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
I'd love to tell you that the New Xbox Experience HDMI-related sound issue from November has been addressed, but that'd be a lie. More than two months and 23 pages of complaints later, it persists. More » -

If you're accepted, you'll hear from them in about a week, meaning the preview should be within the next 10-14 days. Update: If you didn't get in, sorry, Major Nelson says it's full.

Hands On With The New Xbox Experience
The New Xbox Experience is ready to go live soon as part of the Xbox fall update, and after getting some quality face time with the UI and it's new features, I'm pretty impressed. The update addresses the core Xbox software on two levels: most notable is that the design of the UI received a complete overhaul, (mostly) eschewing the blades for a more immersive, intuitive, Media Center-like experience. Secondly, it adds new functionality, allowing for Netflix streaming, group-based gaming, heavily customized avatars, ripping games straight to HDD and an all new quick menu that comes up when you hit the home button.

Experience the New Xbox, Uh, Experience
Microsoft has launched a site all about the New Xbox Experience which gives you a feel for what it'll be like in motion by simulating the new dashboard. It also has some videos of new features in addition to the avatar creation one we already saw, like Parties, deeper social networking and more community content. I'm pretty excited about it. Too bad the site doesn't mention a date, though Major Nelson swears it won't be right after that massive outage on Monday. [New Xbox Experience via Kotaku]
