New NXE Information: Movie Sharing, Updates, Size

The New Xbox Experience's launch is impending and the hype is building. In the past few days, Microsoft has given more information about the Xbox 360 revamp, including possible movie and photo sharing, the structure of updates, and the size of NXE.

Movie sharing, while not in the update now, is a possible future application.

Big updates will not be as frequent, but Microsoft will be able to update the service on the fly, no patches necessary.

NXE will be 128 MB, too big for original Core gamers or those with 64 MB memory cards, but Major Nelson has said that a "storage solution" is coming.

2 - It'll certainly be interesting, but...
I can see there being a lot of problems having the whole dashboard stored on servers that your machine has to have uninterrupted access to whenever you're using it. If anything were to happen to the servers the machines just wouldn't work. I'm sure they've thought about this but it just comes across as a bit dangerous.

I'm a bit confused though, could someone tell me what this NXE actually brings with it because from where I'm sitting all I see is a different menu and some Mii's that have got a bit lost (jk).

isnt this incorrect? NXE is going to replace the OS... but the OS isnt stored in the memory card. i guess itll be 128 mbs but once its installed onto the hardware itll erase the file.

The avatar customization and some other things will take up HD/memory card space.

3.2 - Yeah, a storage device is required.
Permanently with this update. Not just for installation.

I thought movie sharing was a major feature? I think it's not possible (legally). It was removed from Home as well and you can't say there were development issues on both consoles.

This is a reminder for the Sony fannies before they start bashing Microsoft for removing Video Sharing. Sony also removed a very similar feature from Home. So what goes around comes around & bashing either company for removing such a big & promised feature is pointless because guess what both companies did it

storage solution? Maybe a price drop on the HDD for Arcade users to upgrade to. More likely the 20GB
