The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate.

At least you can still access the blades with the guide button (sorta). This is the quickest way to get around NXE. That in itself is sorta stupid. I think it's a big step backwards in UI design for MS.. which is a bummer 'cause the Xbox 360 was the first time they ever designed a half decent UI.

Since 6643 Daysif you want to. i'll probably ignore home 99% of the time and stick to the XMB and in-game lobby systems.

Since 7006 DaysAlso that friend list it has on the real UI is just bad. I don't care to see some stupid avatars sleeping around or anything. Good thing that the old style list is on the guide. Also damn it's hard to find anything from the marketplace now. I hope they update that mess quickly.
Oh yeah no for the new themes too. Free or no deal.

Since 7262 DaysWith all due respect, if you don't LIKE NXE that's one thing and we can all agree to disagree, but the interface isn't slower, that's fact. Menus even pop up faster and don't get bogged down by games anymore.
But then again, I thought the blades were stupid all the way to the end. Learning to navigate something that overlaps itself in like four places is not intuitive. But hey, that's kind of entering opinion territory again.
Since 7239 DaysThe interface is slower to navigate because it's just such a clusterfuck.. I'm not talking about how much time it takes your input to be responded to.. and again, optimization doesn't mandate an entirely new UI! "A thousand blades..." srsly? I must have been using a different version of the old interface. My console definitely never had anything even approaching a dozen blades.
To the uninitiated, the old way of doing things was much more intuitive. Watching my family fumble around the NXE is sort of hilarious. I'm talking about the old folks, naturally, but they're generally speaking the best test of how user friendly a UI is.
Never mind that all of the classic themes are basically useless now, since the guide covers almost every bit of them up, almost every bit of the time.
Since 6643 DaysNXE however is faster as a whole, the guide is faster, navigation is easier, and everything is right there at the end of 2 button presses. plus it looks way sleaker. avatards suck, but then i've pretty much ignored them since the initial 5 minutes they held my attention.
its still no XMB imo in terms of navigation and style (having demo's, trailers, photo's and music in list form without having to go through seperate menus works the best so far imo.
Since 7262 DaysI just don't get how you find it so confusing. Blades you flicked through sideways, this goes up/down instead and have fewer categories. Different categories rarely lead to the same place, which was something MS redecorated with the old blades system like three times because it was totally retarded to split up things just to keep the blades intact. Video marketplace and marketplace -> videos on two different blades, really? That's intuitive? I guess if all roads lead to rome and you wanna go to rome then sure.
But props to your parents if they instantly knew where to go with the blades.
Are you sure it isn't just because you're unfamiliar with it? But then it's been out for ages so I don't see why you wouldn't be.
Ah well, I've got tombs to raid.
Since 7239 DaysBut I think that sort of supports what I'm saying (to an extent). The blades (like XMB) are pretty straight forward. With the exception of "My Xbox" (the only tab that should exist) every portion of the NXE UI is cluttered with these "what's new" sort of showcases. They're ugly and useless. Every single tab is dressed up in the same sort of general nonsense.
If I wanted to get to my movie collection from the blades I just pressed right until I arrived at the aptly titled media blade, and I was basically there. Now I have to navigate to "My Xbox", then to the video library, and then to the folder or file. It seems to me that the extra steps are here in NXE, and not the other way around.
And yes, I know.. the blades are on the guide menu now. It's basically the only sane way to use the NXE. The menus that sit beneath it.. well.. suck. And I wish I could hide my Mii. I'm using a default avatar because I can't be assed to screw around with something I find so repulsive. The fact that everything is there in just a few button presses is only because we can access what is essentially the old UI at the press of a button.
The update wasn't completely without its perks. I do like portions of it. I'll let you love it all you want, I just wanted to be clear on what I don't like. Slow wasn't meant as a comment in terms of system performance.
