Sure it’s not perfect (there have been some teething problems), but it’s pretty good. As for me, I have downloaded the NXE update, and was very impressed at the speed at which it came down and installed itself. I’ve even watched the intro video twice! (sad I know).

One thing I’ve not done yet is to set up my avatar. However those smart people over at Microsoft have already published details of how you can use your avatar outside of your XBox, and have provided a handy URL to get a png version of your in-game personage. If you browse across to

http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/<Your Gamertag here>/avatar-body.png

then a lovely png image of your avatar will be displayed for you. Once I’ve set mine up I’ll add him to this post…

Update: So here I am, in avatar form….
