nostalgia

Ah, the blades design!

The best dashboard for organization, performance, and themes. This is one of the things Microsoft has downgraded going forward with software updates. It takes me back and the later updates continued to even ruin the quality of the second dashboard update by removing effects and increasing loads. Also, cover arts are only viewable online from later. That was the dumbest and one of the laziest implementations that could be done to a consumer's experience. Absolutely terrible and crap emulation to go with it. The 360 had some great online experiences and software, but so much was overlooked by Microsoft that a lot of quality was temporary and taken from the consumer at a later stage because they apparently don't own their Xbox console.

They didn't have a choice to keep a legacy dashboard for optional use.

its beautiful. i miss the blades dashboard so much...
