NXE Service Turns Compulsory
Any game disc that features the NXE installer will not play unless users accept the update command; whereby the update will run if users still have the blade dashboard system in place.
The first two games that will have the update installers loaded onto their discs are Tom Clancy: H.A.W.X and MLB: 2K9, with other titles expected to follow suit.
Microsoft’s plan is to ensure that every 360 owner does away with its old dashboard interface and moves onto NXE; the platform holder is no longer applying any updates or security measures for the blades service.
