I spent all yesterday playing with the NXE, and I am quite impressed. It isn’t as good as expectations lead it to be, but few things are. All in all, apart from a few networking issues, it was a perfect update. The new features they added make it a faster console to use, and a fun-er console to use. Tasks that used to take many clicks now can be achieved almost instantaneously, and you can do far more in game far faster, so you spend less time changing your music track and more time gaming.

Kotaku got their first hands-on in real life with the NXE, and they talked about some surprising details. Its nice to have an unbiased article about it. You will likely see several more, as the early preview has launched. Unfortunately, I was not one to receive an email, so you will not be getting one from here.
One of the features i have mentioned in the past about the NXE was the ability to watch Netflix movies with up to 8 friends.
Apparently this has been cut from the initial release in November, but may be added into the console’s feature set at any time.
Photosharing, however, will be included at launch (yay).
From the MS Press Briefing:
Photo Sharing is going to be available at launch.
With regards to movies, the New Xbox Experience is a long term initiative, what we are rolling out in November is only the beginning! With the New Xbox Experience we will have the flexibility to roll out features and updates dynamically, unlike in the past where we were on a more biannual schedule. So, there are a lot more exciting features, including Movie Sharing that will be coming soon.
At TGS, Microsoft has showcased many disputed features of the NXE. These include things such as Drive Loading[1], Avatars, and the marketplace interface.
Kotaku has a video of this.
From watching the video, i have made several assumptions and analyzations.

This was just confirmed by Major Nelson on his blog, and announced by John Schappert. The New Xbox 360 Experience (avatars and all that stuff) will be released worldwide on Nov. 19th
This is from the TGS.
Over at the gamerscore blog, they have released info about the way the games store will work on the new xbox360 experience.
Activision has announced that Geometry Wars 2 is coming out, sooner than you may think. During E3, they told us August 6th, but now, they have announced that the game will be avalible for 800 on July 30th. Thats 6 days early.
They also announced details about the game. There will be 5 gametypes. Waves (The classic one), Pacifism (Yes, the achievement is now a game mode), and King, Deadline, and Sequence.
All gametypes can be played solo, or with up to 4 people on one console. Multiplayer allows for co-op and competitive modes. Also, a co-pilot mode is said to be avalible, in which one player shoots and the other drives. No word on Xbox Live.
Today was the first day of E3, and microsoft kicked it off with a bang, revealing many things at their press conference. Things from innovative new games to xbox live features. The new games, while cool looking, don’t really pike my interest. However, the xbox live update looks like it will be amazing.
