
