A Look at the New Xbox Experience (NXE)
Posted by Darius Wey in "Digital Home Software" @ 10:15 AM
It's been three years since Microsoft released the Xbox 360, and with the release of new hardware and new services, huge gaming announcements, and price drops, suffice it to say that it's come a long way since then. But with all that was introduced, one thing that remained stale was the Blades interface. It actually was and still is a solid interface, but in an age where online content rules, Blades certainly could have used a few tweaks to give it a little more shine. Microsoft went one better, though. In the early hours of yesterday morning (Pacific time), a switch was flicked and the highly-anticipated New Xbox Experience (NXE) was made available to each and every Xbox 360 owner.
I had the pleasure of using NXE before its release, and used that opportunity to explore it in its entirety. This article focuses on some of the key features NXE brings to the table, so if you're interested in learning more, read on!
