Man I loved the old Blades design of the dashboard. My favorite bit, personally, being the "Open Tray" button on the homepage at 4:18. Something about it is just so late 2000s and stylish. I'd love to see a console with that *super temporary* Blue version of the Xbox Guide they were using for a bit there. Around 2007/2008 I believe, since Halo 3 was still all the rage.

There was a period where syncing gamertags to your friends' consoles for stuff like local Halo or Gears co-op runs was an absolute slog and you had to sync everytime, so we ended up investing in those memory cards to store our gamertags on, which removed the need to sync our data and just allowed us to sign in instantly. Much quicker process nowadays. I recall waiting about 20 minutes once for a gamertag to sync back then.

I'll take the blades over any other Xbox UI, every time. Regular Xbox has too much personality, nothing after NXE has enough. As it happens, I only ever used the blades UI on a CRT. By the time I got my first HDTV set in 2008, NXE was already out and I was rocking the Battlestar Galactica theme. I had a memory card, used it to bring my profile with me to friends' houses, it was nominally easier than redownloading it.

It's kind of interesting how far behind the Xbox 360 felt when compared to the PlayStation 3 in 2006. The 360 had no HDMI, used DVDs for games, you couldn't watch Blu-Rays or HD-DVDs, it had slots for memory cards, and I am pretty sure they sold consoles without hard drives included. The 360 was significantly cheaper than the PS3, though.

It lasted until 2012 when it was traded in for a Slim 360, which I have to this day.

It is surprising to me that the red special edition console didn’t have the special power on and power off sound or disc open and disc close tray sounds as for many of those special edition Xbox consoles and also should be that to have the NXE dashboard should be that it should have the same logo as the blades as I think that the Metro only got the updated logo.
