I’m not one to get into this type of conversation, but did you need to flash your drive for that?

Or does it work just by burning a disk and putting it in?

Well let’s see

Pros:
-you could’ve gotten it as much as 3 weeks earlier
-access to all features (ripping to HDD makes load times a breeze and my pirated games that occasionally got disc read errors from using $1 dldvd’s now get none!)

Cons:
-No online 360 gaming for a few weeks. Since I think it’s a ripoff to pay for XBL as every other gaming network service EVER as been free and I still have no good reason to pay for it. COD4 almost convinced me but LAN parties suffice. I’ll just enjoy CSS and TF2 on pc for free
-guilty conscience?

Thankyou M$ for NXE. Seriously, this is saving me serious money. Since “play from hdd” fixes all my disc read errors, I don’t have to spring for Verbatim dvd’s and can be a much more efficient, freeloading pirate. Yay!!!

Now I’m off to play games like GOW2, Fallout3, GTA4 and countless others weeks before they’re ever released!!!

Then I might just install it a day or two early. =]

You seem like a trustworthy source.

on the 19th you’ll be able to connect to LIVE.

So let me get this straight, you can’t remove it after updating through torrent?

And I want to be sure I can connect to Live after the 19th =\

NXE is sooooooo coool! <3 it!
I was lucky and i saw Major Nelson posting about Microsoft Connect and the possibility to have the preview, it was midnight here and fortunately i was in front of my pc!!! i am lucky girrrl

BUT, i think people can wait 12 days, nxe is cool but it’s not vital!I would not have died without it

I was soooo tempted when I first heard of this (I even downloaded the update to my PC) but held back after hearing that you may not be able to connect to Live. Good thing I waited with Gears coming out tomorrow!

waiting won’t be too tough considering there is so much to do in the upcoming weeks

gamers are an impatient bunch I suppose … how anyone can’t wait a few weeks is beyond me …
