Now that you have had ample time to mess around with today’s newly released New Xbox Experience, we figured we’d point out a few NXE features that you may not have discovered.
Major Nelson created a list of the “Top 10 things to do when you get the New Xbox Experience”, which pretty much covers a lot of the NXE’s new additions and hidden bits. Didja know you can delete your zero Gamerscore games from your profile? Did you remember to look through the new Community Games? What about installing a game to your hard drive? Go get edjumicated!
Update:Major Nelson just sent word that the Netflix hiccups some were experiencing earlier today should now be resolved.
It looks like the the bad Netflix karma has struck again as we’re hearing reports that some gamers cannot get the New Xbox Experience enabled Netflix to work. According to reports, the Netflix activation code the 360 spits out isn’t being accepted on Netflix.com, making the entire “watch your Netflix movies on your Xbox” thing a non-reality.
We have yet to hear from Microsoft or Netflix regarding the issue that some are experiencing, so you’ll just have to sit tight. In the meantime, try restarting your console after installing the Netflix add-on. Some are claiming Netflix activation success after a simple restart.
Update: The New Xbox Experience is now available, ENJOY!
We’re mere hours away from the public release of the biggest and newest Xbox 360 dashboard update, the New Xbox Experience. The dashboard update will start releasing at 5:00AM eastern (2:00AM pacific) when everyone connected to Xbox Live will be prompted to download the NXE and go through a relatively simple install process. Note that you may not receive the NXE at exactly 5AM eastern seeing that this is a “rolling update” that will take a while to make it to everyone’s console. If you’re still not sure what’s included in the NXE, be sure to check out our comprehensive video analysis of all the NXE features and enhancements.
The wait is almost over, the New Xbox Experience is almost here and Avatars, Netflix, and parties are all waiting for you. Our fingers are crossed in hopes that Microsoft’s servers can handle the stress and that you, fellow fanboy, come to love the NXE. Bring on the update!
Major Nelson just sent word that EVERYONE who signed up for the New Xbox Experience preview a few weeks back will be receiving access to the NXE later tonight. That is, if you correctly filled in your console ID.
We’re told that the NXE will roll out within’ the next few hours to every guy and gal that signed up for the preview. True, you’ll only be getting NXE goodness a day early, but it’s a day earlier then the masses which instantly makes you uber l33t. Now run along and go enjoy the NXE.
Behold, fanboys, it’s the New Xbox Experience introduction video that you’ll be viewing on your own Xbox 360 this Wednesday when the NXE makes its official debut. The video is full of trippy and spectacular visuals (triptacular), a melting logo, some racing, intense tree climbing, a few musical things and a whirly wind of rainbow excitement. It’s the NXE, it’s exciting and it’s an introduction video to the most newest xboxiest experience … everest? Yeah, we’ll admit, the trippy visuals have officially altered our state of mind.
Our pal Major Nelson just posted a video detailing the New Xbox Experience installation process that everyone will be participating in next week when the NXE rolls out to the general Xbox Live public.
The installation process is rather straight forward, sign into Live, download a mini-update, restart, download big NXE update, restart and enjoy the welcome video. (Protip: The NXE welcome video is visually epic.) That’s it, NXE installed! All that’s left is a quick Avatar creation and then you’re set to enjoy all that the NXE has to offer. We’re sure your fanboy enthusiasm for the NXE is boiling over … only a few days to wait!
