Despite requiring the disc in the drive for authentication the difference it makes in noise (for those quieter games) and speed (mid level loads...) it's a feature I now don't want to live without :p As for the dash - pretty responsive but I'm still getting used to the layout. I love the party system though... Definitely agreeing on your first 2 plus points.

I have a completely different view of the Avatars to you for example. The whole thing is slow at the moment due to the NXE, it's the same effect Halo 3 had when LIVE died because everyone went on... when there is so much action you're never going to get a flawless performance. Another thing is you say it's mainly advertising, but it's only advertising for games you may be interested in anyway, it's not advertising outside of stuff gaming related, so I've never understood the criticism of it. I've just posted a rather in-depth article of my views on it over at my site about 30 minutes ago and thought I'd do the rounds to see what other people said.
