New Xbox Experience (NXE) Review: It's Pure Improvement

http://gizmodo.com/5070189/new-xbox-experience-nxe-review-its-pure-improvement

 

Their Conclusion:

Ultimately, it doesn't matter whether or not you like NXE, since we're all going to be forced to update the firmware to connect to Xbox Live. But luckily, NXE is an all-around upgrade from the old 360 OS—which really wasn't so bad in its own right.

NXE is faster, prettier and more functional than its predecessor. It brings us avatars and Netflix, full game installs and more robust multiplayer. Truth be told, we could have been shown NXE as the operating system behind the Xbox 720, and life wouldn't have been so bad. Instead, we get it a few years early. And we consider ourselves lucky.

 

They apparently think its much of an improvement to the old one. Me wants this "NXE".

I'm not one to wish my life away, but I wish it was the 19th already.

Looks good. They are sending out the e-mails that are in the NXE preview group as we speak.. Hopefully I am in.

Yeah I was a little skeptical at first but let's face it; the dashboard was long overdue for an overhaul. Hopefully I'll get into the beta.



I'm a filmmaker, writer, and gamer. Add me on Xbox Live or message me!

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

You SOB.  LOL.  From the comments on Major Nelson's site, it was mostly people not in the US that got in.
