Today Microsoft launches a big update to its Xbox 360 System Software. It’s simply called New Xbox Experience (NXE), and I’ve seen first-hand (Viddler jwaldrip danced when it was released) how excited gamers are about this!

Some of the “wow” features in this release are fully customizable Avatars for use in some current and upcoming games on Xbox Live, a completely redesigned GUI, access to the Xbox Live Marketplace on a computer via Xbox.com with the ability to queue downloads to the Xbox, the ability to stream Netflix movies on your Xbox 360, and new menu sound effects. That last one is pretty exciting.

For anyone trying to figure out how to get the update, here’s a quick video where Larry Hryb (majornelson — Director of Programming for Xbox LIVE) explains how.

This will be an exciting software release for all you gamers (Viddler gamers group) out there. Be sure to upload or record a video sharing your thoughts about the new software.

Major Nelson also has a great post on his blog named Top 10 things to do when you get the New Xbox Experience.
