Xbox Live Update

The new update puts Zune, Facebook, Last.FM and Twitter at your fingertips.

Will you be using these new features?
What would you like to see added in the future?

For me, I like the facebook side and would like to see some of the 'american' features added so us Canadians can use them like last.fm and the movie renting/watching one. (netflix)

The avatar addition and changes was kinda neat but overall useless for what I use the xbox for. Leave that for the kids and their wii/ mii (j/k)

Anyone use msn while gaming? Xbox has that `chat pad' thingy that plugs into your controller.

i myself am exited for the facebook portion of the update as well as the Last.FM deal. uploading screenshots and vids will be nice to do for facebook and i would love to listen and discover new music through Last.FM. Twitter is kinda stupid i think (R.U. is a much better source for posting thoughts lol). I'm not all that sure what the Zune portion will do, I haven't heard much about what it actually does. Does anyone know? Do I need a Zune to use this feature?

Re: Xbox Live Update

I can't see myself using any of that when I can just use my PC. I use Xbox to play games.

Btw am I in the minority about Twitter? I think it's one of the lamest things I've ever heard of. I get that people like it but I can't help but roll my eyes when I hear people talking about it.

i see your point about using your PC to access that stuff rather than on your xbox. and i'm with you on the Twitter thing, its very lame. its about as lame as that Twilight Saga crap.

Re: Xbox Live Update

I would assume the zune stuff was similar to itunes and would probably require a portable mp3 player.

I think twitter is horribly lame. I do think it would be useful for businesses. Example it would be a good way for me to post site updates. But for personal use
