Proto:Xbox 360/NXE

This is a sub-page of Proto:Xbox 360.

This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

Fun fact: the rings around the Xbox logo seen throughout these screenshots are actually displaying the console's serial, which Microsoft used to sneakily track down and ban people who leaked images of the dashboard before its release. (That's not very nice...)
