Microsoft's decision to cleanse the world of the old Xbox 360 dashboard continues apace with news that the NXE will appear as part of the next issue of Official Xbox Magazine. It'll be on the cover disc for idiots with an unconnected console to manually install.
This disc comes prior to the forced NXE installation that Microsoft will be implementing soon, as it packs the NXE into upcoming game discs and makes customers go through the process before being allowed to play. This is your last chance to do it voluntarily, before Microsoft starts lining people up against the wall.
You WILL like the New Xbox Experience, or Microsoft will f*cking kill you.

I like the NXE, in a bimboish sort of way - it's just as functional as last time around but it's much prettier!

NXE freezes, takes forever to load music (I keep MP3s on a USB flash drive so it doesn't eat away anything on the 20GB HDD) and I'm pretty sure the NXE contributed to my RROD 2 months ago. Thanks Microsoft.
M$ always pulls all kinds of crap. For my PC I have never in over 20 years ever seen a release of Windows anything that didn't need patches and bug fixes galore.
Of course I remember running an 8088 procressor the one that came before the 8086 and all other --86 CPU's.
I'm not saying the Xbox 360 is bad, but rather the BS that M$ pulls with ALL their products is just too much.

EX. no more support or patches for XP so people are forced to goto Vista or something else.

nah seriously, its just a way to get updates to their users, sony has been doing forced updates via gamediscs for years...
The old dashboard was laggy and froze up as well. I have not seen any markedly drastic increase in lag, loading times or any other frustrating phenomena. It's the same just looks better and with extra "blades".
No, I take that back. I contend that it loads FASTER now. Your complaints have now been offset - have a great day complaining about something else corporate. I am off to cut down a tree.
