So, Joytiq had some hands-on with a current version of the NXE, and though it still wasn't complete, their opinion seemed very good:

Looks ugly as shit. Is that a Mii? Microsoft, you are MICRO-FUCKING-SOFT, why are you ripping off shitty little Nintendo?

It's all about the money now man. But I'm really not happy with the Mii bullshit either.
I don't care much for the avatars. I'm digging the new party system and the seemingly faster dashboard
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere you have the option between dashboards still so :3

Oh well then I don't really care then. I was under the impression they were impressing the change upon us.
Well, I know I'll be taking the NXE anyways
I really can't wait. I'm already set on the look, it's really nice, but I really want it to be more practical and run quicker. Opening up the dashboard now sometimes is p. laggy and annoying. Navigating through it is quite slow and I just want it all to be more fluid.
fingaz crossed
EDIT: Also, do you need XBL to download this?
and I ain't too crazy on the avatars (which you can choose to not have btw) but they are definetely a lot more extensive than Mii's and some clothing looked real nice so I might try one out.

They also said the library will grow, and It wouldn't surprise me if they release outfit packs on the XBL marketplace too.
Yeah they said they'd release more outfits which sounds p. gr8.
The old dashboard was ugly as shit
But but... I don't want to lose my streetfighter theme
I love it when people bitch about optional features.

Im pretty sure you'll be able to keep your themes.
I won't be using this, that's for sure!
I'll be too busy playing Wrath of the Lich King.
I'll be too busy fingering my ass.

I decoded this to; "I will be too, oh god what am i doing?!"
It sounds like a bunch of special features that you'll have to pay for.
It doesn't seem that worthwhile to me yet. :(
I messed about with it a bit back in July when they were showing it off at Gamefest. At the time there wasn't any actual functionality, and they only had images in there as samples to show, you couldn't actually activate any of the features yet (even existing ones). So it was basically just the sections and movement, and the movement actually made it seem like it could be a bit more time consuming to get to where you needed to go, because you'd have to travel through this whole list one by one (albeit kind of quickly), or click a bunch of things to subcategorize down to where it was more precise. It's not like the Playstation Store where it shows you everything in a grid and you can quickly skip chunks of content (since each row has 5 or 6 items) to get to where you need.
That being said, it felt a lot more fluid, and it was still in its early stages. But if it still acts like it did then, this will actually feel like a downgrade in navigability, I feel.
Also, some people mis-read an interview that said that 'you'll still have a blades-like system when you hit the xbox guide button' as being 'you can still keep the old blades interface'. They're totally wrong. Microsoft is not going to be supporting two interfaces at once. It's going to be forced on you if you connect to Xbox Live just like every video game and XBL update has been forced on you since the 360 came out. They're not going to waste time and resources refitting the old interface to support the new features (because it's already poor at handling those), and people are idiots to think they're going to.

There is NO option. you get the new dashboard. The Avatars are optional.
Well I'm personally quite thrilled about this new modification. The avatars look kinda fun and the party system looks too practical.
I like the current dashboard layout :(
Looks like I have to change the thread title!

Ah, I wonder if they changed it in the update? I could have swore it said the full experience was delayed. My bad. :wiebel:
Edit: Nope, I'm just a dickweed who can't read. Thanks for the catch!
