Me too

I got in, no last.fm for Holland. Only UK and US :(

once again left out, i was looking forward to last.fm, more then the twitter and facebook app. Twitter and facebook would only be cool if you could post achievements on them.



I tried Facebook and it doesn't really do much for me. The Zune marketplace is cool, things load nice and quickly for me. I don't have a Twitter account so I need to set one up before I try that out. Last.fm is neat but since it doesn't play in the background, it kinda sucks for me. Plus, I have a Zune Pass so I can just download whatever song I want, whenever I want, so Last.fm is not really useful for me.



Zune and Last.fm are the best updates out of the bunch (IMHO). Too bad they didn't let you have it in Holland. I would imagine it has a lot to do with artist, and label rights. Not sure exactly why though.

Facebook is going to get more game intergration. EA with the next Tiger Woods golf will allow you to post screen shots and other stuff to Facebook. As for posting stuff to twitter. No thanks

it's all about Music Rights. Same reason the video stores in other areas took so long



Yup, all the copyright stuff is pretty much a mess down here. Luckely we can download legally anything we want, as long as we dont upload anything (little bit the same as you can buy weed but you cant sell it).

Not too long ago a politicion tried to make downloading illegal since there is no real interest in downloading/renting/netflix/zune hd kinda services. Hopefully zune marketplace will contribute to change this. Im sure that if we actually had something like netflix people would use it. Most download services only offer a few movies and most of them arent that interesting.

Zune marketplace is ok, but it offers only a dozen uninteresting titles and a few good ones. (gran tarino!). Hopefully they\ll expand soon.
