Microsoft have just announced pretty sweet looking new X-Box 360 dashboard at E3. The new dashboard has a few new features and the usual features are still their.

Some of the new features include been able to watch NetFlix films on your x-box and with your friends. Also you can now copy your games to your hard drive and play from the hard drive.
