The New Xbox Experience as a "Video-Screenshot"

Germany — 
"Video-Screenshot" is just our hastily thought-up euphenism for adding no voice-over to this quick video tour through the new Xbox 360 dashboard and interface. You'll learn about the two things we really like (and we're not talking about the Avatars or the party mode, because we're not interested in playing UNO with cartoon friends, we like to play Gears of War 2 with bad-ass-soldier friends who we can shoot at!). Perhaps this subtitled video is a stupid idea, but if you should happen to like the concept, we could do it more often -- so tell us what you think. BTW, we didn't add any sound on purpose, it's supposed to work without speakers. The video is also a test of the new YouTube 1280x720 resolution, so you should be able to watch it in fullscreen without hurting your eyes.

Hmm. You're not really showing something new (although I have to admit I didn't know about the fast scrolling with RB/LB, but that's something you're going to find out yourself after a couple of minutes or hours). I think the best use for your video is to show people not owning an Xbox how that console organizes its content. Because, honestly: What 360 user will not upgrade? No-one, so there's not really a question whether to do the upgrade or not.

In case you wonder why the Xbox Guide (!) menu is so blurry: it only runs in 640x480. (Therefore you can use it in-game, from anywhere you want.)
