NXE trailer shows off Primetime [update]

by Richard Mitchell { Nov 13th 2008 at 11:00AM }

Update: Apparently, as has been pointed out by numerous comments, this trailer is brain-staggeringly old (apart from the bit at the end that says the NXE is coming November 19). The editor responsible for posting this has been sacked and unceremoniously rehired.

Microsoft has released a trailer for the New Xbox Experience, showing off the new interface and some of its features (all set to a zippy soundtrack, of course). For anyone that's been following the NXE though, it's mostly old hat. That is except for the brief glimpse of Primetime, the nifty live gameshow concept that was originally supposed to launch with the NXE but was then unfortunately delayed until early 2009. Other than that, the video pretty much screams, "Hey look! We have Avatars! We're approachable too!" We'll just have to wait and see if the message lands with the casual audience Microsoft hopes to woo.

The NXE, incidentally, lands next Wednesday.

Is it me or, hasn't this been out since they first announced the NXE? They released it on Xbox Live Marketplace, except it had a guy talking over it going "Imagine your favourite entertainment experiences, delevered to your Xbox 360..."?

If they've rereleased it I'm surprised they haven't updated it to include the changes since they first made it... i.e. colour :P

This isn't a new trailer. This trailer's been out for months. The people at gametrailers are pretty slow and stupid.

All these NXE trailers showing off primetime, photosharing, netflix HD streaming, avatars, etc.. suprisingly enough peeked my families interest enough to buy a 360 (mother and brother anyways).

I think it's pretty cool what microsoft is doing for the community. All i did with the original xbox was play what seemed to be hardcore games. Now at college i can play Uno with the family, webcam without a computer, voice chat without a phone.. photosharing and all the features NXE carries.

I know all the features have been available in some way before, as in we have telephones for how many years now? I just think it's cool to see everything coming together.

While i sold my PS3 for college and my Wii gets little use, i believe those systems are also doing the same thing, just to a lesser extent. So props to them. But my love and support goes to the micro.
