Depends on how much pipe the new guide sucks. If its as much as your mother, I'm sure I'll be complaining.

If it aint broke, dont fix it. NXE is for the casuals it seems.

What is Home for then, I wonder.

for the casuals, and for an online portal.

With all the talk about the NXE, and it coming out in a little over a month, it got me thinking about the current guide and the changes it's gone through. Since the 360's release, the guide has had several changed for the better, but has still pretty much kept the same aesthetics. NXE is going to be drastically different, an other than seeing some pictures of the new interface, I am not sure if it is going to be entirely better. I'm sure all the new features it sports will be nice, but a part of me is going to miss the current guide. Anyone else going to miss the current guide at least a little bit?

You get a mini-version of the current dashboard whenever you press the Guide button in NXE.

Has it been shown exactly how similar the blades will be to the guide now? I dunno, there is just something about the guide now that I don't want to see replaced, but I'll just have to wait and see when the NXE comes out.

First image I found, gives a good idea. I think it's going to work well. I like the blade interface and I'm happy to see they're keeping it around in a good way. I'm optimistic about the new dashboard, it's going to take some getting used to but if it's fast I think it'll be better.

Apparently they've made it all server side so if/when they make something new (like picture and movie sharing) they can just plop it online and everyone will see the new app, no new dashboard download necessary. They said at TGS that they probably won't be following the Spring/Fall update schedule any more.

And here you thought we'd escaped TGS without this rumorang whizzing by again. Oh no, we most certainly did not (duck!). "We're actively looking into a [Metal Gear Solid 4] release for the Xbox 360," a Konami rep told Japanese investment research firm Morningstar for a TGS report published today (in Japanese). Feel free to take that as "no duh" or a renewed glimmer of hope -- Morningstar's report does not include further evidence that Konami is any closer to bringing a MGS4 port to Xbox 360 than when the rumor first appeared ... two years ago!
