The rumored Xbox 360 Spring Update might not have hit yet, but we know something big is in the works for the console's dashboard.

How big? Well besides the gi-normous list of rumored updates we posted about back in May we're now hearing from a number of sources that the Live dashboard is going to be getting a second interface option, one that will use the yet-to-be announced motion controller to navigate.

This new user interface, we've been told, will recreate the increasingly cluttered dashboard "blade" system in a 3D environment that will be something more akin to the Minority Report than a filing cabinet. The motion controls will allow users to sort of slide through the different levels of this floating menu system.

Haha, love the pic.

Sounds pretty awesome, but I didn't really find the dashboard "increasingly cluttered". I had no idea there were going to be all these updates either. Sounds cool.

I call bullshit on levels beyond World 1-1.

Seems all parties are working on this stuff. I am 100% sure this has been rumoured for the PS3 as well.

Its bull if you ask me.

If it's true, it's at least not the whole truth.
Why invent a motion controller JUST to flip through the UI? Especially if it's something like a power glove? Yuck.

And to play Banjo Kazooie... >.>

Wasn't it on N64 originally?

I'm somewhat confused. . .So the 360 is officially getting a wii-mote (essentially). And as of now, all it'll be used for is to navigate menus? Gay.
