SHORTBLOG: NXE Annoyances
Gamer Named Tim \| 9:10 PM on 11.19.2008	16 comments

Okay, okay, so the New Xbox Experience is pretty cool. I know it's only the first day that it's available but it's really quite buggy.

When I try to browse the videos available on the marketplace it takes soooooooo long for something to come up. The old way might have been less attractive than the new cover-flow like way of viewing content but I just wanna see what the fuck is available quickly. I've even gotten some kind of error code a few times today while browsing.

What annoys me the most, though, is that the new way in which you see who's online has frozen my 360 TWICE. If the 360 can't handle a shit-ton of moving avatars and always changing parties, then why the hell should that be the main way to view your friends? I guess I'll just try to avoid it by pressing the guide button until they can get it running smoothly.

Unless, of course all of this is just happening to me...

Major Nelson has already stated that there are some glitchy problems happening today. It's not surprising. relaxxxx

Gameboi

The only minor annoyance I've noticed is how the screen freezes for about a minute as you try and back out of viewing a friend's profile. Other than that, it's nice.

Gamer Named Tim

Dude, I'm not mad or anything. Of course it's not surprising.

MePlayGames

The only problem I've had with it so far is that when I installed Fable 2 it deleted all my saved games for it.

Tubatic

@meplaygames

Damn. Didn't happen to me.

For what its worth, menu browsing is so much faster now . . .

Dan CiTi

Yeah mines frozen up for 1-20 seconds enough times.

BlindsideDork

I'm not liking it...the menu's seem slower and I don't like the set-up...bah

Shin Oni

the only thing noticeable for me was the friend backout. Plus gettin out of games takes longer apparently.

seriously. it's day 1. no need to state the obvious.

manasteel88

mine hasn't frozen yet...I get 8000ffff and other error codes alot though

Gamer Named Tim

Also, a lot of gamerpics aren't showing up. Pretty sure every one that doesn't show up is the avatar gamerpic.

Shin Oni

actually that's with everyone from what i've seen. most of my friends (includin myself) still have our original pics and it still takes a good minute for them to load. dunno why but again, it's day 1.

I also noticed the system loves to follow your friend to the offline section if you're browsing the friendlist through the avatar graphics and they happen to go offline. the system forces itself to travel to the offline section to where the friend is...logged off. nothing big but it's happened at least 3 times to me today.

nebones

Just wait, they'll fix it.

ArrestedDeveloper

Switch your avatar to this instantly.

Char Aznable

I'm digging it so far. Browsing through friends will take some getting used to, but I actually like the avatars far more than I thought I would.

I also really appreciate the fact that it's quicker to type out messages - there used to be a slight delay after selecting a letter or whatever, but it's gone now. A very minor thing, but I was pleased nonetheless.

IzekialRage

I didn't have any real problems with it, but i did notice about fifty request from people to join their game after downloading it. People i had never met on LIVE at all. so annoying.
