So, I was downloading the the legit NXE yesterday. it was taking some ridiculous amount of time (changing between 79 and 110 minutes), so I checked online on the NZ xbox.com forums to see if everyone else is having this problem.
seems they're not, but they're having a much worser problems than I.
When they download NXE, their consoles can no longer read discs. This isn't one or two people, but 15 pages of people on this forum complaining their consoles no longer work.
thread here. When people phone Microsoft, they deny the problem having any relation to the downloading of NXE, and they offer to repair the disc drive or something for $100 odd.
No idea if this is localized to NZ, but this seems insane. NXE effectively bricking consoles and Microsoft deny it as a problem. LOLCONSPIRACY
