The Xbox Dashboard is displayed when you turn on your Xbox console without a disc in the disc tray. You can use the Xbox Dashboard to adjust system settings, including audio, video, language, and memory management and you can save games and create soundtracks.
There are two versions of the Xbox Dashboard. The first is the standard dashboard that was available when the product released. The second is a "Live" version of the Xbox Dashboard that contains additional functionality for those customers who have purchased an Xbox LIVE Kit. The only difference between the two versions is the addition of the Xbox LIVE capabilities. The Xbox LIVE version of the Xbox Dashboard is now included with all new Xbox video game systems.
