Microsoft has reportedly started contacting registered Xbox Live users informing them about an incoming dashboard update for the Xbox 360. The new Dashboard update is expected to bring a plethora of new changes along with tweaking the UI a bit to make it a bit like Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8.
The new Xbox 360 Dashboard update will allows users search content by either category or genre which will late separate into more subcategories. Kinect Voice functionality will also be improved allowing users to more effectively browser the Dashboard and search through content.
The most important new feature is maybe the addition of customizing the dashboard, users will be able to pin their favorite content to the main Dashboard similar to what we’ve seen in Microsoft’s Metro powered devices like Windows Phone.
No release date for the new Dashboard has been announced yet but we’ll give it a few weeks max.
