The Impetus Behind The New Xbox Experience
From gizmodo.com (http://gizmodo.com/5025982/the-impetus-behind-the-new-xbox-experience ): [QUOTE] “Why does this work in Wal-mart” Marc Whitten asked, rhetorically. He’s the General Manager for Xbox LIVE and the guy in charge of the new Xbox 360 dashboard system known as The New Xbox Experience. “Visual is a better way of exploring…you’re actually good at discerning things visually.” And if such is the case, it makes sense why Microsoft has ditched the endless lines of icons and text in their Xbox 360 setup, opting for a minimal experience not so different from Apple’s Front Row. The current Xbox 360 dash (the blade version) has a problem. While there is plenty of functionality under the hood, the development team can’t simply add a new blade any time they wanted to bring new content. Meanwhile, Xbox LIVE hopes to bring users more dynamic content on a daily basis. Something had to give, so Microsoft ditched their dashboard.

From chipchick.com (http://www.chipchick.com/2008/07/q-motions_wireless_skateboard_for_xbox_360_ps3_on_its_way.html ): [QUOTE] We’ve been wondering when a dedicated surf/skateboard peripheral for Xbox360 and the PS3 would turn up. Well it’s finally here, and this one will be wireless too. The Q-motions wireless skateboard features an Ollie button for kick flips, jumps, air maneuvers as well as its 8 touch sensors that let you perform all sorts of tricks and maneuvers. The board will retail for $99 at RadioShack come Fall.
