Zune= awesome....last fm= awesome....facebook=awesome

The features xbl recently add are great! I streamed 2 movies from Zune over the weekend in "1080P" they say lol...still the picture was great and no waiting to download what a great feature and can't wait for more movies to be added!

Last FM was a nice addition to stumble upon...never heard of this before ( I know u can do this on the PC now ) I was playin with Last FM making my own radio stations for a long time another great feature!

Facebook is really nicely intregarated ( I don't have a account but my wife does )....so I checked it out and it's also well done if I was gaming and wanted to see what's up with friends is very easy

the Zune is the best feature to me though for the movie streaming....awesome

PSN eat ur heart out!

It'd be nice if those features could be used while gaming tho, so really they have no purpose unless I'm on the NXE only. Frankly it's "meh" to me, but if you're having fun with it, don't let that get to you. yoshi_64

My thoughts exactly. I haven't really dedicated much time to exploring the features though. Just seems somewhat frivolous to me.

Yeah XBL > PSN

try it out u have nothing to lose and everything to gain

All I wanted was Last.fm, and I'm in Canada so I can't get it I don't think.

The european version (dutch to be exact) of Zune is gimped as usual. Facbook is the same I think. LastFM is not available. killerfist

oh that sucks

yeah the US version is sweet

Glad you enjoy the new features!

The Last.fm stuff is neat for certain things. Facebook is, well, Facebook. I was disappointed in the Zune movie stuff. Way too expensive. I already pay for XBL Gold. Give me a discount.musicalmac

a discount would be nice but $4 bucks for a 1080P rental is not too bad and it's instant which I love

No BBC iPlayer? How strange. PSN just got owned. Floppy_Jim

don't know what that is

Sounds more like you're trying to convince yourself that those features are awesome.

why would I try to convince myself? I use it and enjoy it and sharing it with ppl who haven't ventured in to those new features

[QUOTE="Floppy_Jim"]No BBC iPlayer? How strange. PSN just got owned. chikenfriedrice

That's because Xbox Live doesn't have it.

*Well played, Jim*

I don't know you just seem overly enthusiastic over features that don't bring anything new to the table, in fact Facebook is extremely gimped on the 360 .... also you can't listen to Last FM while in game ...

I'm just having a hard time seeing why these features are so awesome.

facebook on the xbox 360 awesome?

With all due respect - I also own an xbox 360 - but how stupid is it to write things on facebook with a joypad? and I mean, you got it on your pc as well, I don't see the use of it on the console, honestly, but anyway..

Who cares if you can't listen to last FM while playing games...I use my 360 as a media center and can use Last FM that way....I don't even have a facebook page but I used my wifes to check it out and if u were on XBL and wanted to check on a friend or update ur status and look at pics it works very well....and streaming 1080P new release movies is also great idk how it can be seen any other way but a nice addition

italygamer

maybe some ppl have the keyboard attachment...I don't use facebook but if I did I would use the XBL Facebook if I was on XBL instead of walking in to the otherroom to use my PC

ChickenFried if these features are this awesome they should not require this level of defense on your part.BiggGaming

well when ppl attack it's natural to defend

yeah now that i live in canada these features got significantly gimped. not like it matters, theyre garbage features anyway

come on b, all those features cool and all but they pointless cuz if i cant do it while playin a game... chances r its irrelevant. thats my opinion

Man I'm hardly on the dashboard now to even take a look at those features. I used to spend a lot of time on the dashboards and in the Marketplace. Now it's just straight to whatever game I'm playing. I haven't even checked out what new XBLA games are out since MvC2 was released. I think I need to take a day and just see what's up and check this stuff out.waynehead895

Check out the indie games, too. Most notably, BEAT HAZARD. Hope you're not photosensitive... :?

I can just tune to Christmas tunes on Last.fm, right?

1080p streaming here in the UK is awesome. Played the 4-minute sneak peek of the James Cameron film Avatar, and the graphics looked amazing.
