cjb1118 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I installed it earlier on a spare box. It's nice to try, but without Live it feels a bit bare. Probably not worth bothering with it until Microsoft allow anyone using it to connect.

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted October 31, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted October 31, 2008 Nope the "OS" is new and the kernel too.wow wow and wow, I'm loving it :D Yeah it's 10x better. Although Navigation still consists of ploughing through hundreds of menus. Hard drive installs work great. In-game dash is much better.

cjb1118 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Wait, even people that signed up can't connect to Live?? That can't be right?! The people that were accepted into the program through Connect can use Live fine.

Timan Veteran Posted October 31, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 31, 2008 Did they update the boot logo? Only reason I ask, is that intro video that first plays kinda starts off like the xbox boot logo but looks "LOADS BETTER" Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/690120-nxe-review-by-rahul/page/3/#findComment-590054692 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rahul Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 Did they update the boot logo?Only reason I ask, is that intro video that first plays kinda starts off like the xbox boot logo but looks "LOADS BETTER" The boot logo hasn't been updated. what you have seen is just the intro video.

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted October 31, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted October 31, 2008 I have a question regarding the loading from hard drive. If I install say, COD4 MW, onto my hard drive, and a week later I want to play the game again, the disc already inside of my machine, I load up my console, is it going to load right from my hard drive, or play from the disc? I would think it would give me the option when I load the game.

Ayepecks Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Should load from the hard drive. If you delete the contents from your hard drive it should load from the disc.

I would think it would give me the option when I load the game. It will load the game from the HD by default. a.) If you directly press A on the game menu to play , it will play through the HD as it is the obvious choice. b.) If you press Y & go into options , you will only have the option to play it from the HD. In other words if a game is installed to the Hd it can only be played through the HD if i dont make any sense please pardon me , im too frickin sleepy after eating all that biryani zzzzzzzzz..................!!!! plus now its 1:08 am zzzzzzzzzzzzz Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/690120-nxe-review-by-rahul/page/3/#findComment-590054792 Share on other sites More sharing options...

what Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I need Live, mostly for Gears of War atm and GoW2 when it comes out next week. Horde looks like too much fun to miss to lose my gamerpic and have some sparkly dashboard.
