Xbox Gaming in South Africa

Earlier today, the first participants of the super-secret Xbox LIVE and Kinect Beta Program received their console updates, giving them a first look at Microsoft's plans for the pre-Kinect dashboard update while they wait for their Kinect hardware to arrive. Of course, being a super-secret beta program, it was only a matter of time before the internet was flooded with screenshots and videos, and now you too can get a first look at the new dashboard.

While the leaked media isn't the best of quality, it does show off a flatter interface, as well as the new Avatar Editor and new Avatar look. It may not be the final look of the upcoming dashboard update, but it's certainly a good indication of what Microsoft has planned for the Kinect-enabled dashboard.
