Posts: 3,136   |  Your Thoughts on the New Dashboard Experience? So after messing around with the NXE for some time I have decided it is much better than the old one and will only improve on the Xbox 360's overall experience; what are your thoughts? Post below, good or bad! My top three things to do with the NXE: 1) Netflix 2) Install Games to HD 3) Create/Customize an Avatar |

Posts: 786  | Avatar is stupid, wish I could avoid it. Eventually will put some games on the HDD so thats ok. I dont have Netflix. So the only thing that really makes me happy is the party chat. All the messages to and fro to set up a 4 player game between me and my buddies is rediculous. Now we can all just pop into the same party and make decisions on game settings and the such super easily. Awsome feature but it didnt requre a whole new dashboard lol. It looks fine though.

Posts: 6,768     | we don't get netflix here so i can count that one out. the avatards are ok, party chat is a good idea. kinda hard to navigate at the moment though, gonna take some time to get used to but overall it looks nicer and more modern than the stale old dashboard. i'd install a game to my HDD if i had any space but i don't so we can rule that out too

Posts: 1,269 | Ok, so now that I have KINDA figured out Netflix, I only have a few questions that I would like someone to answer: 1. I saw somewhere that you will be able to use Netflix as long as your a LIVE Gold member. Now that I'm looking at it, it looks like you have to ALSO be a Netflix member, which costs like $10 a month, to stream the vids. So which one is right? 2. I also heard that as long as they are all Gold Members, friends can watch movies together. Is that true? Please answer these questions, someone! |

Posts: 79 | It's a definite improvement. The use of the old themes is lame and I'm not too sure netflix is worth it now that I've used it but at least the plan is only $9. The avatars seem a little bare boned at the moment, and I hope they don't expect people to pay for digital attire. Game installs rawk. The look and feel is a great step up and finding what you want seems easier. If their was a rating to be had I'd give it a 9.

Posts: 446 | I really enjoy(ED) the quietness throughout COD4, but I might install Mass Effect instead. Just because of it's atmosphere.

Posts: 3,610 | i just am not liking those avatars. layout will take me a bit to re learn; i keep having to search for everything, cause i don't remember where it moved to. i actually haven't played a game since i downloaded the update though. |

Posts: 446 | The game won't change unless you install it. The disk still has to be present for you to run it though. For verification. When it's installed, the disk doesn't need to spin. So it's quieter.
