    @MrBionic: By that logic Blu-Ray, Linux, or Netflix negates the PS3 and spread sheet and other assorted software negates a PC's entertainment use. Nothing which adds to the feature set is worth complaining about when it does nothing to detract from you look to do with a particular machine. #dashboardupdate

    I'd say you're definitely acting as though it's going to negatively impact your ability to play games on the thing. You won't have to wade through anything as they're all buried under the appropriate (and currently existing) tabs. If that's still too much, you could always set the console to boot the game when turned on. I myself am not much of a fan of the latest additions, but I don't see why they're so rage inducing for some people. #dashboardupdate

    @Kobun: It's most likely a generational gap. I see no reason for a game console to be anything but a game console. I put up with it, but it cheeses me at the same time, and yes, it can be annoying as all get out to go from My XBox to Friends and have to flip through redundant and useless tabs to get there. It's a small annoyance, but it's an annoyance nontheless. I don't set it up to boot into the game, because most of the time, I check to see who's playing what before I decide what to play. #dashboardupdate

    @MrBionic: I removed my comment cause I realized I stopped posting on here (kotaku) because I dont think the "promoting of comments" system should be in effect. But look, you got me to reply.

    My original comment in all its sarcasm, that nothing is being forced on you, since you simply do not have to look at it stands. Force fed implies the person receiving does not want and is being forced to consume, you simply do not have to look at it, you are not being forced to do anything. Its like complaining there are news websites on the internet, I mean they just force feed that content to you in the same manner right? Simply have an option to go look at something must be forcing it on you? I mean I only have the internet for gaming related items, and OMG there is news and serious stuff on there too!!?!?!

    @Demonbird: Biases aside, I guess I'd pick MSNBC as the best choice right now. I'm not a big fan of Fox News or their commentators, and CNN has become progressively dumber over the years - they're a long way from their glory days of Desert Storm. MSNBC isn't perfect either, but unless Microsoft decides to carry the BBC as well, it's the best we'll get.

    That said, I don't see any sign of Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, or any of their other commentators in the clips. It looks like this is the "news" part of MSNBC. #dashboardupdate

    The Garfield cartoon was great. I liked Dilbert too, so I'm forced to conclude that your sense of humor is awful and you're a bad person.

    @GtheMVP99: Considering that CNN has been coming in last among the cable news networks (and I'm counting propaganda mill FOXNews as a cable news network), I don't think Redmond wants to hitch their wagon to that kind of mediocrity.

    Of course, the "thought" that went into bringing Dilbert and New Yorker cartoons is baffling, but the MSNBC get does pave the way to bring other providers on board.

    Slowly but surely, Microsoft finally is making a living room all-in-one a mainstream reality. #dashboardupdate
