Hence my "doubt it" comment. It likely just allows you to optimize your color, contrast, etc. settings in your tv menu.

I kind of like them dropping new clothes for the avatars for free. Anything to slowly make it so all the avatars look so similar.
That being said, the last pack gave me a Firefly style browncoat and a cowboy hat so i am happy.

Well my Elite system just Red Ringed after hanging a few times while playing GH Metallica (also hung at the dashboard). Built in March of '08, I think I got it late Summer. Awesome. 
Oh wait, maybe this is a very cruel April Fool's joke that my Xbox is playing on me. Bastard! He sure got me good!

Yes, today. No new features.
Xbox 360 System update now available (no new features)
A few minutes ago, the team released a system update for the Xbox 360 over Xbox LIVE. Sometime over the next few hours when you sign in to Xbox LIVE you’ll receive a prompt to accept this mandatory update. This update addresses interruption issues that some Xbox LIVE users may have experienced when playing a limited number of Xbox 360 games.
There are no other changes or enhancements in this update…in other words no new features.
This update will be rolled out to all Xbox LIVE members around the world over the space of a few hours, so you may not get prompted for the update immediately.
Thanks for your patience.

Queensryche is the Xbox Live Artist of the Month for April:
We can buy the video? Wow. Screw that, where are my Rock Band tracks?
Xbox Live Marketplace Is Exclusive Retailer For "If I Were King" Video
New Album American Soldier Now Available From Atco/Rhino; U.S. Tour To Begin April 16 In Seattle
LOS ANGELES -- Queensr˙che has been selected as "Xbox Artist Of The Month" for April to coincide with the release of their new album American Soldier. Starting today, the Xbox LIVE Marketplace will be the exclusive retailer for the band's new video "If I Were King." Xbox LIVE users can now purchase the video for a cost of 160 Microsoft points. Xbox LIVE users can also watch an exclusive free video clip of the recording session of "Sliver" featuring lead singer Geoff Tate and guest vocalist and soldier A.J. Fratto.
On April 13, just days before the kickoff of the American Soldier Tour, Tate and guitarist Michael Wilton will take part in a Xbox "Game With Fame," where Xbox LIVE users can play against the band members. Tate will be taking on competitors in "NASCAR 09" and Wilton will be squaring off against users on "Halo 3." The Queensr˙che "Game With Fame" will take place on April 13 between 1:00-3:00 PM PT. Visit www.xbox.com/gwfqueensryche for more details.
American Soldier features a dozen songs inspired by numerous interviews with veterans conducted by Tate, who was intent on telling their story using their words. After speaking with soldiers who served in various conflicts (from World War II to Iraq) Tate turned their firsthand experiences from the frontlines into an unflinching musical examination of war from the soldier's perspective.
Queensr˙che will launch an extensive tour of the U.S. on April 16 at the Snoqualmie Casino outside of the band's hometown of Seattle. The shows will be presented in three suites, with the band performing sets from American Soldier, Rage For Order, and Empire.

What is a release 20GB Xbox 360 worth?
I just got my RE5 console set up so put my Console, 20GB HD and 1 wireless controller up on CL for $125. Had a bunch of offers right away and someone offered $150 when I said I had full offers already. They are picking up this eve (assuming they are not a flake).
Am I too low on price?

Music videos on the Marketplace should all be free. TV shows and movies I can understand but I'm not paying a cent for any music video.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
What is strange is music videos used to be free. I had several on my HDD that i snagged when i first got a 360 a few years back and thought it was kind of cool i could check out some of the videos (since i never see MTV and the like). Then about 9 months or a year back i saw that all the videos cost MS points now and it seemed really strange to me.
