As part of a series in which Microsoft will try to explain to gamers some of how the new Xbox Experience will work, Gamerscore blog has today kicked this off by showing us how the Games played slot will look within the new Xbox Experience.

Here's what they had to say...


It will become obvious for the next few Wednesdays that my team is Gamerscore obsessed. Let's be honest, with high Achievement counts, it was sometimes a pain having to scroll through all of them to see how well we were doing. Once the New Xbox Experience launches that will all change.

When you click on your Gamercard in the New Xbox Experience you will see some familiar options; your messages will be accessible, you will be able to edit your profile or update your Avatar, manage your account, switch profiles (if you have multiple profiles) and change the Theme (more on Themes in the coming weeks). From here you will also be able to see every game you’ve played on your Xbox 360.

Check out the screen shot up there (click it for different sizes). The team has created a mock account for Major Nelson (Yes, we know the Gamerscores don’t match up on his account but that is because we created this screen shot on a build that is still being worked on).

The first card shows all of the Achievements you’ve unlocked and lists out your overall Gamerscore and the highest possible Gamerscore you could have based on the games you’ve played. To the right of that every game you’ve played will have its own card that fans out. If you’ve played 3 games (like this account has), you will have 3 cards. 500 games? All 500 will fan out on your screen. You can check out what Achievements you’ve unlocked per game and what you have left to work on.

We’ll have more updates like this until we launch this fall so make sure you keep checking back for the next set of screens and details.

You can use the blade if you like, just press the guide button. You can use them during games to now.

WTF is that midget thing? is that a Mii?

lol, microsoft...

I thought for sure that since MS brags about there "ultra" powerful console, that they would try to compete with PSHome.

WTF is the point of an Xbox MII?

I think so,yes. I've only bought 1 theme so I wouldn't really care if the new dashboard want backwards compatible with the current themes.

Microsoft has already announced the current dashboard won't be an option when you are forced to download the New Xbox Experince. The only time you will be seeing the current dashboard is in the guide.

it has been noted by microsoft that the blades will be there also if one so chooses to use them instead.

also microsoft also stated that original themes will also work, this was all mentioned in their press releases during e3 and on various interview sites.

Everyone despised windows XP when it came out and wanted to stick with 95/2000
Now, everyone hates Vista because it sux and loves XP.

veryone will hate it by just looking at a few screen shots.
But after people get it and use it and learn all the stuff then more people will liek it.
You cant expect a bunch of good reviews if noone has even seen/used it yet
