    30 Things You May Not Know About the NXE

    The New Xbox Experience is still slowly approaching, but a number of sites are trying to make sure that you're prepared for everything it has to offer.

    CVG has a list of 30 things you may not have known about the NXE. Here's just a small sampling of what they have to offer.
    * Horizontal menus display dynamic content, such as the latest demos or movie releases, while picking the first option takes you 'deeper' into Marketplace or your Games Library to view properly indexed content.

    * It looks and animates very slick. Game and Video content is now displayed with proper game box art, movie posters or in the case of music videos, album covers.

    * In the final build some items boxes will be fully animated, so you'll be able to see five seconds of PES loop in the PES 2009 demo box, for example.

    * We like the new sound effects. They sound less aggressive than those on the current dashboard, and the "powering up" sound effect for the new Xbox Guide is brilliant.

    * The new Dashboard has extra resolution options over the old one.

    Check out the other 25 items over at CVG. Undoubtedly, most of these features will be news to you!
