Default NXE: New Xbox Experience (Leaked!)

The install files for the NXE have been leaked onto the internet and it is now available for all to try out. Now just to let you all know, YOU CAN NOT CONNECT ONLINE WITH IT TILL NOVEMBER 19th, it will not allow you. So if you plan to game online, do not use this. Also there is no guarantee that Microsoft will not ban your console or get angry at you, so USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I have the NXE installed and it works fine and looks great. Some of the features still have to be downloaded after the Nov 19th release date as this is just a preview.
If you can live for 2 and a half weeks without using LIVE its definatly worth it. It's just a 7meg download and installs in less than 30 seconds. This new update to the Xbox 360 allows us to have our games installed directly onto the hard drive so loading times will be shorter than before when using just the DVD drive. Also, it pays to note that you can not use this update unless you have at least a 512mb memcard on your Xbox.

There are two way's you can install it, download the NXE Preview RAR, extract the $SystemUpdate folder to your Flash drive or burn in to a data cd. Put it into your Xbox and turn it on. If it does not automatically update, turn your Xbox off and back on again with the disk or Flash drive still in the Xbox.

Forum download link is here: http://digiex.net/homebrew/594-xbox-...-download.html

It's definitely worth it?

Apart from a different interface, (and I use my 360 to play games and not fiddle with the interface) what does it add to make if definitely worth getting it today and not wait till it's officially released in less than 3 weeks?

Im not fussed. You still need the game in the drive to play, so other then a few micro seconds here and there in load times, I cant see the point. I use my load times to take another swig of my bourbon and coke anyway haha.
