    Re: Xbox Experience coming 11/19 - requires 128mb of space

    Pretty darn sweet I must say.

    The first thing people will do that own the 20gb hard drive is start deleting old XBLA trial games.

    2nd thing I tried was Netflix. Quality is on par with what they've been streaming to PCs. I just wish the Xbox adjusted for my aspect ratio. I get black bars down the side of my screen for the movies I've tried out. Oh, and I like how it resumed a movie where I left off viewing when I was watching it first on my PC.

    Achievements are layed out nicely in cascaded panes as you select a played game in your library. In those panes are separate ones for DLC and other details to see nicely organized.

    What can I say about the friends list.... I'll just say I didn't know Microsoft had it in em. They had to get help from the outside.

    The interface isn't choppy and slow like it used to be. I can see Microsoft better utilizing ad space now.

    Final thoughts. I don't see how anyone will be disappointed. It's so much nicer now.

        Aright, tried out the premium themes I got with Gears 2. These rock!!!

        First off, the image is already set up for the top part of the screen, so I have Marcus with a chainsaw on a Marley. BUT, the friends list, everyone is in front of Gears type stuff instead of houses or buildings. SWEET!

          I kinda sorta like the avatars, but they need a heck of a lot more customization options. Nice hat EG

            I can't figure out how to set my online status. In the old dashboard you just brought up your personal settings. I'm talking about the ability to set your status to..."Busy", "Away", "Appear Offline", etc.....any help?

                Yeah I'm hoping they have the crazy Jeff Bagwell-esque out of control goatee as an option for facial hair, decided to start sporting that and I need my avatar to have it for full immersion into the experience!

                  I'll have to check my settings not sure why it's not showing my recently played games.....

                  *EDIT*
                  Found it, it had my privacy settings for game history defaulted to "Friends Only"

                        No one knows yet except MS. I hope they release it late Tuesday night or after midnight compared to releasing it Wednesday afternoon.

                          Me too! I hope it's in the middle of the night so the impending Xbox Live down time is minimized. You know they're not gonna be able to deal with all this, I don't care what they say.

                            Sure aren't. Everyone comes home from work/school/whatever 4ish-5ish and release it then, bam. XBL down or really slow.
