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.

Yeah same here.. I was kinda disappointed when I saw the Netherlands gets no last.fm.. Facebook and twitter are ok,  but it has no connection to the games whatsoever, so you can't really upload any screenshots mid-game or anything like that. It's completely separate and same goes for twitter. For me it doesn't have any use. Zune is cool though. I can stream 1080p movies, but then again, I probably won't use it. But that's the best feature of the bunch.

Check out the music blade for last.fm and zune hd.

Check out the other blades - I'm on vacation and away from my 360, but twitter doesn't require a download.

OT: Facebook locked my 360 up - but hey, it's a beta.



So far I have really liked the new updates. Last.fm is going to be great once I update my home theater sound! It works flawlessly and unlike Pandora.com, you can skip pretty much as many times as you want, I think. There's just a 10 second ad every 10 songs or so which was no problem.

Facebook is cool and works VERY well for showing photos and things. Loads a lot faster than on the web in this regard.

Zune HD streaming is superb. I think it can detect your screen settings via the Xbox console because when I ran my speed test it just said HD Streaming (only have 720p HDTV currently). I watched a movie and it played very smooth. There were a few moments where my connect fluctuated and you could see the picture adjust for a split second or two, but how it does this is amazingly fast and much preffered over the old Netflix method of stopping the entire video. I was using my 5.1 surround headset and the audio quality was also very very clear and superb.



So did I, and I haven't had a chance to play with it yet, and now my kid is hogging the 360 :(



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

Don't tell me that... I'm playing Star Ocean 4 and Prototype... you'll distract me from finishing my gamefly rentals so I can get new ones



I really like the zune HD. Now I don't have to walk 500m to rent a movie. :D

You could rent movies from XBL long time ago,  before Zune HD. Netflix already does that too.

Maybe in where you happen to live.



I got the email (twice) that I have been accepted into the preview program. The only problem is, it still hasn't update and I got the emails 2 days ago. I clicked the link it provided in the email for information on the update and it says don't worry if you don't get it right away you should get it by Tuesday. If I don't get it by then I guess I'll contact them.

Anyone else have this happen?
