    Turn on the street theme to keep it
    Turn on the street theme to keep it "mad gully" in "tha hood!" "Word!"
    Quick update tonight from Major "The Maj" Nelson, also known as Microsoft's Larry Hryb. If you signed up for that New Xbox Experience preview awhile back but didn't get selected in any of the previous waves, get ready. They're adding everyone to the cool kids list tonight, so if you properly filled out your entry with the correct console ID and serial number, you should be receiving the update sometime within the next few hours.

    For everyone else, the updated dash will hit on Wednesday. At this point, I'm most looking forward to the rollout so we can stop talking about the "New Xbox Experience" and get on with our lives via the "Current Xbox Experience."

    I have been playing with it for the past hour and I'm really enjoying it.  I know I still have to get used to where some things are and all that but it's already much faster and easier to use.  I'm definitely signing up for netflix now.

    Cool beans. I'm installing Fable 2 at the moment, since the first thing NXE enables me to do is shut that game the fuck up.

    About damn time.

    When I signed up for this I entered my Serial Id and not my console Id, so no early update for me....damn it! What a waste of time.

    unsure but likely it will, or be included on games in the future or OXM discs.

    If only it were possible to sign up for it. As soon as I heard about it (each time!), I got online to sign up, but was always faced with a "This page is unavailable" screen. Oh well. I can wait until 24 hours.

    Traditionally Microsoft has made previous dashboard updates available in a downloadable ISO format.  I'm sure the same will be true here.

    And the only reason they're doing this is to alleviate some of the stress their servers will be taking come actual release date, by getting some of the crux out of the way sooner.
