The good: Copying your game discs to the hard drive. No more WHIRRRRRR while you're playing, plus quicker loading and no more "please clean your disc, oh sorry.. did you want to save your game? TOUGH" messages.
The bad: They basically copied the Mii's on the Wii for the avatars. No, not even copied. Cut and pasted.
The ugly: All the avatars either look gay or an untidy homeless bum. I want to put myself in a suit with a monocle dammit. The only suits are tan (gay) or white (more gay) with zero custom options.
Ofcourse, Mii's are buttfucking ugly, and NXE Avatars look like Moral Orel characters.
More bads are the freezing that occurs on the friends list. Hopefully it gets rectified soon. Had it happen twice so far. And the Netflix library is kind of a let down. It's nice to have the option if you want to watch one of the movies in it, the selection isn't exactly great though. Skaw fucked around with this message on 11-19-2008 at 06:43 PM.
Yeah, the Avatars are pretty much MS's answer to Miis, but they are very well done. I do wish there were more clothing choices available, but, eh.
I do really like the fact I can set my Games Library to show only full games - I don't play the demos.
SC4 got a nice drop in loading times running off the HD - quite noticeable.
I can't find an option to specify the new 16:10 format - my TV is 1680x1050, connected with an HDMI cable. It may be how I have the TV set - I'll have to play with it more when I get home.
I swear the people on Xbox.com who are complaining about the NXE are just doing it to read their own text. You can't hate something that vehemently that was previewed for months. There should have been no surprises... and no, MS is not going to revert it, not even for you.

It should be abundantly clear that any time anything changes, ever, there will be people on the internet foaming at the mouth with hatred over the change.

Hey funny you should mention that, but did you notice how almost everybody in Obama's prospective cabinet is a washington lifetimer from the Clinton administration?
I guess that's kinda par for the course though, since all his platform ideas are also failed relics of past administrations.
Vote for change!
Well that kinda makes sense I guess.

So you think it might be a better idea to have an experienced cabinet than a bunch of totally new people full if weird ideas and no idea how to run anything?Well that kinda makes sense I guess.

gotta have people who have connections in there somewhere
You do know that being able to be like "you know that one shitty bill of yours that I voted for, buddy? well now you need to return the favor" is all that "washington insiders" are good for, right?
so how about that new xbox experience!? I turned it on to update and made an avatar, but I don't really ever use my xbox 360 Kegwen fucked around with this message on 11-20-2008 at 12:35 AM.
There is a lot of shit I want to play now

I now want to give way too much money to MS for a 120GB HD. Damn.

This hack is designed to work with a specific drive, the 120GB Western Digital Scorpio, model number WDGWD1200BEVS.
Any idea if there are other hacks that will work with other drives? The article doesn't mention anything other than the text above. Khyron fucked around with this message on 11-20-2008 at 02:20 PM.

The hack copies the MS signed, encrypted firmware from one drive to another, and it won't work on any other drive, so until someone cracks the encryption you're stuck with that specific size and model.
In fact as far as I know it's not even firmware, just a boot loader. Kinda like an encrypted ntldr
