My Review of the new XboxLive Media Experience

The much bally-hooed Xbox Live video, music, games, and social experience was supposed to go live today.  I have to admit, I woke up at 5am to try it out, but it wasn't available.  I rushed home early this afternoon--same again.  Then around 9.15pm tonight, it let me download it.

The new interface looks COOL, the video on the xbox.com website looks cool (combination of gesture and voice), but they apparently did not plan for the traffic accordingly.

I received error message after error message with recommendations to reset my broadband connection, check some xbox connection website for troubleshooting, etc, until I finally got the notice that they are having a service problem.

Will try again soon--but I have to say, this would be SOOOO much better as a #SecondScreen experience...
