Haha! I'm loving it! The layout is wonderful and just seems so more natural in how things are collated and sectioned. I love the fact that you can now see who someone is playing with without going and checking their friends list. Netflix through my 360 works perfectly and I have to say Avatars are pretty damn cool. Many people equate them to Nintendo Mii's and in a way they are. But they serve more purposes than using them in Wii Sports and such. They just give a more personal touch to everyone on your friends list.

Man, very impressed. Only thing I can really knock on is the giant grey floor. Wish I could make it out of glass so I could see my theme which is messed up. Oh well. One step back, ten steps forward.

It was just a big ol' pile of "meh" to me. I don't have Netflix, so maybe you need it to get the whole experience. I don't think I even saw a link to join Netflix on there. Maybe it's not available in Canada.

It isn't. Apparently they will be expanding once your government allows them though. Or so I've heard.

Seriously though, have you tried the chat? It's nice having 8 buddies in one together without having to boot the same game up. 2 can be playing COD:WAW while the others are playing Gears and you can still converse. That in itself was a sweet addition. Granted the NXE relies on people having a friends list for many of it's new features. If you don't, well a lot of it will seem pointless.

I love the party chat system we had a bunch on last night while some of us played Cod:WAW and others were playing other games.

I think its pure crap. They killed themes(all that money i spent was wasted and the new themes are to much), avatars are stupid(if i wanted some anime reject looking like a dumbass on my screen id have gotten a wii), and navagations a bitch and a half. The only good thing that came out of it is party chat and an easier to read messaging system. Oh and the ability to que downloads on xbox.com but the change wasnt worth it. They could've given us all that with out a total overhaul. Im just glad i got a PS3 so i dont have to stare at this crap all day long. I even heard the update killed a few consoles. So all and all i think its crap.

I hate it. I don't like the look. I also didn't like the 5 minute wait just to listen to music from an mp3 player that was hooked to the xbox. It was nearly instant before and now its takes 5 minutes. Yes, I really am bitching about waiting 5 minutes
