NXE
Xbox Live is all funny lookin' now. Is the "New Xbox Experience" blowing everybody's minds yet?
|
I was going to make this topic, but I forgot all about it.
I love NXE, now I can actually see my backgrounds, and the new home button guide is easier to manage, not to mention it opens faster. The new party chat is awesome as well, they should have included that from the very beginning. |
Definitely a vast improvement over the old setup. Seems like it runs a little smoother too.
|
I agree with you there. Now it doesn't take 5 minutes just to bring up my guide.
|
i like it my new gears 2 theme is awesome especially in the friends blade, also
|
I still wish you could see how the themes looked before you paid for them.
|
I like the HDD-installation-feature. Finally that dvd-drive shuts the hell up. Even though you can only install one game on the standart hdd...
|
One game :/
Im sure me and my 60 gig can manage more than that. Also, the avatars are disappointing to me for i am unable to create this. |
That look will be feasable when they have DLC for avatars.
|
i'm waiting for the ninja outfit
|
Im sure that there are dozens of 13 year old boys who want Hitler Mustaches on there.
|
Yeah, cause you're so above something like that.
|
I'd get one.

How are you guys seeing your backgrounds better? My castle crashers background is not very visible at all.

|
He does, it even has his stupid lumberjack beard.
|
FUCK YEAH. I like how your guy looks just like you, only dressed as a country music sensation.
|
wo jeff is black thats news too me
|
I tried to make my avatar look like Jesus. But they didnt have a plane white robe. >:

You're full of shit and don't look like everyone else. I remember when you posted your driver's license, and you look like a midget, ginger version of chunk from the goonies. All in all, you're quite the abomination.

Somehow? Prove me wrong, ugly. Prove me wrong.

This is righteous.
|
Mine is as close to me as I'm gonna get. Strangely, the avatar I have now is not reflected on my Xbox.com profile. The new one looks much better.
|
I'm pretty sure NXE makes my xbox freeze like a mother fucker ;/ I can barely even play left 4 dead anymore.
maybe its the game though, I don't know. |
man it's been the same way for me, but just for games I haven't installed. With Fable 2, it crashed within the first 5 minutes 3 consecutive times before I installed it. It's also frozen on Mass Effect, NFL head coach, and Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts. I'm running out of space :(
|
Never happened to me. Freaky shit. Maybe you should send it in.
|
where did it freeze on mass effect?
i dont really want to send it in it will supposedly take 3-4 weeks ;/ the weird thing about my xbox was that its brand new and it said the warranty was over october 29th... maybe its just some other error ;/ |
I did'n't really notice any major improvements performance wise, and I think it's a horrible design.
|
i dont remember what i was doing but it was one of the loading screens with the citadel, it just kept loading. Same with Head coach, it got stuck on a loading screen.
|
gay.
everything i read about this issue says that they are charging people to fix it ;/ so I guess I'm LUCK Y THAT ITS BRAND NEW. |
i exchanged by xbox and got a new one which has a JASPAH inside of it. The other one had a falcon or whatevr.
I'm scared to death of updating, though :( |
Does the Jasper you have have the memory inside of it, though?
|
yea it does. How come?
|
It's cool. Thass why. The internal memory. That and it sucks down less juice.
|
Ah yea, so far I'm really happy with it. My other one sounded REALLY LOUD when it would play discs. This one pretty much just sounds like a computer or something.
|
When I got mine back, it didn't sound like an airraft hangar, either. But it's not one of the Jaspers.
|
maybe it being so loud is an indication of it being broken, then. The first time we heard our xbox we thought it was broken, and it was...
|
I hope not. Mine's been noisy ever since I got it.
|
who knows im just theorizing emptily
but i did read that a lot of people get disc drive errors now ;/ |
my xbox360 sounds like a lawn mower when it's running
|
|
Has anybody played any of the community games?
I tried the demos for Carneyvale and Weapon of Choice. Both are surprisingly well done and fun, but nothing particularly special. |
How much do they charge for the community games? You should just be able to play em for free if you pay for a gold account. :\
|
They cost as much as arcade games, but yeah, they should be free or at least no more than 160 points (which is how much a 30 minute TV show runs).
|
400 points for most, i.e. $5.
|
Yeah, that's too much for the ones I've tried. They are decent games though. It'll be interesting to see what comes out of this.
|
Nxe seems to be working fine on my new xbox ;/ hopefully it stays that way.

The big grey blob covers up all of my hot high-resolution pornographic backgrounds, and that upsets me!
|
Yeah, that's really the only problem I have with he NXE, is that stupid blob. Fucks up your custom backgrounds.
|
they should let you put custom pics on the friends list just like the premium themes
|
So, overall, does everybody find it too buggy? I think it's great now that I'm used to it. Haven't had any problems with it or my Xbox itself (knock on wood) so far since launch, so I'm either in the clear or I'm due. I like NXE, though, it's easy to use and on the eyes.
|
i like it a lot now that i have a new xbox. Everything seems fine and i like watching netflix streaming stuff on my xbox.
|
I don't think it really adds anything. It takes a lot longer to log in with all the new crap, and in general, it seems like everything is taking a lot longer on the dashboard. And for what? An Xbox version of the Miis?
|
Well, it also added on easier to use news, updates, streaming, the marketplace was modified a little, and the party system is definitely welcome.
|
The blades were easy enough, Instead of adding mii's and shit, they should be adding more to what you can do with it. Like adding more compatibility with video files and that sort of thing. Unless they bring out some new amazing use for the Avatars besides sitting on the screen and being useless im going to say that it was completely fucking pointless to be forced to update to it.
|
It lets you save whole games to your HDD. It cuts way down on loading times, framerate issues and most importantly doesn't spin the disc so it's FUCKING QUIET.
which is fine if you don't mind using up 16 gigs for The Last Remnant, of course! |
do you still need the disc to play the games, or can you (theoretically) rent a game and install it, then return it and still be able to play it forever?
|
You need the disc. I'm sure there's a way to burn the necessary file onto a special disk, though....
|
It is terrible mainly because when someone sends you an invite to a game nothing pops up anymore to notify you of this.
|
No, I've been getting invites a lot. Maybe it's just you. Maybe it's just me that's getting them.
Also, I love parties. Being able to chat through something else not the game makes it easier to talk when on different teams. |
Yeah, I've been getting those just fine.
Only thing that sucks about parties s you need Gold to use it, which I just ran out of. |
The invites still pop up for you guys like in the old version? Like is till receicve invites I just dont get notified of them unless I look myself
