Fan-made "ultimate" Xbox One UI video gets Microsoft's attention

[THUMBS]

Adds swappable backgrounds, colours schemes, see-through tiles and more
Have you got time in your life for some thumping rock music and a range of charming transparency effects? Then gaze in awe and consternation at this "Ultimate Xbox One UI" video mock-up from PrimeGhost Gaming.

Knocked together using Adobe Flash, it's a bit rough and ready in places, but the idea of being able to switch in different backgrounds care of a sidebar seems very worthwhile. The video appears to have impressed Microsoft PR man Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb. More to follow?


There continues to be upset about the discrepancy between Xbox One and Xbox 360's user interface and dashboard functionality. Nelson has claimed that it's unrealistic to expect feature parity between an eight year old console and a machine with completely different processing architecture that's only been on sale for months - apparently, Microsoft "can't just plop Xbox 360 features into the code base of Xbox One".

What do you reckon?
