NXE was peak. I know we all loved blades, but there’s no room for expansion there.

NXE ❤️
HeyKid_HelpComputer on
When NXE was announced I was super excited, as I found blades to be ugly back in 2007/2008 when I was like 18/19
Now? I long for Blades. It was by and far the best UI/UX for the Xbox 360.
Super fast, nicely organized.

The problem with the old ones where they were design for only a dozen or so digital games and one disc based game. As soon as people’s libraries started going beyond 100+ games they became difficult to manage. I know people love them, but they just aren’t practical today.

Hope Helix has its own new dashboard menu screen , did not have that new system feel when I bought Xbox Series X just same Xbox one menu .

Blades are great but honestly the second 360
Eras under appreciated

I had an Blades Xbox 360, but I barely remember it. I was too young.
I remember getting the NXE update though and I loved it!

Top left is my favourite, but top right hits me with nostalgia the most. That was the dashboard during my best years on xbox, getting home from school and jumping straight on COD with the boys.

NXE was charming. Gaming doesn’t feel as charming anymore.

The blades
SEspider on
NXE In large part due to having designed them for Disruptive Publishers before DP went all weird.
I ended up taking my unused concepts and created MySpace Flash pages with them. Granted, this sample (pictured) is a trash attempt at using 3D elements. But you get the idea.
Blades is a serious nostalgia hit. But NXE was my favorite.. It felt more personal scrolling by your friends Avatars.

Blades is nostalgic from my childhood, but NXE was my teen years and that was the most fun gaming era ever.

The blades are nostalgic, but the prior iteration of the latest UI was the most useful (the big difference being the lack of GP adds below the main Paige and allowing far more groups pinned to the home page). The groups are so useful for managing a large digital library. I do hope the next unified UI they are talking about allows for far more groups and group sizes, more akin to Steam.

I didn’t have a 360 during the blades era, so NXE.

NXE no doubt

For me, I started on blades but spend a majority of my gaming years on the 360 tiles. Both hold an incredibly tender spot in my heart but the 360 take the nostalgia cake

NXE was the best. Blades UI was ok for its time, and nostalgic/comfy for me, but objectively its mid.

God I miss when avatars really mattered and you can see your friends profiles. They even made arcades games where you play as your avatar or watching a movie together in the Netflix app.

Blades was the most optimized. You could do everything easily. NXE was the most fun, with avatars and the 3d feel

NXE. After it settled it was great.

Whatever the second one is called, because is the one I grew up with.
Blades is cool but I never got to experience it so I’m not as attached to it as most people.
