Over the last couple of dashboard updates, Microsoft has slowly been refining the New Arrivals section of the Xbox Live Marketplace. Currently it quickly sorts content by type, making it easy to search for just new movies, games, or TV shows, for instance.
However, despite the multiple revisions, this feature still sports an issue that aggravates me to no end whenever I use it. The problem is that just like the Spotlight section that features a variety of old and new content - the same set for all users, the New Arrivals screen is also the same for all gamers. It is a list of what is new on the Marketplace, for everybody.
That means that if I go look at the list in the morning, and then later again in the evening, I keep seeing the same content. It may have been new to me the first time I saw it, but not after that. I wish the dashboard somehow kept track of what I had looked at, and either took those games off the New Arrivals list, or perhaps more sensibly (so that the list doesn't have to be totally recreated for each user), somehow dimmed the games that I had looked into. Sort of like marking your e-mail messages read. If I open up a game in the list to see the new items "inside" it, mark it as viewed, and thus not "new" anymore.
