    It means the world as you know it will be changed for ever!
    Also, if you have a Wii, your Mii will have to be made up all over again on your Xbox, but they'll have nothing to do with each other, as Nintendo and Microsoft remain different companies.

    Not for me it's not.

    Everything about this new GUI is better than the blades. I'm not overly interested in the avatars, but I'll get over them for what to me is a fantastic interface!

    Not really looking forward to this but if I can make my Wii-atar look like my Halo / Oblivion avatar, I'll be happy enough.

    This should be good. Especially the HDD install. :)

    The HD install is the main feature I'm looking forward to as well.

    I started playing Jericho this week, is display text during the loading screens that are shown like somebody is typing then in realtime but it freezes for ~1-2sec during this while waiting for the disc to spinup which is really annoying.

    The reason i want it to speed up the loading time for VF5. It's 15-20secs or something.

    It's not a major problem but seeming as though it is introducing the HDD install. You have to look forward to it. :pac:

    Xbox Experience as in Xbox XP, microsoft are not only ripping off the mii idea, they are also copying (reusing) their own names :D

    I'm actually looking forward to it, because it will be easier (at least easier on the eye) to join and create parties. And it looks nice :)
