Onthexbox.com - A new look for Xbox.com

A new look for Xbox.com

The web team at Xbox has been busy working on a redesign for Xbox.com that is going to go live Tuesday. While there are no new features in this update (it’s just a visual redesign) there are a couple of things worth mentioning:

  • A new look for all of the content pages.
  • Redesigned navigation
  • One click access to the My Xbox section (see the examples on Flickr)
  • New search function using LIVE search
  • A bunch of other little things to make it easier to use

The operations team will start deploying the update after 0400 PT Tuesday morning . Assuming all goes well, Xbox.com will not be offline at all, the new design will ‘just happen’. Basically, swing by Xbox.com after 1200 PT Tuesday and you’ll see everything for yourself.

I personally like the new layout better. It finally solves the problem of the horrible menus and looks pretty good.

The most common resolution still seems to be 1024x768, and as such most websites are designed to look good in that configuration. Although with widescreen monitors becoming more popular a lot of web-designers are choosing to float the content at the center of the page.

Well, it's ok, but I liked the old design better.

But I never use Xbox.com anyway.

Ugh, I hate it. It just looks not.. like.. right. It doesn't gel together.. the forums just look like it had a template change around the outside and it doesn't feel right. The main site is pretty ugly, but my most used are at the top right and it just doesn't feel as accessible as it was before.

You just, don't design a layout to be open and then restrict it with a weird white boarder around most of the pages. Unlike something like here on OTX, you can see where the layout stops and it doesn't try to be cool and blend in. I really, dislike it. This should've been the inbetween steps from Xbox > 360. And then what they had before is what they should have now.
