Yeah, it's a good idea. Depending on the types of games you enjoy, that is.
As for the NXE--it moves faster and looks better. That's what it needed to do. Big improvement, even if it brought with it uselesslike avatars.
I just got my 360 (Elite) back in the end of September and it is really pretty awesome.
The dashboard of the new 'Experience' runs a lot smoother it seems than the old one, though it is fairly obvious that they have a lot more ads up if you connect to Xbox Live. Fortunately, being a gamer, I don't mind seeing gaming ads.
The avatars are just glorified Miis, but it's entertaining to see all your friends' avatars lined up like a firing squad when you go online.
Installing games to the HD made me happier than anything. It makes much less bizarre noises. Now when I play the likes of Mass Effect I no longer get the feeling at any moment the 360 will transform into a robot dinosaur and go on a rampage.
I wish I had gotten a bigger HD now. I only have the 20GB. :aimblush:
Well this just might be my Christmas present to myself. Thanks for letting me crash your thread guys!
The old blades system is still available if you ht the xbox buton on the pad, quit your winging. The new system is far better.
The 360 is awesome until the bastard thing breaks and you can't understand how the buggery the repair system works.
Yeah, that's right. I'm Microsoft-repair-systemly retarded.
If it red-ringed, all you should have to do is go to Xbox.com, be logged in with the Live ID associated with your Xbox, and register your console. Then choose to get it repaired!
I did that, but then I got confused so ran away.
I'm not even kidding.
Does it auto-repair?
I don't quite get how it works.
Go to Xbox.com, sign in, click on Support, choose 360, then on the left side click on "Repair your console." Enter the serial number on the back of your 360. It might say "Standard Warranty Expired", but ignore that. Click on Repair Console, choose "3 red lights" as your problem. Then fill out your address and all that. I clicked on "Standard Shipping". With this, they sent me a box and a label within a few days. It had all the stuff I needed to wrap up and secure my 360. Then I put the 360 in the box, applied the label, and shipped it off. They repair it and send it back. At least, they will. I haven't got mine back yet. I'm pretty sure that was the order of the steps... It's been a few days since I did this now.
