found out why some of us got it early. If you signed up for major nelson's preview program they just gave it out to everyone who signed up.

I'm gonna saw me up some of that sex locust.

got it as well. It is MUCH better than the old dashboard. The menus seem to be a lot smoother when your going through them, it felt like the old dashboard blades moved slowly. I really like how it shows your friends all lined up with there avatars, I thought it would be stupid but really like it :)

like most of you know already, I've had it for awhile (8th to be exact) and now I'm glad that the rest of you guys can witness the greatness of it like I can. It's WAY smoother and slicker than the previous dashboard, makes everything present nicer. Oh and if you were planning on installing GoW2 on your harddrive, it's a hefty 6.7 GB. Now if you have the X360 Elite and have the 120GB hard drive then your fine, but if your like me and have the 20GB (really only 13GB when you first fire up the 360) then your left with anything from 2-5GB's left. With all my music and videos and such I had, it left me with 1.5 GB :[. I just had to delete things and now I have like 4 but still. I heard Lost Oddosey (sp?) was a whopping 23GB. That's insane.
But like I was saying, I'm glad you guys can now witness the NXE for all it's greatness.

(P.S. I just ordered Left 4 Dead off of gamestop.com with overnight shipping so it should be here Tuesday or Wednesday. Hope to play CO-OP with some gearheads :])

- that doesnt make sense (none / 0)
  
  a DVD can't hold that much information. 6.7gb makes sense.

  - your right (none / 0)
    
    but Lost Odossey has 4 disc so I'm guessing 6GB on three of the discs and 5 on the 4th. I'm sure during the installation process it prompts "Please insert disc 3 of Lost Odossey" or something of that matter.

- You should do what I do Elite (none / 0)
  
  and stream your media from your pc to your 360 so that it doesn't use any hard drive space.

        and we just put them on clearance for $100, so if you have a Target around you should check it out.
        
        On a related note, the wireless racing wheel is down to $80.

  - It really depends on how much... (none / 0)
    
    media was on the DVD. Gears 2 and Fable 2 took about roughly seven minutes each.

yeah (none / 0)

It took me about 8 1/2 minutes to install Gears 2. so like Blank said, it really differs.
