Anyone looking forward to the new party system in the New Xbox Experience? I've just read about it over at sarcastic gamer, and the idea of getting a group of friends together, and being able to hop from game to game without needing to leave the party sounds really useful.

Not... really.

This is one of the only things about the NXE I've been looking forward to, actually.

I think it sounds great and I look forward to 8 player voice chat probably more than anything else.

Absolutely.

This is probably the most useful feature NXE has to offer for me. I'm not really into the avatar thing, nor Netflix, so...

Eh, NXE seems the same old. I don't really see how it's different. It's the same functionality, except pretty. Like Macs.

Besides the party system, the only thing about the NXE I really care about is that it's apparently faster. The current dashboard is god awful when trying to do something while running games.

The party system sounds great.
On the subject of the NXE in general, i dont mind how it looks (i like what i've seen) as long as it responds faster and lets me get to where i want to go quicker. The current UI is umm,,, well pretty dam crap to be honest. It's a slug, but then microsoft is only just now getting the idea that less is better, that people want fast response not more poorly coded memory slugged features. Hell it's now there phylosophy for Windows 7, it'll be great on live.
