I really wish they allowed you to switch back to the old look, I miss my old themes.

I like the NXE very much though the premium themes are kinda rip off since it costs more only cuz of the friend list items. I don't even use that friend list so the new theme thing sucks for me.

One thing im missing in NXE is that you can't see how many achievements you have and how many you could have. You could see those in the old dashboard. (like 20000/30000 gamerscore in total)

I like the NXE a lot. Very easy to use, and it makes the 360 dashboard great to look at and offers more to venture onto when bored.

I like the look of NXE a lot, just not the fact that it freezes for a few seconds every time you call up the guide or do anything substantial with it.

I'm not a fan of the avatars... They're alright, but I don't like the gestures they randomly make... some of them are... weird.

The rest is pretty awesome though.

I like the party chat. I don't use NetFlix, so can't speak much for that. Avatars are just there. I've heard that there are plans to have avatar battles and such, but I don't know the truth to it.

Installing to the hard drive is good too... just wish Halo supported it. It's worked well so far with Ninja Gaiden.

I like the NXE a lot. Netflix is awesome through it... watching it now. Avatar is alright - I've never been big on that thing. I haven't tried HD install yet, but the interface is slick.

It seems a little "bloaty" if you know what i mean. The "OXE" (old xbox experience) did everything just as smoothly, if not better. it was a little cluttered, but i think the new one is just as cluttered, only in a different way. HDD installs are definitely worth it all though.
