Brief video on Avatar creation in the new 360 Dash

I'd rather my 360 not sound like a Wii, that's all. I don't mind consoles being made to be fun for other people, but that's the Wii's demographic, not the 360. I'd appreciate that my console of choice not be turned into a Wii right before my eyes. It's like buying a nice sports car, only after having it for 2 years the manufacturer comes in and put in an automatic transmission, then relights the dash with pretty colors that appeal to "most", and puts a few "I Support Whatever's Trendy" bumperstickers and ribbons on the back.

You guys are so quick to attack me that you gloss over the fact that I've said I like the Avatars more than Mii's, and that I don't really mind the Avatar system. I've said in previous threads that I really, really dig the new dashboard look. It's just after hearing what basically amounts to the Wii in the 360, I simply hate it. Will I get used to it? Sure. Will I fool around with the Avatars? Probably more than I should.

I'm still waiting for someone to agree with me that it sounds like Saturday morning cartoons.

EDIT: After watching the video once more, it feels like like I'm running around in the hub world of Super Mario 64 or something.

Im sure there will be an option to turn off the sounds if they bother you so much. MS isnt stupid, they know who butters their bread. If the hardcore gamers demand explosions, gunfire, screeching tires and the sound of babies being raped as they navigate their menus, then theyll implement it as an option, if they havent already.

I actually like the idea of them coming to the 360. My friends and I have had some good laughs creating Mii's on his Wii. I made Mitch Hedberg once, it was awesome.
