Ah, I probably am looking at the grid one these days, then. I've definitely got it connected to the 'net, and updated, since the single most important exclusive game on it is digital-only (the Perfect Dark HD re-release—the version that's just the original game with better textures, 720p resolution, and a modern control scheme)
So the weird, incoherent mess of options on each screen, sized and placed seemingly at random, with ads often far more prominent than any of the stuff you might actually want to do on that screen, is actually an XBone-ism? Boo, I hoped that if I ever got around to having one of those it'd be nicer :-(
I do remember it updating & changing at some point, and that it still sucked before that. I got it after the blade menu, though. I think it had that at first, but lost it as soon as it updated after plugging it in, so I never really used it. NXE's what I probably used the first times I actually played anything on it.

Oh my god, yes, I do remember NXE. Hahahaha, wow, I'd forgotten that. How awful. I partially retract my complaints about the current menus.
