The NXE Arrives

So today is the day that Xbox owners have been looking forward to or dreading. Either way there is no choice whether you use the New Xbox Experience or not so get used to it! Courtesy of Major Nelson here's a few things to try out once you've downloaded the update...

The most publicised one is to create (or customize) your Avatar.
When you are done, be sure to take a Gamer Picture of your Avatar. In the Avatar editor, choose Gamer Picture. You can use the controls to move your avatar around, zoom in and out or even change the background color (press Y).

Themes. While any themes you have should work with the NXE, check out some of the new themes via My Xbox and select your profile (second slot) and then change theme. Xbox 360, Spectrum, Day and Night are new themes that are available as part of your NXE upgrade…check them out.

One thing I didn't know was coming is the ability to delete zero gamerscore games. You can remove any games from your games played list that you have earned no achievements or gamerscore. Press the Xbox 360 guide button, navigate left to the games section and choose Achievements. From here choose the game with zero gamerscore you want to remove and press X (Delete Game History.)

Peace at last!...Install to / Play from Hard Drive.

A tip for exploring the all new dashboard - (use the trigger and bumpers to quickly scroll up and down or left and right).

Being the newest member on the GAMEOV3R Forum is a new experience most would rather miss...
