NXE - New Xbox Experience

NXE - NEW XBOX EXPERIENCE

I downloaded the new xbox experience this morning for my xbox and I love it!

Not only do we have Avatars (mine below, its the closest I can get my avatar to look like me). There are also numerous updates that I love!

I can now stream Netflix movies without a computer! Not that I could do it at home because I don't have IE (Internet Explorer). I need to update my queue to include more watch it now movies.

Now I will probably need a part time job as knowing Microsoft I will have to pay to get new clothes for my avatar. I need slippers and boardshorts!

360, Jake, Avatar iPhone

360
Microsoft is surprisingly on it. I tracked my XBOX 360 this past Thursday and it had arrived at their facilities. Out of sheer boredom, because there is no surf, I tracked it again Saturday morning... "Device shipped to customer - Your console has been repaired or replaced. We are shipping it back to you." WOW that was really quick. I wonder if they just started the 360 and said, Dang, we just have to send him a new one! I am thinking of getting a 120 GB HD for my 360. There are a lot of games coming out and a lot of features that will be coming out. I currently have a 20GB and I think its time to upgrade or should I get an Apple TV? Oooohhhh!

JAKE SHIMABUKURO
So, I was bored around 4PM, Saturday and I didn't want to fall asleep, so I went to Hawaii Kai Towne Center (right next door) to get some Starbucks. It was really weird because I couldn't find parking, once I did I headed straight to Starbucks and it was so weird there were so many people there, and guess why!? Well, (if you've read the heading) Jake Shimabukuro was having a free concert!

Ok, I know this photo is small, but look between the girl's head and the guy's head. Look in the center!


AVATAR
I love the Avatar. Its a TV show in Nickelodeon, and yes its on its 3rd season and I've watched every single episode and I have purchased every single episode on iTunes. Its a cartoon, but yet it transgresses age, by talking about things that are the basis of human behavior. Don't believe me, this is an excerpt from the top iTunes review.

"One of the best shows on television, period, by pdthlem"
-Let me start off by saying that I'm 42, I have a PhD, and I love Avatar. Not because my son also loves it but because it is an incredibly well done show.



iPhone Camera!
Who says the iPhone doesn't take good photos?!

Video Announcement, E3 - 2008 - Microsoft

VIDEO ANNOUNCEMENT
All of my new videos will no longer stream from YouTube. I am a big fan of a new company called Vimeo. Previous videos on my blogs will soon be updated.

E3 - 2008
I was going to wait until I've heard from all of the big guns: Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and Sony Playstation 3 before posting a blog about E3, but this is too good to pass up!

I am really excited about the XBOX 360 for the coming year; there are TONS of new features coming to this console, which I have come to love so much. Besides an updated dashboard, new avatar system, more exclusive XBOX Live Arcade games, games that were previously exclusive to Sony Playstation 3 are now coming to XBOX 360. I had planned to purchase a new Playstation 3 for the new Final Fantasy XIII game, but with this game coming to XBOX 360, I don't think I need it (PS3) anytime soon. Another major announcement, you will be able to stream movies from Netflix directly to your XBOX 360! OMG! That is huge! I don't have Internet Explorer at home, being a Apple user of course (well non-intel base), I haven't been able to stream Netflix movies, but as soon as I get my XBOX 360 back from the manufacturer, I can stream them to my system and watch them on my HDTV (I doubt that they'll be streaming in HD, but hey, its a great deal!) You'll need a XBOX 360, a netflix account and a XBOX Live Gold Membership. My last wish is a Blu Ray disk drive, either built-in or an external one. Then the PS3, is dead. There are so many RPGs coming within the next year, I'll be busy playing video games for quite some time. I am really looking forward to: Tales of Vesperia, Fable 2, The Last Remnant, Infinite Discovery and Star Ocean!
