NXE lets you cache games on the HD
NXE lets you use avatars
NXE lets you stream netflix, and has better native support for VGA

What's there not to like?

im not sure what the first one means so i probably wont use it, i think the avitars are a cheap knock off of the wii, and i bought my dvd player for watching dvds and my xbox to play video games, basicly there is nothing new that i would use, and all i really use my xbox for anymore is to play halo on the weekend with my buddies im not that into gaming anymore, the last game i bought was gta IV

[DelSlow]

Cheap knock off of the Wii....lol...yes they look very 'cheap'

Other than loading the games onto the hdd, the best feature so far is team chat. Wanted to chat with just teammates instead of listening to the opponents but was only able to have private chats. Now it supports team chat with more than 2 people!

^^ I like the team chat so you don't have to listen to all the little 12 years olds whine in your ear all the time. Just talk to the people you want to. The netflix is sweet, I've been catching up on my episodes of heros so I don't have to worry about actually seeing them on tv (since always busy). So far I like it, I may try out the hard drive caching tonight with forza and COD4.

Ha iv been doing the exact same. Since it came out on Wed. i just got done watching season 1. Such a badass show...

[TurboGTU]

I have season 1 on HD DVD and season 2 on regular. I've been missing the current season on tv every week though, was nice to get caught up on where the series is again.

[Phats]

so where exactly do you do the hard drive thingy? i couldnt seem to find it.

[Jim]

My Xbox -> Game Disc -> press Y
Copy game to HD

[Phats]

Xbox blu-ray? Nope.
Xbox rrod around 33%? Yep.
Xbox built-in wireless? Nope.
Xbox internet free? Nope.
Loud as shit? Yep.
Proprietary HD? Yep.
Huge, ugly external power supply? Yep.
1080p? Nope.
Upscales DVD? Not that I'm aware of.
Folding @ home/synergistic computing? Nope.

Both have their strengths and weaknesses. The PS3's fatal flaw is a memory bottleneck but other than that, processing power is far superior to the 360. All-in-all, the notion that the PS3 is much more expensive than the 360 is totally overblown. When you actually compare the systems on a equal level, the cost is approximately equal.

Take it with a grain of salt I guess.
