Steven Hodson over at the Inquisitr found some leaked videos showing what the new Xbox 360 dashboard will look like post-Kinect (we’ve talked extensively about Kinect and what it means for Microsoft and computing in general here in the past at SiliconANGLE).

The updates seem to be purely cosmetic, though probably much needed. The physical structure and sorting methods on the dashboard don’t seem to be much different from the existing system, though these videos don’t show what, in my mind, is the area needing the most critical update: the way videos are sorted in your library.

The Xbox, as I’ve mentioned previously, is a powerful tool in accessing your personal cloud powered by Microsoft. Unfortunately, the weak link in the system is the limited methods for sorting media in your library – you’re generally limited by date and title, and there is no thumbnail sort option outside the built-in Windows Media Center component.
