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
