• Dashboard/Guide to be Updated Late 2009

  Doesn't sound like another complete overhall but more streamlining of the Guide vs the Dashboard. But we will proably see the implementation of Twitter, Facebook, and Last.fm in this update. I assume at this point it will be in Novemeber just following tradition. Good news, according to Microsoft 's Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb, who told...

• [NXE]: Top 10 Things from MN plus Startup to Media Center

  Major Nelson has posted the top 10 things to do in NXE when you start up. Even though I do not currently use Media Center through the Xbox, I love the way MSFT is thinking. The New Xbox Experience is in the process of being deployed to all Xbox LIVE members, but it will take a few hours for everyone to get the prompt to update to NXE….be patient...

• [NXE]: Xbox Live Primetime Delayed Until Spring

  This does not affect the entire NXE, just the Primetime portion. But very disappointing as I was looking forward to at least checking this out. When it was announced in July at E3, "Xbox Live Primetime" was described as a major component of the Xbox relaunch. Virtual game shows, which would only be playable at regularly scheduled times, would... Posted Oct 21 2008, 08:19 AM by cosmo with | with 7 comment(s) Filed under: NXE

• Microsoft Releases NXE Storage Solution For HD-less Peeps

  As cosmo blogged about last week, we learned at TGS '08 (Tokyo Game Show) that the NXE or New Xbox Experience requires at least 128MB in memory. This could cause a 'slight' issue for peeps who bought the Core Xbox 360 (no HD, no memory card included) or the Arcade Xbox 360 (no HD, 256 MB Memory card included)....ie they might not have enough...

• Some NXE Info: 128MB of Storage Needed and Hosted on the Server

  Two sources of info on this and am interested to see what MSFT's solution is for those with Arcade units who do not have hard drive's. Maybe free 512MB memory units?? Wouldn't that be nice. Even more interesting is that MTV Multiplayer has a blurb about NXE being hosted on the servers so updates could be done more easily. Via Xbox360 Fanboy...
