Well this is crap. It's a disgrace what they've done to the xbox dashboard over the last couple of years. And these features do not fix any of the problems Microsoft has forced on my dashboard. I still have a store tile that doesn't need to be there, 3 advertisement tiles along the bottom when it should be my game tiles along the bottom, this would help with actually being able to see your background and making the dashboard look more tidy. And the fact my dashboard is littered with gamepass, social crap and store games you wouldn't catch me dead playing. The dashboard let me remove all this muck in the past (except for the adverts but it was only around 2 adverts back then), now it's all forced on me. I just recently got a PS5 and none of these problems exist on the home screen.
When an Xbox disc drive works, it works. But if you've had the same luck I've had with my Series X and Xbox One, then there is clearly an issue. I haven't used 4K Blue Rays, just normal Blue Rays and they work perfect. My problem is with older DVD type discs. At first, no problems but after not even a year the disc drive refuses to read older DVDs, I end up having to keep ejecting the disk to put it back in for it to try and read again. At first it would work but now it's a nightmare to get them working so I don't even bother no more. I just use a DVD player so I don't wreck my disk drive. What's worse is, my old 360 games don't work now since they are printed on older DVD type discs. Any Xbox One game or Series X game is fine. But If I was to buy some newer indie game which aren't large in file size and it's printed on a DVD type disk I'm out of luck. This is clearly a fault for certain Xbox disc drives as this happened to my Xbox One and Now my Series X and I take good care of them. The warranty on my Series X should have been extended to acknowledge this problem.
