Well Microsoft just released a beta that includes Facebook/Twitter/Last.fm/Zune i got in it. Under why you should be in it i put "I dont" And i beleive Rocksauron did that to get in the M.A.G. beta XD Yeh i highly doubted they would read that and i was right i got in. Breakdown from my opinion Facebook: Great. You can do a minimum amount of things. Great for browsing through pictures. It takes awhile to get used to where everything is. Could be improved for a overall better look though Twitter: Amazing! i dont use twitter much but for people that do its great. You can easily update your status and look at your following updates. You can actually do anything on the xbox version of twitter that you can on the real one on the computer. You can even look at trending topics. Last.FM: BEST PART!!!! It is like Pandora radio but 10x better! and its on the xbox so you can have it on a big screen and put the sound real loud since its on your tv not computer. but yeh its amazingly awesome im using it right now! Zune: Sadly i have no info on this since i dont have a zune. seems good for looking at videos though. And thats all i got to say about it. Amazing update it just came into beta and its amazing!

I got my phone and PC for facebook, I don't use twitter, so I don't really care for them aspects. But my xbox is though my sound system, so Last.fm will be fantastic for me, its awful through the laptop currently, but its something I will get most use out of. I think Zune Marketplace has streaming 1080p videos straight to the xbox even if you don't have a zune. Thats the main feature I think. I'm curious to how quick it will be though, and what the sound quality is like. Are there any trailers you can use for free to test it I have a question though, do you need the last.fm app open, or can you play games and browse the dashboard with it still playing?

Well, its better than nothing I suppose. If you're playing it at a party or while your doing anything else in the house then its great. Saying that, I never use the xbox music in any game feature anyway so I don't know why I asked lol. I'm skeptical about the 1080p streaming because english broadband is useless unless you live in a major city, it won't be much of a benchmark you being in Chicago lol. I'd still like to hear what you think though if you get the time.

Yah and the ads for last.fm only happen like every 30minutes and they are like 4 seconds long. I just tried zune and i realized i cant do 1080p on my xbox cause i have a projection screen for my xbox. But i could tell it went a bit clearer but it wasnt 1080p. I cant switch it to my plasma tv cause my dad is going to want to play ps3 soon so i think i will have time to try it this weekend. like friday or saturday

you know you can get your seriel number by going in your xbox option menu right you dont have to look at the back of the system. They needed your seriel number cause they sent the update to your xbox without like sending you a email or anything.

Not that i need them, i have a mac which i use for when i need facebook, and i have the download to let me play music from my ipod... So last.fm is pointless too
