did you really DL it or are you here just to spread BS. because i DL NXE this morn before i left for work. and it worked nicely. i got a quick game in of gears 2. and the load-time was much quicker. i found it much easier to find thing. i may take alittle getting uses to. but in no why did MS fail with the NXE. beside maybe if you wasn't trying to find something to complain about. you would have notice these things. and after reading your last statement about ps3's home. told me alot.

It's nice. The old dashboard was easier and quicker to navigate through but that could just be cause we were so used to it. The new one is the same except it looks better and things are organized better.

How is it more difficult? for the weak of mind (people who find the new setup to complicated) there is still all the old setup available, simply hit the guide button and wallah the old setup with all options in the same places they used to be.

I thought the last update made the dashboard more confusing. Everything felt hidden within menu after submenu after submenu.

I actually love it. The dashboard is alot more interesting, and it feels like it has alot more options. The only gripe I have with it is, it takes a little longer to load some menus, but it is forgiven considering how many sub menus it has now.

They've put the entire old dashboard on the guide button. There is literally no complaint you can make thanks to them doing that. The new dashboard is much nicer to look at, but if you hate it for whatever reason, you're one button away from the old one.

...oh yeah, another gripe is I feel like my old themes have been wasted since some of the picture gets covered by the semi globe on the bottom of the screen. Oh well, I guess I should get two premium themes:cry:

Yeah, I'm bitter about them taking away the Transformer sound effects of flipping through the blades, too. (Ok, so technically, they're still there if you press the guide button, but they're out of order and sound wrong...)

Same here.  This guy is smoking crack if he thinks it looks worse than the old system.  Thats like saying Vista looks worse than XP.  NXE certainly won't change your life, but it looks waaaaaay better than the old system.  I dl'd it before I went to work and used it for like 5 minutes.  Its not hard to find stuff.  Its not the same as the old one, but its not hard to find stuff.  Don't be afraid of change!

It's WAY easier to navigate. Press GUIDE and go to quick launch... every game on your xbox is on that list and can be launched from right there. There is no faster way than that, its two clicks and a choice...

Also, the whole console runs faster, and with HDD installs, I don't have to hear my DVD drive spinning all the time. You are in the minority, it's a great update!!

No offence buddy, but your sig lists your PSN name, but it doesn't show anything about an XBOX Live name. So i'm calling BS.

I've noticed that it takes alot less time to bring up the guide when in the middle of a game.

This is so sad, it's so sad that a dashboard upgrade can piss some people off so much. Why are you so pissed and wtf does a dashboard upgrade have to do with PS3 winning?

The way I see it, the only people who could enjoy the NXE are those who'd love a Wii (both terrible, worthless things IMO). For those of us who don't enjoy flaunting the ipod hipster within, they could've at least made it possible to use the old UI.

Personally, I never understood how anyone could stand the "blade system." It was so convoluted and annoying. At least the new one looks like it's closer to Sony's interface in terms of function.

The dashboard was fine how it was. They made "additions" to it, no matter how you look at it....its a win for XBOX 360 gamers.

Yep, just a new coat of paint to the same car is all it is. It does look good, though. I really don't understand why there were people actually excited for it other than the Netflix deal.

I don't know if it's your fanboy tone or the "this is just one big failure" that makes me not buy it.

Its way better than the old Xbox 360 dashboard and plus it is easier to find things . If you hate it then go play games on the crappy PSN.

I thought it would make games load faster, even slightly, but I haven't noticed. The only thing they're good at are taking space and reducing wear and tear, which as I stated in another thread, is no concern to me.

Xprivateryan22X is my 360 gamertag, add me if you want. Although I doubt I will be on much. I just really don't like the 360, its too loud and it doesn't feel like I am using a very high quality product. (back to my PS3)

If anything the installing games to the hard drive is the only bright side of this NXE, I noticed my 360 no longer sounds like an airplane before take off....

Ehh. I don't really care. To me, all I do is put in a game and play anyways. For some reason, it seems slower to bring up the menu when in game though right? At least for me it is. But generally, I have no use for it just like I have no use for home.
