Tutti i possessori di una Xbox 360 aspettavano questo momento: da oggi e per le prossime due settimane, arriverà su tutte le Xbox 360 il nuovo aggiornamento dashboard!
Cosa ci sarà di nuovo nell’aggiornamento? A livello visivo troveremo un’interfaccia leggermente diversa con l’aggiunta di tile (le mattonelle tipiche di Windows 8) e la possibilità di aggiungere collegamenti personalizzati per i contenuti di maggiore interesse oltre a delle piccole migliorie grafiche. Sarà, come anticipato qualche giorno fa, inserito Internet Explorer ma manca Smart Glass (come descritto nella nostra prova): la possibilità di interagire con i tablet sfruttandoli come dispositivi di input/output sarà disponibile solo dopo l’uscita di Windows 8 (ovvero dopo il 26 Ottobre).
Vi lasciamo ad uno stralcio del comunicato ufficiale che riporta tutte le nuove migliorie inserite nell’aggiornamento:
In this update, you will see the following features.
- Refreshed Xbox 360 Dashboard. We’ve updated the UI with a few things, including an updated layout with more tiles, a combined TV & Movies channel and, in the US, a Sports destination.
- Internet Explorer for Xbox. With Internet Explorer on Xbox, you can easily find and view internet content on the biggest screen in the house, including HTML5 videos.
- Recommendations and Ratings. Recommendations will allow you to discover new favorites, generated based on a number of variables including the content you previously viewed, what your friends are consuming and what is most relevant and popular with our Xbox community. You can now rate content yourself and also see Rotten Tomatoes ratings.
- Pinning. Pinning lets you personalize the dashboard by saving your favorite movies, TV shows, games, music, videos and websites right to the home screen. It’s as easy as opening an app or a favorite movie and clicking “pin.”
- Xbox Video. Formerly called Zune Video Marketplace, Xbox Video offers hundreds of thousands of TV shows and movies for buying or renting in instant HD streaming.
- Recent. Previously called Quick Play, the Recent view gives you a list of movies, games, apps or other types of content that you most recently accessed on the console.
- Enhanced Search. The last Xbox LIVE update brought Bing voice search to Xbox so you could use voice to search for movies, TV shows, actors, directors and artists. This year we added genre search to the list, so now you can search for action, comedy, romance, drama or sci-fi. Bing voice search now includes results for video across the Web, including YouTube.
- International Expansion of Voice Search. We’ve expanded our Kinect voice search capabilities to 9 new countries – Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Italy, Spain, Austria, and Ireland.
