Xbox 360 update - how do I get to media center?

Hi guys,

I had a quick play with the updated dashboard the other day, but for the life of me, couldn't find how to get into Media center from there... Quite often we use the xbox360 controller to navigate, and as such it doesn't have a media centre green button.

Thanks
Tony

You could press Media Center on your remote control ? Or navigate to Video along the top menu then select My Video Apps then in here you should see a new blue tile for MCE.

Gotta love software updates.. Took me a day and a half to figure out how to change the darn theme! LOL.. Would like the new dashboard a bit better if you could pin things you use most to the main screen like WP7.. Would like to pin WMC to the main screen in the video section!

Not much chance of that happening I don't think !

nope. fisrt they hide MC in Windows by not promoting it.. Then they basically destroy the Green Button Forum my smashing it into a Microsoft forum aka WEC... Now give it a tiny tile in Video in the XBOX... Thanks Microsoft... Thanks.

Which is why you don't buy that one, and buy the older one instead. $20 at Amazon.

Or, buy a Harmony 300 and use its Menu button.
