NXE Download Launch Time?

[Ninja Scroll]

Does anyone know what time the NEW XBOX EXPERIANCE will launch. Like is it Eastern Time (my time) or Pacific? And will it be Midnight for either of those times?

I need to know for getting up for work in the morning purposes. I intend to play GearsOfWar2 into Midnight ET, but if it's Pacific I will just go to bed and just get up early in the morning before work.

I MUST CREATE MY AVATAR ASAP!! I FEEL LIKE A CRACK BABY RIGHT ABOUT NOW FEENIN FOR MY AVATAR DRUGS DOWNLOAD!

Hopefully it's 12 est, but I would place bets on PST, since ms is in washington state. XD Hell if I know, did you check xbox.com?

2am Pacific Standard Time is when most of the dashboard updates get released.

Aw damn... What do you mean 'most' of the dashboard updates?

Do you mean, most as in, there are more than one download files that I need to download.

Or do you mean, that's when the dashboard updates regularly released?

Good point about MS located in Washington state. And that's probably true, because when a hot XBLA game is due for release on those Wednesdays I stay up till 12am ET with no game to be seen in marketplace.
Yet I wake up in the morning and it's there. DAMN U MS FOR BEING LOCATED ON THE WESTSIDE!!! It's not fair to us East Coast peeps who are ahead of the times.

Yeah, its when most of them are released. And MajorNelson just posted on his blog, "We'll START deploying at 0200 PT. Not everyone will get it right away though." I think what he means by not everyone is getting it right away, is I guess different time zones will receive it at different times so everyone isn't downloading it at the same time.

Lol it is true :P the figure head, well, ex figure head of microsoft worked in washington. So since he worked there I would assume that is the 'base' of operations. But eh I don't know nothing bout that.

That's a great idea, good on you MS for thinking things through unlike the horrible H3 beta last year.

East Coast will start to see the update starting at 5 AM EST. So when you get up out of bed int he morning, it should be there for ya. Unless you are a real early riser. I figure it should be waiting for me when I take my daughter to school at 7:30 AM.

i logged on then and it says 2 days to go still. wtf?

any guesses on how big this update will be? in terms of mb.

my guess is 200-400mb

Somewhere between 128 - 512 mb's seeing as that's the memory card ms was offering.

Haha, yeah I noticed that too, it still says 2 days to go.

As for the size here is what Microsoft said: "The New Xbox Experience will require 128MB of free space. A hard drive is recommended for the optimal experience, to take advantage of some new features, and to be able to enjoy the great movies, TV shows and games available on Xbox LIVE."

Well it's 2:20am ET and im up on a solo campaign about to beat Gears2 on Hardcore so I can unlock Insane Difficulty. I'm going to bed in a min, forget this. It will be there when I wake up. Which I will set my clock an hour earlier! I'm a slow ass morning person when it's time to get up for anything, ... well, just for work for the most part. ... But I know it won't be no trouble getting up for this! It better own!

edit: btw, Xbox.com has been down for the last couple hours, ... hmmm, wonder why. =D

[Variation-XBA]

Supposed to be 2am PST/5am EST, but that's if everything goes on track and smooth...so who knows honestly.

[Ainokeatoo-XBA]

Well you guys are up late, it's getting hard for me to stay up, but eh, Gunz is keeping me busy and so is gow1

Well I just got up at 7:35am. Beat Gears2 about 3am ET! Then went to sleep. Downloading update as I speak.

Dude, is that what you look like? Your dude looks like a doofus geek nerd all rolled into 1!

[LINKINPARK8591]

no not exactly i'm not really done with it i keep making changes as i go. he'll look more like me in the next week. just kind of put him together Yeah when i looked at it i said to myself that doesn't look to much like me.

It's all good homie. Well I just finished my dude and I can assure you I look just like this Mii,..err.. Avatar! My only concern, complaint, whatever you want to call it- is the limited create the character options.

I can see Nike, Reebok, Adidas, and other clothing companies licking there chops for making money off these avatars. I will surely be a sucker for Nike/Air Jordan apparel. Right now my dude is sporting fake Timberland boots. I need some fresh name branded Jordans on his feet, and a Nike Swoosh T-Shirt to go with it!
Aight, got my dude made, time to shower and head to work now!
