Xbox update today
Well after having the update since saturday i can say its very nice, nice little extras.
Facebook - is fun but i dont think i will use it that much seeing as i have a laptop. Twitter - I dont even have an account but i can see how people will like it if they use it Both would be nice if they worked with games to update what you are doing. Last.fm - Brilliant just brilliant, great to leave it on and potter around the house playing through my sound system Zune and 1080p stream movies - Watched Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and to be honest you couldnt tell the difference between streamed and a disc. Be warned tho that it rapes your bandwidth more than torrents, i have a 50 meg line and while i was watching the movie my housemate couldnt even open a web page. Streaming full 1080p movies is nice cause you dont have to download to your harddrive so if you are like me and still have a 20gig hard drive its a nice welcome. And they play instantly as soon as you hit play Sky - Didnt have that on the preview but its coming today and from what i read it will be £15 a month for channels like Sky One etc, will be more for Sky Movies and Sky Sports. There is also talk about the terrestrial channels joining later too. With these new updates the 360 really is becoming more than just a games console. And with the first console offering full 1080p movies that play instantly too, its all very exciting

Have you downloaded the update? if so from the spotlight go down one to community and download the facebook app to get it started
EDIT: if you havent had the download yet then you have to wait. I've had it since saturday cause i signed up to the preview to get it early |

Facebook is weird at first as its setup the same as xbox dashboard with moving left to right, up and down to find things but after awhile it feels nice

Prices range from 200 points to 500ish depending on how new the movie is. They start playing as soon as you hit play, no loading times at all

200 points = about £2 for people who were wondering
obviously if you shop around you can probably find points cards for a bit less

At the price of downloadable HD content, and movies (not just on live btw, virgin and sky too), you are better off renting a better quality DVD or BD.
