As you all know the 360 gets a system upgrade every sping and every fall. These updates add new features to Xbox Live, the most significant of which, so far, has been the addition of the Xbox Live Vision Camera. Although these updates are far from bad (except maybe for the select few who supposedly had their systems ruined because of them), there are other things that are needed.

The things I would like added are:

  • An option to open the tray while there is a disc in it, instead of just playing the disk. Better for people sitting far away.
  • The ability to have a private chat with more than just two people, maybe 5 or 10?
  • Having the option to assign a different picture from your computer, disc, portable device etc. to each individual blade on the dashboard.
  • Full features of the Video Marketplace for Canadians, and Europeans (if they don't have it...not sure)
  • Being able to download multiple files from the Marketplace at the same time, with or without reduced download speed.
  • A 1440 x 900 screen resolution for people using monitors. Also the other one which I forget, I think it's 1660 or something like that.
  • Option to convert 16:10 image to 16:9 by adding black bars if monitor already doesn't support that. This is mainly so the image isn't stretched vertically, turing circles into ovals.
  • Adding the compatibility with the device that allows you to use a mouse and keyboard (assuming it's released soon)
  • A picture in picture option whereas you can go back to the main dashboard while watching a movie or video, but have it playing in a window where the advertisments would usually be.
  • Being able to set up a custom playlist of music from the music being stored on your harddrive.

I'm sure I will think of more, but those are the ones that first came to mind. Some of them will be more important to others, since we all have different needs. I, for one, use a monitor, so that's why I want a 1440 x 900 res.

So I'm wondering, what would you like in the next few updates?

I would like to see what game is in my tray without having to start it up, like what we saw in the early builds of the dashboard.

This isn't officially a screenshot of an early build, but you get the idea. I'll try to find something more legit.

Woa, that's weird, it kind of looks like what the next update could bring, I mean album pictures, and the game name. That does look legit, but could be photoshop. Either way that would be cool.

I want an option to run everything in letterbox on a 4:3 display. I have a Dell 2000FP, and it doesn't allow you to manually shrink the screen, and choosing the widescreen option in display properties simply stretches the image. Also, I want trial arcade games not to show up on your gamerscore.

It's fake. You can tell because the font looks different on the tray than it does on the menu. Also it's not positioned exactly center and the edges look a bit pixelated.

P.S. Basically what you said for the next update I would love :)

Me too. I would like to stream Quicktime since mot of my video projects are rendered as such, but since it's a competing format, I know that's never going to come. :(

Sending video clips in messages. The one I want more then anything: Screenshots. Maybe if you press RT, LT, RB, LB all at the same time and it takes a screenshot and saves it to your HDD. Then you would be able to send it to friends in a message.

Based only on your signature, you're an idiot. We pay for live for a reason, because it actually works. And more on your subject, i would also like to be able to eject the tray when there is a disk in it, so that i dont have to go up and push the button...furthering my statement about you before..

Stop being so horrible, jeez. The last 5 posts of yours have all been insultive in some way. And he means completly change it not just the background or the trim. He's a graphic designer as in he uses graphics. Not just changes the trim or adds one background to blades. He also meant like choose a picture from your HDD and set it to your gamerpic. And don't call people noobs, when you're a level 4 with 136 posts, noob.

Me too. I would like to stream Quicktime since mot of my video projects are rendered as such, but since it's a competing format, I know that's never going to come. :(

This can already be done using TVersity on a windows XP machine. www.tversity.com. You will need windows media player 11 installed for the latest codecs as well as FFDshow and XVID codec. apart from quicktime, you can also stream internet audio, internet video, mpg, avi, divx, vob (dvd files) etc. It also allows remote access to your media through the internet from your psp or mobile wap enabled phone, if you enable that feature.

The option to be able to start up either your game or the disc you have in the HD-DVD drive.  It always starts the game up first.

The option to turn off the pop-ups when a friend signs into XBL while you are watching a movie w/o having to sign out of live.

Digital Theater Surround  (I heard it's coming though).

These are the things I want them to fix:

- Option to turn off auto play when inserting a game

- Turn off friends notifications (for now it's all or nothing)

- Better battery info and charging for wireless controllers (the ps3 has battery % and minutes left, why not for 360? And the plug and charge cable always stops charging after 2 minutes if I want to charge with xbox turned off, why? I have to let it on if I want a full charge)

- Info about inserted disc like an animation when lighting up play game (anyone has a psp? well exactly like that when you point up UMD with an animation and music; I mean even the nintendo ds can tell what game is there without starting it)

- Opening the tray wirelessly (you point up the eject sign and press A... would be so simple). Sound lazy but it's a simple feature I would use

It's not perfect but the 360 is clearly the best console right now

ownage approved. Web browser would be fun, but kinda pointless. Id like to see the Zune Marketplace be available through XBL. Maybe a way to search the dash while in a video chat? The one thing i really want is just an option to view upcoming games for the 360... like how it says what movies will be coming.

dude, did u read, www.tversity.com will allow you to stream avi and many other formats to the 360..

These are the things I want them to fix:

- Option to turn off auto play when inserting a game

- Turn off friends notifications (for now it's all or nothing)

- Better battery info and charging for wireless controllers (the ps3 has battery % and minutes left, why not for 360? And the plug and charge cable always stops charging after 2 minutes if I want to charge with xbox turned off, why? I have to let it on if I want a full charge)

MrQuaker
your play and charge is obviously playing up coz mine will continue to charge for anywhere up to 4 hours if the battery is completly dead and I switch off the 360.

Get rid of the 15-second cap on voice messages! It's so pointless.. am I the only one that always feels rushed when sending out a voice message? More importantly on a technical stand point, 1680 x 1050 support is needed for widescreen LCD monitors. Private chat with a group of friends, not just one person. Video Marketplace for Canadians gosh darnit! (and a Gamerscore contest, I was really annoyed to find that it was U.S. only, although it's more understandable that it was Old Spice's call... not Microsofts)

I tried TVersity and it didn't work. I would rather have direct support for .avi from the 360 itself.

works really well, better than media centre in my opinion.. if you want help with the set up at any stage, if your willing to attempt it again, I'll be more then willing to talk you thru it..
