Cloud

Microsoft have just released the the mandatory update for the Xbox 360, this is not an optional update, you have no choice in this. Here are some of my thoughts on the changes that have been made.

Likes:

• The Metro UI is very easy to use. It feels fresh, with a nice throw back to the old Blades UI which I loved. Everything is nicely spaced out, so it’s easy to see a good overview on the apps/games and services on your console.
• Kinect Voice is much better than in the previous dashboard, navigating through the Games Marketplace using Kinect Voice is rather fun.
• Beacons and social network sharing is a great idea.
• Cloud Game Sync allows you to copy the save to Cloud and let it sync, putting all your data in a safe and accessible place.
• Love the new apps section, when more apps become available, I can see this taking off big time.
