If you're Microsoft and you're selling the Xbox 360 this fall to people who would be happy to avoid pressing buttons, how do you coax them into ... pressing buttons?

This new Xbox 360 dashboard tutorial appeared today on my Xbox 360. It was part of an update to my beta version of the revised Xbox 360 dashboard that will launch for all console owners in November.

The new dashboard is designed to be controlled by Xbox 360 controller or, in some fashion, by the Kinect audio and visual sensor system. A controller is suitablefor some functions, though, as this simple video tutorial explains.


If you are an experienced Xbox 360 user and you learn anything new from this video, that can be your little secret.
