I can't wait for the update. Supposedly you will be able to have 8-way private chat which will solve lots of problems. Also you get to make your own little avatar and he sleeps when you're offline. The little things are always the best haha.

I've had quite a few "Cannot retrieve information from xbox live" errors when trying to access some stuff. Looks pretty cool though avatars are a nice touch I think. I can see the 8-way chat meaning people talk less with other people in their game however which could be a downside.

Oh man that's hard times! I would go crazy..

Figures I just paid another month on Blockbuster yesterday.

I am going to look into cancelling that and signing up for netflix. I can cancel my starz subscription on cable now as well. Sweet!

i cant wait to try it out. still at work.. i have been reading a lot of mixed impressions from it. but i think its mostly because people complain just to complain. and people fear change. i do not fear change.

I am just wondering how this is going to affect co-op with Left4Dead. We already know Gears2 Matchmaking sucks already so I can't wait to see this clusterfuck.

However I am excited for the new look. I hate the console as it was.

I am liking the new console. I spent last night streaming "Team America World Police" from Netflix & creating my avatar.

The navigation takes some getting used to however. I am not crazy about their live streaming selection though. Hope this is something they improve.

i like the new interface. it will take some getting used to on finding where shit is now though. like it took my like 10 min to find how to change the theme. im glad i can finally get rid of the 0 gamerscore games off my gamertag. the avatars of OK i just wish there were more choices of customizing them. they will probably make us pay for any more option :(. i did have it freeze on my twice, but it might have been just real bad lag, my friend said it happened to him but he waited like 30 sec and it came back. I gave up after 10 secs of non response and turned it off

It froze on me twice last night and I had to reboot the console.

I did not know you could remove 0 GS games, that is nice to know.

One thing I would like to see, and I have yet to check on this is better organization of the XBLA Games & downloadable content. I do believe they were going to charge for better outfits as they already do for themes. I got a free GOW2 theme for going to midnight launch. I really dig the nightlife one. I am big on city life and street scenes like that so it was hard to resist the urge not to use it.
