Full 360 Game Downloads - I'm sorry but this is totally Microsoft's way of getting everyone to upgrade there hard drives. Yes, load your HDD up with full 360 games and watch how fast you need a new one! Oh and pay full price for them! I mean I was contemplating grabbing Lego Star Wars (Since I fucking love them games). But for $30?! Come on. I could go to Gamestop down the road and get it used for less then that. I guess it comes with that whole lazy factor. But yes, I WOULD drive less then a mile to just buy a game for less money. This will be a cool deal when the marketplace has deals of the week and may sell a game for like $10. But for now I wouldn't waste your money.
Avatar store - Really? A Lightsaber for 400pts?! A Rock Band SONG is 160pts!!! What the fuck! I get some of the clothes for sale for like 80pts. Because maybe you bought 500pts and only spent 400pts of that so you figure i'll buy my avatar a new shirt for 80pts. Whatever. But i'm not spending 400 fucking points on a god damn lightsaber for my fucking xbox avatar.
Now, whats cool is you can now unlock trophy's and items by playing games. This is what should have been done in the first place. The Playstation Network has been doing this with there HOME avatars and it's been working great. Although they don't implicate it much. You have to "buy" the really REALLY cool shit. All I gotta say is i'll wait to win a lightsaber for my avatar. (If Microsoft will actually allow it)
One cool thing though I noticed with the update. Is now when you friends are watching a movie over netflix on XBL. You can see what there watching by hovering over them. "Hey Horror Guy's watching a movie" *hovers over Horror Guy* *Netflix Poster turns into Daffy Ducks Quack Busters poster*. This will be cool when the 'Theater View' opens up later this fall and friends can join friends watching the same movie.
In other news, I bought the Gorillaz Track Pack.

-Feel Good Inc.

....For almost the same price as the FUCKIN' LIGHTSABER!!!
