Occasionally it freezes when I flip through the menus too fast, but it hasn't killed my 360. At least, not yet.

I have had that happen a few times, but nothing longer than 30 seconds or so. I imagine this is because it's just new.

I installed it, my 360 didn't brick but it does freeze and it won't play the few 360 games I have (dead rising in particular, the one 360 game I still play). I thought it was an anomaly till I did my daily dose of Engadget. I got off easy it seems (I have a March 2006 model so I'm not sure if thats the same as launch, who knows).

Usually I don't post in this kind of topic, but when I saw this particular post I couldn't stop thinking about this thread.

Well,to be fair every time Microsoft and Sony drops a new firmware this kind of troubles happen,let's don't magnify this as many 360 fans do it against PS3's -sometimes- troublesome updates.

Impulsivity, stop gloating about this, that's just not nice.

Also, I seem to recall this happened to the PS3 a while back when there was a firmware update - it's not gonna be a big deal, they'll release NXE 1.0.1 in a week and this'll all be over

If I could, I would blame my DVD drive failing due to the NXE update. Maybe I should try it. I haven't updated my Launch 360 yet with a broken DVD drive.

or I could use it for Netflix only, which I love.
