what does this update give?

This first one, not alot tbh. But as XBL is intergrating with Facebook (or sommet like that) future updates will involve sommet to do with that.

It's going to be constant "updates" on there..

Ryan is now playing Forza 2 on his xbox

Ryan just got fired because his boss can see he is playing on Xbox Live whilst "Working from home"

So So So true.... I never realised that if you sign into MSN on your xbox, it tells all your other MSN contacts what game your playing...not good if you have work mates on MSN and youve pulled a sickie to hit COD 4 all day as I did one time (theoretically of course)!

First impressions...... Good so far!

Only got to play with it for a while last night, but navigating the dash is much faster.

Also, the way your achievements are laid out are much better and easier to view.

I like the new Avatar Marketplace, but I'm f**ked if I'm paying £5 to dress mine up as a pirate!

 

[valver lad]

Yep, as above ^^ but i bought myself a giant swob lol

 

[The Ironist]

I also got on this.

Achievements is main thing for me as I have always hated having to click on each one in game. I like the new res overide, like on PS3 so you can make sure your getting best results from tv (which I already was) but good for when you move your console a lot.

mines just updated and now its fucked! it just sticks on teh xbox 360 logo and goes no farther.... useless t***s, im sure they will find some reason not to repair it under warranty too.... sigh. A broken 360 and a buggered ps3 now sit under my tv...

 

[The Ironist]

When it updates it does go to that and can sometime stick for a bit before continuing with the upgrade
