Kinect beta begins, new dashboard screens leaked

New dashboard update shown in leaked shots from Kinect beta testers

Lucky Kinect beta testers with no regard whatsoever for Microsoft's non-disclosure agreement have gone ahead and leaked a bunch of shots of the new dashboard.

The major dashboard update is set to release alongside the motion-sensing camera bar in November and, as well as adding compatibility with the device, will also give the menus a little clean-up and the avatars a new more realistic edge.

In these shots (sent to Joystiq) you can clearly see a new avatar editing screen, and the new flatter menu panels.

Beta testers, who got their invited via email a couple of weeks ago, will apparently be let lose on Kinect Sports, Kinect Adventures and Kinect Joy Ride during the beta test period, so expect leaked shots and maybe even videos of those in action soon, too.

Naughty, naughty testers (thanks!).

I'll agree with person above. Less childish, better avatars and more sleek hope it's also much more simpler

I've been using it in work. It's nasty.

Is that avatar supposed to be the love child of Kratos and Nathan Drake?
theaface on 27 Aug '10
I like the new Avatars. I hope there is more options to make them look how you want. More Chins, noses ect. Even if Natal is Brad Pitt, at least we get an update for the dash board.

Either that or Simon Cowell and David Bowie.

I don't like the guide menu, and i certainly don't like the new one. It looks cheap, and retro. I'd rather have something with more gloss, and curves to it. Crying or Very sad

Each to their own though.
I'm glad their tidying things up cause as it is its a bit of a mess. TBH I prefered the old blade dash. Sad

Still no 'off' option for avatars?

the new guide menu looks f**king pants,it looks like i have my Spectrum +2 out...no wait...it looks like i am at school back in the 80s on the schools BBC Micro
metallicorphan on 27 Aug '10
Why do they have to keep messing about with the dashboard.The original one was PERFECT, it was easy to navigate and didnt bloody crash every 10 seconds. Every time I turn my 360 on now it takes a good 5 minutes to load the dash.

@DAEDALUS79
Five minutes to load the dash? Either your xbox is stuffed or you're talking rubbish.
Pokeymike on 27 Aug '10
change is good people! My god like... why are people so negative when obviously this is a good thing. Get a grip!!!!
simsc3 on 28 Aug '10
I can neither confirm nor deny my involvement in this particular matter, nor can I confirm nor deny the excitement of the arrival of the hardware.

I think I can say however that Beta's rule.
