Wow. What a difference a download makes. I've been thoroughly impressed with the new interface, and more importantly, how quickly and seamlessly it moves along as users flip through the screens. Being able to download the game to your hardware is also important - and hopefully it reduces the chance for a RROD scenario. 

What's the most ironic about the look is that it's a "rip-off" of two competitors that have dominated their respective markets: Apple and the Nintendo Wii. Good update, MS. I'm sure you'll find a way to get me to spend money on your new features/content.
