I just learned that even after installing a game to your HDD, you still need the disk in the disk tray... whatthef*ck? That's pretty stupid... regardless of their reasons, it's still stupid.

This disappoints me.

Well if you black people didn't constantly steal ****, then we wouldn't have to have the disk in the machine to prove we own it.

Installing it on your HDD is just meant to speed load time up. I'm pretty sure the people behind Halo 3 (or one of those kinda games) have openly said installing their game will make it load slower.

To me, there's no point in installing to HDD.

The new 360 experience is a love/hate thing for me x3

I love the new interface and way to scroll around and the party system is by far the best thing ever! I hate the new mii-ripoffs and how retarded they look however ><

Still that's just my useless opinion on the matter XP

I've never had ANY trouble with anything about the NXE. The party system works like a charm, PMing people is not a problem, and just about everything else conventional that you can think of has worked for me. It seems like a few people got screwed over. Maybe corrupt data or it's not integrating into your XBox as well as others or something.

If you can, try deleting and re-downloading it. It doesn't talk long at least.

I haven't had any trouble with it after that day.

I cancelled my Netflix yesterday. It's a nice service, but I'll wait until the selection is much more current.

I finally got a new Xbox and got it all set up. I am diggin the new dashboard, I made myself a mini-Swiss, and I chatted with E Wizzy on the party system... but the mics suck.

Now I just wish I had more games to play and more time to play them. I am supposed to be studying for finals but I likely bombed one today and I am drugged up now because I am getting sick.

I got Netflix running too (I'm a long time member, the whole xbox thing is just an added bonus) and yeah, the selection suxxorz... but it's a decent start. There are a few gems. Especially for me as someone who doesn't get any premium movie channels on regular cable.

Oh by the way, for those interested, I got the Messenger XBL Pack... sooo... I'm live bitchez!

I'm loving the NXE more and more every day. It's so easy to navigate and user friendly. To top it off, this upcoming Spring update, Microsoft is adding even more awesome features(forgot exactly what they were and where I read it, but I remember being excited for them when I did read them). Over all, this has made me love Xbox even more, and I have no intentions on switching to PoS3 again...unless they make a PoS3 exclusive nude volleyball game staring all of the actresses that I covet, which I doubt will ever happen.

That would be the greatest game of all history. I remember there were a nude patch for DoaX.

Sometimes, I can't connect to some people. I can't join my friend's party or during a game. I hope they will fix it. Otherwise, it's simple and easy to navigate.

I'm happy that seasons 1 and 2 of Jericho are able to be added to my Netflix "watch instantly" list... I saw the first episode of it a while back, and I've wanted to catch up with the series ever since.

So now I can, and everything is golden! Yipee!

I consider that a trade off though because a few months back I watched Dexter and had it in my Instant Q and now it has completely disappeared. I was saving it to watch on Xbox!


I like the newly added and surely limited time Snowglobe. I like shaking all my friends up.
