Microsoft has no respect for its customers.

And to think people complain about three maps costing $10. That is still better then buying an outfit for your avatar for $5.

The nice thing about those silly chargeable avatar items is that you are not required to buy them. I have no desire to spend real money on my avatar, so I wont buy anything for it. Not a big deal. If some people like that stuff, let them spend their money on it. Doesnt hurt me.

I think the games in demand is a rip off. Although I own most of those games and wouldn't drop 30 bucks on them if I didn't (they can be found cheaper elsewhere) I'm absolutely disgusted that MS would try and rob me of money I would have never spent. How dare they try and make money off of me.?And how dare they force me to use my brain for once and just outright refuse without making a federal case of it?

One of the amazing things about the Xbox LIVE experience is that it's always getting better.... blah blah blah, puppies are cute, blah blah blahGodofBigMacs

How much is Microsoft paying YOU?

after the new update, my friends list loads faster and does not freeze anymore + marketplace loads ALOT faster. microsoft owns

I definitely like the rating system... you know, another part of the new update.

Unfortunately Rybe, I don't give a crap about games on demand, Netflix, or any of those additions. If you're going to charge me a fee for that stuff, don't make it a tying contract with playing games online. Charge me strictly for that crap and let me continue playing my games. I don't watch these movies, get games on that service, or am interested in DLC. I shouldn't have to pay for a service I don't use.Vandalvideo

I couldn't have said it better myself.

lol i see nothing important in this update. nothing that improves a gamers experience.

avatar editor? ability to rate a game? u kidding me? how about give us another 100 slots to add friends.

Anyway avatars are pretty much useless.

Not worth spending money on them.

They didn't all point to the same source and the link you provided is to one of the sources I listed.

P.S. Yes it would...it would require changing the code of the original game.

P.P.S. Same site I linked to that wasn't credible.

actually they did.

1st link of 6
gamerblips daily radar...blah blah blah. click the blurb *the big linked words at the top and it leads too* that video game blog which leads too...."" but G4 reports the truth behind the friend list cap.""

2nd link of 6
PalGN

""According to a G4TV report which cites a "high-level Microsoft source,""

3rd link of 6

THAT VIDEO GAME blog yes the same that video game blog from the 1st link.

4th link of 6
Gaming rover which...cites...
''Speaking to G4 late last week, a "high-level Microsoft source""

5th link of 6
Joystiq
""Speaking to G4 late last week, a "high-level Microsoft source"" The source? shack news which cites?
"One "high-level Microsoft source" told G4TV""

6th link of 6...
thats right shacknews the same place joystiq cites, in the 5th link.


So yes they all cite the same G4TV blog post by a person i've never even heard of, one or 2 add's on and cites the link i gave at CES 2009 where microsoft admitted that xbox games were the reason our current live inherited 100 friends only friends lists. Buts its freaking microsoft they are software wwwizards im sure they could work it out so that the friends list could be larger then 200 but xbox games being able to only show 100 friends in the first place would continue to only show 100 friends.

Some of this stuff looks cool. Sure it's a bit pricey but you're not meant to buy it ALL just what suits you. Just do what YOU want to express yourself. I for one was getting bored of my avatar selection and was happy for something fresh. As for avatars being worthless, meh, give it some time and there'll probably be more uses in the future.

you realize that they did not only add an avatar store right? they completely revamped the movie watching, added the ability to give games a rating, and added several new dashboard pages.
