Anyone really unexcited about this? From what I have seen, it makes navigating slower, and does not really offer anything new (aside from the game installs).
On my 20GB Premium, it will allow me to install 1 game, big whoop. From what I see, it gives a very marginal increase in speed (10 secs GTA IV bootup time), but takes an hour to install.
Sure there is lots of hype, But I can't see why, they are just copying Sony/Apple/Nintendo..

im hyped for the disc installs because it will silence the roaring dvd drive and shave a few seconds off load times. im gonna install Virtua Fighter 5 and hopefully save time between fights..
if you want to avoid the NXE the old blades have been moved to the guide and replicate most of the dashboard features. i use both equally but i do look forward to browsing the XBLM without exiting to the dashboard..

I think it's hilarious that Microsoft announces this in July at E3 and delivers with a November release and PS3's home has been in the works for almost 2 years now with no release date in sight.

What I find more hilarious is actually the fact that Home is coming out at November just as this update is coming out. Would be even more hilarious that they came out the same week.

If only we could see list of these countries..

It seems like it will only be 11 languages - not 19 - according to a standalone blogpost from Majornelson in contrast to what he said during the liveblog.
So no new languages will be added, since the current dash already is translated in 11 languages.

oh sweet! Finally we get a release date. Oh wait! :S
"We anticipate November 19 will be a busy day to sign into Xbox Live".
Hopefully by that time, the issues what some people have on xbox live for now, will be gone. I dont want Nov. 19 to turn out as RROD day.

How big is it?
I only bought the Arcade, so only have a 256Mb card to fit it onto... (Unless it goes elsewhere..?)

When the whole netflix thing comes out, will you be able to watch the same movie with a friend if he doesnt have the netflix. Will there be a movie link .
and explain how the 8 man Team Chat is going to work.
I think it would be cool to watch a vid with one of your XbL bros.

Both people need to have netflix in order to watch the movie together. It was covered in a post a few weeks back. As for 8 way chat. I figure it will work similar to the current chat just with 8 people and the new avatar interface.
