So today was the big day for the worldwide rollout of NXE, the all new dashboard for the Xbox 360.
There was a beta version on the net for a while that you could download, but you were not able to go onto xbox live until today if you had used the update in this way, and there was a trial thing with about 10,000 people each time getting to test out the full thing for bugs.
So now that it's here what do I think? Well I like it, it's a lot faster than the other version and looks a lot better, the avatars look very silly and if you try to make yourself and you're male you're going to look gay no matter what you do, so it's best to have fun with them and make one up (I made Gospel Elvis from the 68 comeback)
I love the ripping the game to HDD and I really like all the art for each game as you look through stuff, it feels very nice and loads fast to boot... OK! It did load fast around 10:20am this morning but now they servers are a bit overloaded so there's error codes all over the shop. So if you want to check it out, it will be best waiting a few days to let things settle down.
Oh!
AT LAST! they let you delete those old arcade trial versions from your game history; it took a lot of years but they got there in the end.:D
All in all it's a great update and worth the wait.
Below - It's ME! Well it's Elvis, from the 68 comeback special (gospel section) uh huh thaank you very much!
T.C.B Baby! (Elvis famous Taking Care of Business)
Below - My dad on Xbox Live as 'The Yawning Man' living up to his name as he seems to be asleep. (this is how your avatar looks when you're offline)
Below - It now shows you in picture format what your friends are doing and if there's a party you'll see a number of avatars all in a group (probably giving you a mexican wave)
