The netflix is awesome. I added new stuff while the netflix thing was up on the 360, and it was immediately available to watch on there. Great, great stuff.

Buying marketplace stuff on the PC then having it download when i turn on the console?! Awesome.

What what what? I hadn't heard about this!

So i could be at work, log into xbox.com, tell it i want to buy Castle Crashers and it would autodownload when i got home?

one of the tabs says to check out marketplace.xbox.com - but it's not up yet apparently. But that's what the tab says you can do.

It's in the What's Hot section of the Welcome section.

:banana: How's that for an leak of unknown info bitches!?

That is going to be an awesome feature when it goes live.

I'm going to need you to cite your source.

Stupid question: How do I stick an SD card into the 360?

put it in your card reader, then plug that into the 360.

GatorDeb 11-14-08 09:13 PM

No SD slot, darn it. If I had a card reader, I would just plug it in into the PC ;)

My PCs are balking at the 16 gig SDHC. I guess it's time to get a good card reader.

I stand corrected then...that is awesome.

For the avatars, how much customization is initially available? Can you have a gamerpic AND an avatar?

a somewhat fair amount - somewhat generic but for what it is, it is not bad.

My gamerpic is an artistic snapshot of my avatar.

You only have to wait 4 more days. ;)

Shagrath 11-15-08 09:20 AM

Has anyone found the Photo Party app in the marketplace yet? I've looked around a bit and didn't see it anywhere. Some people said they saw it on the Spotlight page, but I don't have it there.

Decker 11-15-08 09:34 AM

Question : Is there a special deal for xbox Live members to try Netflix, or is it just the standard 2 week trial available to anyone?

GatorDeb 11-15-08 11:23 AM

Finally got PlayOn to work, and it is AWESOME. Netflix streaming rocks. The laptop wasn't good enough to run it. Now I have a regular PC connected through wired to the router and the XBOX is connected through a wire also. Works great. I can pause, fast forward, rewind (although sometimes it hiccups back to the selection screen if I'm fast-forwarding or rewinding). Watching For Warrick finally now (I've been watching eps from S9 of CSI here and there). Well worth it the $30.

Hulu is great also.

The one thing I couldn't play was Hulu HD (Captain Horrible's Sing-A-Long). That sucks as I don't see myself upgrading equipment anytime soon.

Michael Corvin 11-15-08 12:37 PM

One more tease. ;)

Looks like L&O is the only person on my friends list in the preview.

Yeah, slim picking so far. I wonder how the friends background junk pile is determined..

Not sure but I think that is a part of the new 'premium' themes they are selling. You get your backgrounds and then a character background for your friends list which is kinda retarded since you don't even see it, only your friends.

I saw a Gears themed one and the background behind the avatar looked straight outta GOW.

I just sent you a request. I thought you were already on my list :-) How'd you get your avatar to show like that???

quote the avatar post, then add your gamertag instead of his :)

AsmodeusVice 11-15-08 01:43 PM

So how long does the NXE take to download (roughly)?

I want to know so I know whether to call my girlfriend to turn on my xbox before I get home from work so it's all set up for me when I get home. I don't really want to miss the intro video either.
