New Xbox 360 Dashboard Fall Update Details

As you now know the Dashboard will go thru a complete retooling and new look this fall. Here's a summary of details to answer some questions. If you have more info please add.
  • Official advertisement Video from marketplace (Please download from XBLA for better Rez):
  • Video detailing the changes:

Gametrailers has the HD version if you prefer:

  • Existing themes on new layout:

If you purchased a theme on your Xbox 360 in the past, this is an example of what it would look like on the New Xbox Experience
.

The new download area for content is completely overhauled with the ability to add more information regarding the download for a specific game. Scrolling through each piece of content displays the window of information, reducing the amount of button presses it takes to jump into purchasing or learning more.
.

The game specific launch center adds everything from access to (what we expect are) streaming trailers, screenshots and description of the game selected. Demo download and launch appears to be included in the game specific page and the Play Now function could be an option made available when a game is inserted or added to the harddrive, or always displayed and will outline the steps needed to be taken to play. You know. Put the game in somehow.
.
  • UPDATE: xbox.com has been updated too to resemble the new dashboard theme.
