Is it going to be good? I can't really say. It does look nice, at the least. The functionality in it seems improved upon the current dashboard, however some of the UI usability choices they made seem kind of... annoying? Since the new dashboard is in a coverflow type of setup, they 'conveniently' placed all your main channels among multiple advertisements. To get to, let's say, your gamer profile when you turn on your Xbox, you'll have to scroll through ads just to get to it. To get to your Games Library, you'll have to scroll through more ads. Etc.
The new avatar system looks nice and they have a wide selection of customization for people to tinker around with. They added a few new features to the new experience so that you can interact with your avatars. Furthermore, the Netflix channel looks decent and may just give me a reason to sign up to it.
Everything is a bit shinier than the last Xbox dashboard. We'll have to see how the community takes it when the update is released November 19th. Below is a video from CrunchGear that showcases and narrates a lot of the new Xbox 360 Experience.
