December 6th launches Microsoft’s latest update to the Xbox 360 dashboard. Bringing with it not just a new look, but a much heavier focus on apps. If you think it the new dashboard looks an awful lot like a Windows phone, it’s not a coincidence. Metro, the new style is something that Microsoft is bringing over to all of its products, including the upcoming Windows 8. Sure, some apps on the new dashboard are going to require a subscription similar to Netflix, but what can GOLD members look forward to for free? Let’s take a look at what that $60 a year is getting us.
"the new Xbox dash that’s actually free"
Did I miss something or did Xbox users have to pay for a dashboard at some point?
I wouldn't be surprised if MS eventually charged for newer versions of console OSs eventually.
It's free because those who don't pay for Gold membership still have access to the update!
40 pounds is not alot of mony to be paying for a great service like xboxlive
Aonother failed attempt at journalism on N4G.1st and formost the heading of this awful article gave it away.another flamebait article to get hits and cause all out war on N4G.if gamers had a problem with XBL they would not pay for it.we as gamers have a choice, either pay for XBL or don,t.MS does not force it,s gamers to pay anything,just like PS+ on PSN.this artcle is straight gutter trash,unworthy for the gaming community.i pray for the day that objective journalism rules on N4G,not this everyday tripe we read day in and day out.
