Sounds cool, I was kind of hoping they would go back to the old dashboard... It was so much easier for me to navigate through.

You did know that if you push the 360 button, it brings up the guide, which is basically a clone of what the old dashboard was, right?

Yeah that's what I use most of the time, it may not look as cool as the other stuff but I can do stuff faster.

Faster? The NXE is horribly slow, its ridiculous honestly that they released it the way it is. There's like a 3-4 second delay when you push the middle button, then to navigate to the friends list there's another 4 seconds, sending invites takes longer as well. Only reason I like the old one better was because it actually worked, NXE is wayyy too slow.

Maybe it's your xbox because its not slow at all for me

^I think it varies. I also get the weird pauses occasionally when trying to use the guide button to send invites or messages. But I've talked to some of my friends on XBL and theirs is fine. I really don't know what the issue could tie in with.

With the NXE I get severe issues lagging on games like Halo 1, and Halo 2, in multiplayer, and some REALLY REALLY bad graphical errors... People running around invisible, but there weapons show, and one time, master chief with the wrong images loaded so he appears as a different characture... Don't know if anyone else has issues with classic games and the NXE, but, it is getting really stupid... I even get some lag issues with Lost Planet and some other 360 games at times when there should be no lag, and no, I don't play the games online, they are all local games.

I meant that it's faster to navigate like that then using the dashboard... It's still much slower then the old dashboard and IMO the old one looked better.

My xbox has had similar lag problems in Halo CE but that's it.
