Digiex Exclusive: Xbox 360 NXE Preview Dashboard Download

PLEASE NOTE: WHEN YOU CONNECT TO LIVE YOU WILL NOW BE UPDATED TO THE LATEST VERSION WITH AVATARS!

You can now download the NXE on Xbox Live with Avatars onto CD/USB for Offline install by clicking here.

I’ve been asked several times if I’m in the NXE Beta and if I leaked this, no I’m not in the beta and no I did not leak this. Someone on the Xbox-Scene forums posted saying it was available on newsgroups to download which it was.

How to install:

Put the $SystemUpdate folder in the root of a CD or USB Stick

Now with the 360 on the dashboard put the CD/USB Stick in your 360 and you should be asked to install it, if not turn it off then on again.

You cannot create an avatar until the 19th, this requires another download after you install the NXE dashboard

The Xbox 360 Fall Flash update will be available to you by 8pm PST on October 30th (11pm EST on October 30th, 3am GMT on October 31st).

While exploring the New Xbox Experience (NXE), you may come across bugs or have some suggestions. Please share those with us by going to Microsoft Connect and clicking on the Feedback link.

If you would like to post comments regarding your experiences with the New Xbox Experience, or interact with other preview participants please use the Newsgroups link on the connect site. Although we are monitoring the newsgroups, all bugs and suggestions should be filed using the Feedback link.

If you need technical assistance with the Xbox 360 Fall Flash and you're in the US or Canada and speak English; you can call #. Phone lines will be open between the hours of 8am and 6pm CST. Please do not publish or share this phone number with people that are not participating in the Preview Program

In participation with this program, you should not move your storage device (hard drive, or memory unit if you do not have a hard drive) to any other console as it will also update that console. If an unregistered console is updated with the NXE update, that console will not be able to connect to Xbox LIVE until the NXE has been officially released on November 19th.

Please remember that your participation in the Public Preview Program is subject to the Xbox LIVE Terms of Use.

We thank you for your participation and hope that you enjoy the New Xbox Experience.

See you online,

The Xbox 360 team

From that, it seems pretty clear that if the Dash is installed on another Xbox 360 not on the beta list, it just can't access Xbox Live until the 19th.

This was all caused by MajorNelson himself.

You would have thought the head of Xbox Live might know that there are countries outside the United States of America, who's time zone are not the same.

But obviously not, he posted up the "chance to beta test" the new Xbox Experience up at around 3am GMT. Now, what would most normal people living in Europe be doing at that point? Lets think about it, 3am, week day, hmmm perhaps sleeping?

Some of those Europeans had to be up early for whatever they had planned, myself having to go to University. So I was up at a respectable 7am and my RSS feed updater on my desktop showed major nelson had posted it up.

I went to the site hoping to sign up and what did I get, the stupid "Object Error" which everyone was getting, apparently based on the fact the program was full already.

So what was that, within just over 4 hours it was full? Most people in Europe didnt have a chance.

So what do we have to do? To try out the new experience we have to resort to a leaked copy, yes we cant connect to live with it. But some people love trying out new stuff and decide to take that risk. (Sadly I couldnt, due to my love for Gears of War 2). But these people who are downloading it are the fans: the fans that tell there friends to go out and buy 360's, the fans that buy tons of games for the console, the fans which are feeding money and free advertisement into Microsoft's Xbox.

And whats worse? He added two more waves into the beta program and guess what? He took it from the original flawed list. He hasnt once bothered to give anyone else a chance. What a way to thank you fans.

So lets hope when MajorNelson has got over his ego of shouting at web cams saying "HEY, IM MAJOR NELSON, I MUST SHOUT MY NAME" and accepted the fact he isnt a good replacement for Peter Moore or J Allard he might consider treating the fans with a bit more respect..

Until then, enjoy the download, 21,000 downloads and counting

So I'm considering updating on my 2nd 360 just to check out this update, but do we know for sure that the only consequence is Microsoft not letting us connect to Xbox Live until the 19th? Would they brick our consoles or ban us from Xbox Live entirely?

i have an xbox flashed with extreme firmware, will installing this update disable the firmware, so that i can't play backup games?

No, it will work fine. As you are performing a software update not firmware. The only bad thing about it is you must wait till the 19th to login to Live. This software update won't allow you to till then.

Can someone tell us how the game install works? Is there much difference? Do you still need the disk in to play?

Game install works but you must still have the cd in. If you remove the cd after launching the game even though it's installed the game will still exit. That's bad for people you may have two xboxs and want to play together on the same game but with only 1 copy of the game. Hopefully they will update that. As by inserting the game you've proven ownership, so I don't see why not. If they didn't you could try a hot swapping method. Though yes if you have hard drive space then installing the game will decrease loading times!

Could you not remove the disc drive and just take the game out?
I Know it sounds stupid but , it is possible
