NXE (xbox 360)

The NXE is a great improvement over the old "blade-style" dashboard for the Xbox 360.
It has a totally new layout with quite a lot of options added . The best thing about this update is that it let's you install games to your hard drive which reduces the load times considerably.
However you still need the disk to be inserted in order to play the game but the good thing is that it doesn't keep spinning all the time which reduces the load on the ROM, meaning that it won't heat up the 360 and it'll last much longer.
Another great addition are the fun looking avatars which you can customize to your liking with a number of different clothes, accessories and other stuff. Here are the screens:

Mirror's Edge

Mirror's Edge is one great game that'll keep you glued to your monitor with great graphics and an excellent gameplay . However it has a few drawbacks , such as , it is a very short game . An average gamer like me was able to complete the game in about 3 days. And the number of retries to be made to clear an area are really frustating. This game on my current rig can be played on maxed out settings without any stuttering whatsoever . Here are some screens :









Xbox 360 Elite

Here's my 360 elite which was bought in July 2008 . The reason for getting the elite version was due to the fact that it has the biggest capacity hdd . It looks cool in black and due to the fact that elite's have the lowest rrod rate . I'd have to say that it has a huge selection of games and almost all of them are very good . For me forza 2 would have to be the best game on the 360.
Here are the pictures of the box itself and some games on it being viewed on an HD screen :
