I'm in! I received the email.

Did anyone else checked mhg83 video? That guys is connecting to Xbox Live using a 3G connection and his friend list loaded ultra fast! I'm connected by cable modem in a 16 mbps down connection and it takes hours to load my friend list!

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest

email received, but no change on the dashboard. I hope it comes soon.

What happens if you're playing a game when the update hits? Or does it only check when you sign in?

In the past I've been signed out of a game to apply an update.

I saw Major's message in Twitter and signed in but nothing.

And yeah, now I'm signing in and signing out every couple of minutes, sorry about that.

I started up 'Splosion Man and it kicked over.

It's a little faster from what I can tell and I'm a big fan of the way the achievements are listed now. Other than that, it's about the same so far.

I just turned the Xbox again and I received a message to apply the update.

Testing now.

Yeah about the same.

I checked the Avatar Marketplace thinking that I would be the first cool kid with the new/exclusive clothes, but then I changed my mind and decided I didn't want to be the first sucker to buy something from the Avatar Marketplace.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest

I was going to ask: What would you buy for your avatar? I would buy from an NCAA store. I think a nice Oklahoma State t-shirt or jersey would look mighty fine for Football/Basketball season. Hell, I'd even play NCAA 2010 if they had unlockables for it.

Beyond that, I can't think of much.

I thought speeding up NXE wasn't part of this update. You may be imagining things pinata.

My FL is loading faster. Although I'm not sure if that was before or after the update.

Maybe. The friend list seemed a little quicker to me. Maybe not.

Anyone spending money on avatar stuff deserves a good cock punch.
Spoiler:
Yes, I realize the irony of spending $5 for what is essentially having an avatar here at dvdtalk

As long as your girlfriend is still willing to come by and massage it I don't mind a good cock punch.

I will pay money for a cigar prop, I doubt if that will ever be an option though.

The Monkey Island stuff is the shit! I won't pay for it, but I would use it if they were unlockable. Can't wait to see what 'Splosion Man offers.

So only Groucho has an idea of something he would pay for, no one else?

Like you said, maybe a jersey for my favorite team. That's about it. How much are the clothes anyway?

They vary from 80-240 points ($1-$3) from what I've seen.

Depending on how few points it cost, I could see myself buying some weird piece of flair that relates to one of my interests, like maybe a Ramones T-shirt or a Yankees cap.
