The Examiner reviews the new Xbox 360 Dashboard

The Examiner has gone through the new Xbox 360 Dashboard, pointing out the good and the bad in a rather compressed way.

I miss some more details, but atleast they had a comment about the prices for the Games on Demand – which clearly shows that the overpricing on games is not just a phenomenon for the local markets as they have previously tried to point out.

Second, how useful are the new features? Games on Demand, while it sounds like a good idea, usually features games that are well over their retail price point.  For example, Bioshock and Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga both sell for $29.99 on Games on Demand.  These two games sell at (most) retailers for $19.99.  Users won’t receive a physical disc and must use 4-8 gigabytes of their 360 hard drive’s space to download the game. If this makes it sound like an almost entirely useless feature, I apologize – it’s actually entirely useless.
