What do you think of the "New XBOX Experience" (NXE)?

That is if you have a XBOX 360 that is...

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

They did a good job, but some of the menu placements are weird. I guess it is a matter of re-learning them.

The avatars are neat, hopefully we'll see more games that take advantage of them.

As for Netflix, it is awesome. The $8.99 plan is just a steal.

To me the rest is eye candy. It does look a million times better than the menus in my Wii, but it is still eye candy.

I really like the new experience. Much cleaner, and easier to navigate. The Netflix integration is very well done. The party system is great. The only thing I
am not in love with is the only thing that they force you to do and that the avitar, but once its done you don't have to worry about it.

Just recently got my 360, so Im not really attached to the old style. But I really like the fancy eye candyness of it. Would love to see more avatar usage and customabilty however.

I have to say it works fine, but I couldn't really care less about the avatars, so I would have been OK with it staying the same. The only time I tried a game installed to the HD (Assassin's Creed), it crashed on me, which it has never done from the DVD. I'm sure there are improvements, but I haven't really used anything different.

Try inputting a redemption code with the new UI... There are literally no screens that accept them in the main menu cascade. The only way you can redeem, lets say the 2 day Gold membership code that comes with Gears of War 2, is to hit the X button. Only that pop-up menu allows you to redeem codes, the other screens (that are the logical place to download content and pay for content) expect you to pay cash. I wonder how many people gave up trying to find the redemption page and just bought the Gold membership?

well i really like the format at first but the avatars as of now are pretty worthless. I would like to see some more games use them. Games that won't cost a fortune because we all know how much Microsoft like to nickel and dime it's customers. But i am in love with the new party chat system FINALLY a private chat with more than one person. i even did a quick lame review on my youtube of it
