Someone on another forum says they're updating now, so it looks like it might be active now! Unfortunately, I can't go home and check until 4pm or so.

I just got home (2:50 in D.C.) and it is updating as we speak...

...finished in less than 2 minutes!

Mine has not updated Could it be because I'm Silver?

Or because you didn't sign up for the early upgrade, or because you weren't picked, etc.

Not sure i quite understand the this. I didn't get the email (sounds like you didn't either) but you can update? I checked my connect.microsoft.com thingy, and saw the message you posted. Does this mean when I get home tonight I can get the NXE early? If so - rock on.

Yes, if you got that message on connect.microsoft, you are good. I've been reading on other forums that people who got that message but no email have just updated and are running the full NXE.

I'll be running home on my lunch to give it a whirl in about 40 minutes!

EDIT: Just checked my email and finally got the official word from MS. Timestamped : Friday, November 14, 2008 2:35 PM

Lunch? At 4 in the afternoon in Florida?

Cool Thanks! Let us know how it goes!

Just checked my email, and juse got it as well.

I just finished updating. Lucky Lucky me.

That was my problem with Netflix and PlayOn. My DSL is crap here and i only get 1.5 megs down. According to the PlayOn folks that is too slow to stream Netflix (even though i can stream it on my PC). They said that the PC can stream a lower quality feed that the PlayOn software can't get - therefore my connection chokes and the video won't show.

I'm REALLY digging the interface so far! Especially the game library. Now you can select your game in your library and theres a pane showing the downloads available for it in the marketplace without having to back out and enter the marketplace!

The Friends "list" is pretty cool now too. I can't wait to check out the party aspect but so far I'm the only one on my friends list that seems to have updated. :-(

I'll be doing mine tonight.

I feel so left out.

Stop commenting about the NXE!!!

It's not fair. No emails. No messages in connect.microsoft.com

Nothing.

I just did and am installing Gears 2 as I type.

Did I read wrong, I thought you would be able to snap a picture of the dash kinda like on the PS3. Am I imagining that or am I missing it somewhere in the dash?

All the themes load almost instantly and fade out/into the next one as you scroll through your list. Kinda cool. Most of them are jacked up though and totally worthless with this new layout.

*edit - so how do you delete zero point games from your gamertag?

I wonder what the limitations will be for those of us on SILVER. I do have a GOLD sub. code in waiting. I'm just curious if I'll need to activate it to fully enjoy the NXE.

Me too. I missed the initial sign-up period and there's no recourse! I'm not super anxious to get this, necessarily, it's just that I don't want to be downloading it at the same time as everybody else. Maybe I'll work from home that day so I can beat the rush.

You can't. That was never announced as a feature.

I thought I've seen more than a couple people mention deleting them.

Sweet. Thanks Jeremy. Worked like a charm.

Dude spoiler that shit!

I work like 2PM - 11/12PM. I can't do lunch halfway through my shift, as I'm teaching from 5PM-9PM.

Got my dashboard updated... I had seen it all before, but it is nice to have it on my 360. I really, really like the new interface and the way it is layed out.

Avatars - whatever. Nothing too exciting.

The netflix is awesome. I added new stuff while the netflix thing was up on the 360, and it was immediately available to watch on there. Great, great stuff.

Buying marketplace stuff on the PC then having it download when i turn on the console?! Awesome.
