Done for the “first time in history,” Microsoft announced a complete redesign of the Xbox 360 with the magic of software. The new dashboard update, which will be available late fall, will bring a slew of features, such as 3D slides and Avatars, to all existing Xbox 360 owners. The update will drop the Blades UI and feature 3D slides, making the UI simple, clean, and more social. Dubbed as, The New Xbox Experience, the update will also bring the rumored Avatars. You’ll be able to fully customize your avatar with custom shoes, pants, shirts, hats, and more. With more emphasis on the social experience, the new update features a new mode, Live Party. You’ll be able to invite up to 8 friends, which you can choose to chat, share photos, or watch Netflix movies together. You avatar will also be integrated with your gamercard and you can use it in XBLA games and other 3rd party games such as Scene It. You can watch a video of the New Xbox Experience here.
