If you do not have your Xbox 360 connected to Xbox Live, which is a distinct possibility if recent user numbers are to be believed, then you probably have no idea what NXE, avatars, and all this crazy stuff is. However, that is set to change, as Microsoft are now including the NXE update in all of their new games coming down the line.
The first games to have the mandatory update included on-disc will be Tom Clancy: H.A.W.X, and MLB: 2K9, Both of these games will not let you play them unless you accept the dashboard update that appears when you put in the disc into you 360.
If you held of this long, then saying goodbye to your old blade interface will be hard. Stay strong!
GiantBomb: "The New Xbox Experience, or NXE, overhauled the XBOX 360's dashboard, released on November 19th, 2008."
I kind of liked the semi isometric appearance of the various screens. It gave the sense of depth where as this is more flat. I can assume it is that way for the ability to use hand motion to control the NXE.
At first I liked it but then I remembered that with the 3-D view you could actually see more content on screen in a better way.|
I like the simplicity of the presentation though, it looks slick. Just wish it was still 3-Dish
He might mean..
I wish PS3 looked like this; I dislike Xbox.
But this looks awesome.
Those blip sounds are awfully annoying. Can't understand why people don't turn them off...

There are so many out there on the internet that it's hard to distinguish which ones are which? Well, I guess that's only true if you were to ask anyone over the age of 40. It doesn't matter whether the community is your lame ass company putt-putt tournament featured on ESPN 4, or online friend communities like Myspace and Facebook, they all try to bring people closer together (and even some people you don't want to). Yep, I'm talking about Herbie "Pervy" in Accounts Recieveable."
Videogamer posts their video preview of the NXE Fall Update.
hopefully i will get to see it myself i had to send my xbox in for repair can't wait to see it for myself.
couldn't they just ship the console with NXE instead of forcing it this way ?
I'm assuming this is for people who already have the 360.
I guess ppl who prefer the blade look are going to be out of luck.
Some games might need nxe to work.
To the people without Enternet there going to get Slammed.They will really miss the boat this time.
... whenever games on my PSP need firmware updates to run properly or whatever, they're included with the game... meybe it wont be as bad as you think...
