Xbox 360 NXE

Simul4ti0n · #1 (**permalink**) 11-19-2008, 07:50 AM

So what do you guys think of the Xbox 360 NXE? Good or Bad?

NXE is the new Xbox 360 OS for those who don't know.

Where's the option to go back to the original?

Honestly, the first few minutes I spent on it this morning... I feel like it's a mimic of the Wii

I feel like M$ and Sony have nothing better to do then copy Nintendo

Where's the "neutral" option?

I didn't think about neutral. Is there a way I can add it without deleting the thread? This is my first poll. Anyway, yeah the avatar thing is a copy of the Wii, but the rest of it is really nice. They should get some of the Xbox developers working on Windows. lolz

I think you can edit it by editing your first post. But don't quote me on that. I'll mess around with the new XBOX Live this afternoon when I get off of work.

A moderator or admin can edit the poll for you. I added a don't care option, let me know if you want any other options.

I don't understeer in Forza 2. In fact I was messing around in it last night and got pissed because I drove off into the grass when trying to break a lap record. I got a little reckless and beat the crap outta my car and still won. I love that you can actually take out your anger on the car.

Anyway, enough Forza. Sorry, I tried to edit the poll from the original post and it didn't work.

Awesome, thanks Melti.

Yeah. My xbox used to go into power saving mode (whatever they call it) while on the menus.. Now it runs the cooling fans flat out like its gaming. Anyone realised they have done this after many 360s exited their warranty period? /tinfoil hat

Mine doesn't run any louder than before. I don't have the original motherboard though. I was replaced because of RRoD.

I'm on my third XBOX 360 and last week, the disk drive wasn't working properly

Where the fark are the jasper units?!

**SuperDouche** · #15 (**permalink**) 11-19-2008, 11:11 AM

I need to DL this tonight. Should be interesting.

I'm really tempted to buy a new jasper unit and craigslist my old one.

I thought the Jasper units were out already. They're not?

The "falcon" is out which was a die shrink of the CPU. As well as a modded heatsink and smaller power supply (small as in uses less power, not physically smaller).

Its pretty good. I love the idea of installing games, but I hate that my hard drive is only 20 gigs. Party chat is just nasty. I think it uses less resources guys, so it should work less hard.

I am still in the process of downloading the update(s).
So, far...I am neither against it or for it. I do want to try the Netflix streaming, thought...which is probably why it's taking a long time to update.

I'll vote when I actually get to play with the new GUI.
