TBH, I don't know when it appeared. I think I first noticed it after my RROD in March. Probably when I set it all back up. Maybe it came with NXE but no one noticed?

so.. Im sure its old news and been discussed

but just noticed that the latest updates allow you to browse all the instant offerings from netflix.. instead of only having access to what you put in your queue from a computer

thats great

It's nice, but also silly in that you don't have access to see everything available for streaming (only certain selections from their library) and can't search for titles. It was a very puzzling decision, but still it's better than before.

yep.. a step in the right direction at least

XBLM DotW for 8/17:



At least it means the list we saw for August last week isn't far off the mark.

Here is some Hot Felicia Day action since The Guild is on XBL. Can't wait for the new season.

That's available for free download from Xbox Marketplace as well.
Silly as usual, but I enjoyed watching it, and the series as a whole. Seemed like the final ep of S2 sort of wrapped things up in a way, so I'm not sure where they're going to go. then again, we're not really expecting Citizen Kane out of it.

This is pretty crappy news the Elite 360 No Longer Ships With Component cables or HDMI cables. What a dumb way to cut cost Microsoft.

Eh, cables are like $5 or less. But yeah, they should have kept them in.

Not those proprietary component/RCA cables.

Yeah, that seems pretty stupid. Sony got shit for it for the last 3 years; dumb for Microsoft to take it away.

This is probably a side effect of the Elite getting a $100 price drop. Guess they figure they can sell you the component cable to make back some of that $100.

I still cant find it. The feature was supposed to show on friends gamertags too, no? Arent we supposed to be able to see how long our friends have been a member of LIVE?

On your 360's dashboard, go to the "My Xbox" row (the one with the game-in-tray as the first option). The 2nd option is your profile, push A.

For your friends, go to your friends list (either the row on the dashboard or via the guide button). Pick a friend and push A.

um... are you just messing with me? Wouldnt be the first time MS didnt follow through with a new feature...

what are you trying to show here? tbird and your Live age? 3 & 6 according to those images you posted.

Yeah I am confused.

Yeah, I don't get it. Both those screenshots show the tenure...

yeah, do you see the big number in the circle to the right of the gamertag? That's how long they've been a member of live.

OK i see it. I was expecting a date or something. The number with no reference to it didnt make any sense. Thanks!

Thanks Ferris I thought I was having a stroke or something.

you know it doesnt help that the number of 'rep stars' means absolutely nothing.
