Microsoft Releasing Faster Xbox 360 Dashboard This Year
Did anyone else notice? When NXE launched, it was pretty quick. But it's just gotten slower...and slower. (Thanks ads!) Luckily, Microsoft is admitting there's an issue and has a plan to fix it. More »

Microsoft Explains that Every Xbox Avatar Has a 'Real'
Microsoft's latest clip offers a somewhat brilliant introduction to NXE, the Xbox 360's new interface. It's a commercial, yes, but the spot has a Pixaresque sensibility that makes the whole thing dreadfully charming. [Thanks Leo!]

NXE Will Soon Be a Mandatory Update for All Xbox 360s
As of now, a few Xbox owners have been holed up in a cave, fending off The New Xbox Experience with a torch (and not connecting to LIVE). Those dark days must end. More »

Xbox 360 HDMI Sound Issue Remains Unexplained, Unaddressed

Sony Has No Plans to Put Netflix on PS3
Bad news, PS3ers. While most of us saw Netflix on the PS3 as inevitable, Sony is not only denying rumors of it's arrival to the PS3, they're explaining why they think it's a horrible idea.

New Xbox 360 Motherboard Leaked, Has 256MB Flash Memory
Jasper, the next version of the Xbox 360 motherboard, has been leaked and apparently it comes with new unannounced goodies. Apart from the rumored 65nm graphics processing unit—the unit uses a 150W power supply, 25W less than before, which signals a lower consumption most probably caused by the reduced GPU footprint—the new units allegedly come with a new south bridge and, surprise surprise, a 256MB flash memory chip for internal storage.

Apparently, the problem only appears in HDMI-connected systems. but there has been one report of someone having the same problem using a SCART connector. Fortunately, there seems to be a fix. More »

NXE Launches With Relative Smoothness
Reports from the front lines regarding the Xbox 360's 'New Xbox Experience' update are just coming in, and so far, so good. We've heard that updates are taking as little as five minutes (including download and installation), which isn't bad at all. The only technical glitch we've heard about is that Netflix device activation went down for a bit, but it seems to be working now. Share your own experience in the comments and let us know if your system bricked or something so we can all have a good laugh. UPDATE: It looks like some "80072ee2" errors (time outs) are popping up, just like when the Halo 3 demo hit. Also, be sure to check: More » -

Xbox 360 Netflix Streaming Drops Sony's Columbia Pictures
In what's a slightly suspicious coincidence, but Sony's suddenly pulled a bunch of its movies from the Xbox's Netflix Watch Instantly streaming service just a few hours before Microsoft's New Xbox Experience goes live. Previously available titles like Superbad and Bad Boys, which are owned by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment subsidiary Columbia Pictures, have been made unavailable for Xbox users. Netflix VP Steve Swasey says there's no foul play involved, and that the NXE Instant Queue had just run into a licensing issue with Columbia Pictures. [Joystiq via Engadget]

The New Xbox Experience is, in a word, fantastic—I got to check it myself out last week, and was amazed by its totally smooth re-imagining of the Xbox UI. If you're jealous, you won't have to be for long. On his podcast, Major Nelson not-so-subtly hinted you'll be able play with it early, maybe as soon as next week: More »

Microsoft NXE Deal Upgrades Your Xbox 360 Memory For Less
Afraid your Xbox doesn't have enough memory for the New Xbox Experience? So is Microsoft, and they're willing to sell you the storage space you need for a much reduced price. You can now log on to the company's Xbox site to see if you're eligible for one of their special memory upgrade offers. Under their deal, a 20GB hard drive will run you $20—not bad, considering Microsoft usually sells it for closer to $80. [- Thanks Adam!] -

Movie Parties and Photo Sharing Might Be Coming to New Xbox Experience
Besides just looking a lot snazzier, the New Xbox Experience uses a whole new foundation that's server-based rather than sitting on your hard drive, so it's easy for Microsoft to add on features and apps. One possibility is basically movie parties—you and your friends could all watch Indiana Jones on Netflix at the same time—or more likely, photo sharing. Update: A reader reminded us that movie sharing was actually supposed to be in the NXE in the first place, so you can probably count on it. But uh, where'd it go in the meantime? More »

The New Xbox Experience Requires 256MB Storage Card, Minimum
It's no surprise that The New Xbox Experience will squeeze within a memory card—Microsoft wants to make the software upgrade fit on removable flash storage for Xbox 360 Arcade users who lack hard drives. But the company has made it clear that Arcade users looking to upgrade will need a 256MB storage card, not the smaller 64MB model. So in other words, not every user will find themselves able to make the upgrade free. But this sort of situation is exactly why you shouldn't buy a 360 without a hard drive. [Xbox360Fanboy]

The New Xbox Experience Cometh on November 19
Microsoft's New Xbox Experience, the upcoming dashboard system that'll let you create avatars and social network, now has a set date for its worldwide launch—November 19. The guys from Redmond showed a completed version of the NXE at the Tokyo Game Show, and included a little Xbox-avatar Bill Gates announcing that he's "a PC." Cute. More »
