Xbox NXE Update Causing Problems

NXE worked fine for me, overall pretty good despite a few niggles. haven't tried out hard disk installs yet though.
i do think that it makes sense to have to still have the disk in when you play an installed game, i know that it is different to a PC as you aren't sitting within arm's reach of the console at all times and have to actually walk over to it to swap out media but the fewer chances people have to easily circumvent copy-protection and commit acts of piracy, the less reason developers and manufacturers have to shaft normal consumers with ill-conceived DRM and over inflated prices. I'd rather have to prove i have a disc than not be able to swap and borrow games because they have to be authorised on a per-console basis or some such other nonsense.

Xbox Live worked fine prior to NXE - now, I can't login anymore, get a prompt to download an update from XBL - when I hit yes, it just says could not download update, check network settings etc... Now I have NO XBL cos I can't login.
NXE was a monumental failure for me, online gaming was a reason why I got the 360 in the first place, now I can't do that now. MS you suck, the 360 sucks. I'm putting mine up for sale, should have got a PS3 in the first place...ah well live and learn.

I personally believe that this update has brought XBL into a whole new dimension, the features are awesome and unrivalled, plus navigation is seamless. For me, the only letdown is those Avatars, although cute, they're not really to anyone's taste and they really feel like a "Mii" rip off. The HDD installs make all the difference as well, cuts the loading times right down not to mention that the "take off" noise impression has now vanished. Microsoft always sucked, NXE rocks, 360 rocks, I am keeping mine!

@nazidk12 I think that is a total overreaction mate. Would you immediately flog your car the first time it breaks down? Or sell your house when the boiler goes pop?

Phone the MS free-phone no & get them to sort it
