With the recent release (or probably, crash) of Home for PlayStation 3, Microsoft has decided to flex muscles showing the possibilities of the NXE in form of new free clothes, a Xmas greeting tool and Snow Globes where your alter-ego can meet your friends.
While PS3 users have to pay prices between 0.49$ and 0.99$ for a whole plethora of clothes and pieces of furniture for their personal creations, Microsoft has confirmed that (for the time being?) they don't intend to earn any cash with the Xbox Live Avatars.
GiantBomb: "The New Xbox Experience, or NXE, overhauled the XBOX 360's dashboard, released on November 19th, 2008."
I kind of liked the semi isometric appearance of the various screens. It gave the sense of depth where as this is more flat. I can assume it is that way for the ability to use hand motion to control the NXE.
At first I liked it but then I remembered that with the 3-D view you could actually see more content on screen in a better way.|
I like the simplicity of the presentation though, it looks slick. Just wish it was still 3-Dish
He might mean..
I wish PS3 looked like this; I dislike Xbox.
But this looks awesome.
Those blip sounds are awfully annoying. Can't understand why people don't turn them off...

There are so many out there on the internet that it's hard to distinguish which ones are which? Well, I guess that's only true if you were to ask anyone over the age of 40. It doesn't matter whether the community is your lame ass company putt-putt tournament featured on ESPN 4, or online friend communities like Myspace and Facebook, they all try to bring people closer together (and even some people you don't want to). Yep, I'm talking about Herbie "Pervy" in Accounts Recieveable."
