Gamespot "accidentally" leaked the new X-Box 360 dashboard movie, which you can view below (hopefully). We now know it is set to be released on May 7.
Microsoft is doing well fostering the idea of a gaming community with its X-Box 360. It's not difficult to find people, add each other to your friends lists, and interact with each other in cyberspace via gaming, chatting or whatever.
Nintendo, on the other hand, hasn't quite realized the potential of their Wii Connect 24 service. Heather and I were trying to add someone to our address book the other night, and the process was decidedly convoluted. Once your get them in there, there doesn't seem to be any benefit to having friends other than sending e-mails to each other. The entire process seems to revolve around a Wii Console number that is buried under layers of other windows.
Other consoles should look at the X-Box and really study how they handle their community.
