New 3D Xbox Interface combines Apple Cover Flow with Nintendo Miis

Microsoft just announced at the E3 2008 briefing a completely new interface for the Xbox 360 coming this fall. The first thing that comes to mind when you see the first screen is Apple Coverflow mixed with Nintendo Mii avatars with a little bit 3D.

The new Xbox 360 interface looks clean and by being able to kick off the avatar community with about 12 million users will give Microsoft an edge.
What is interesting is also the style break of the first shooter hard core games Microsoft just showed with the very cute looking avatars.
