With everybody on Xbox Live getting it from Wednesday and me getting into the third phase of the Preview Programme, I figured now would be a good time to discuss Microsoft's new toy.
I've been faffing about with it for just under a day now, and my expectations have been largely met (read: fairly muted). The hard drive access is so considerably quicker its worth the upgrade all on its own, and you can delete games off your gamercard if you have 0 points in them (tested rather successfully on that Street Fighter demo I played when I first got the console). On the other hand, I dont think they could have made the Marketplace more difficult to navigate for new arrivals (the A-Z listing however is a good idea). Avatars arent really very customisable either. I've yet to try hard drive loading, but as theres a bit on my copy of GTA IV which stubbornly refuses to load, so I think i'll try that and see if it'll work off the hard drive.
So, as I never got the chance to get all my questions answered about the NXE before I got the upgrade, I thought I would extend my services to answer as many questions as I can that you have about the new update. Just leave a reply and I shall do my best. This is also the place to voice any concerns or expectations you may have, so that I may dash(board) them vigorously.
