And whats worse is after you have started the download, and then hit continue, it gives that waiting screen again, rather than just list what it did before. Its so much slower than the old interface for marketplace, its majorly annoying. NXE sucks when you want to find a new video, Download, etc.

I hope so. LMAO what are you using right now...a web browser :P what ever happened to the 2 updates a year from M$? Did they once again lie to the their consumers just like they lied about their first party games always being priced at $50 when the 360 was launched. This NXE was supposed to be better than the xmb, wtf now after 8 months later they are just now talking about fixing all the problems it had at (re)launch. This company has gotten away with everything but murder this generation and I just can't figure out why people buy into it. Enkeixpress said: They also mentioned “other cool features”…

I don't think anyone will be mindfucked saying "OMG HOW IS THAT STUFF JUST FLOATING THERE WITH NO FLOOR HOLDING IT UP!!!" At least give us an option to change the color of it, "boring as hell grey" doesn't do it for me.

At the moment it's a bit like the European PlayStation Store, with everything over-categorised; for some reason the US one is far better designed. Anyway, I think you'll see less of an emphasis on games in the redesign. When you turn it on the first thing you'll see is the likes of Facebook, Last.fm and movie rentals, games simply made less prevalent in the layout.

New stuff is in the new stuff folders, and everything else can be found via the browse lists. The only thing it's really missing is a search function and perhaps a "sort by release date" option for the browse windows. It may be a different story for the movie section... but I don't use that so I wouldn't know. I’ve never had a problem with it.

Or I could if the network response times were a bit better. There are certainly a lot of things they could do to improve it and make it easier to find stuff, but I don't think there's anything wrong with the underlying idea.

After the initial whizz bang of NXE and doesn't it look great, getting down to the practicalities of using it day by day is a nightmare. Slow and overly complex design. Loads of great features but I end up using the mini-guide for most things as the main interface is a maze of loops, multiple routes and adverts. Needs a major redesign.
