Last.fm is fantastic. Wish you could listen outside of the application (ie in games), but I wasn't really expecting that. #facebook

If I could get tunes streaming while playing games...now that'd be sweet. #facebook

This can't be right... #facebook

I was in the NXE beta as well, and I'm not too pleased with how little they've been keeping us updated...at least via the 360 interface.
That "Announcements" thing would have been a good place to note the updates. #facebook

You know this doesn't let them sign up for a facebook account, right, just sign in?
So chances are if they have an account, they've got access some other way beyond the 360. And since the 360's facebook is one of the most gimped, its actually the one you should feel safest about.
Also; you can't hide them from the big bad interwebs forever. #facebook

And whole thing about hiding them fromt he internet is crap.. I am not putting my 6 year old online with you perverts. The older one can do this stuff the way god intended, behind our back until he gets caught. #facebook

Just a word of advice, telling them no, absolutely not, never, is just going to make them sneak around about it. Hello planet computer virus and russian underground snuff porn by accident.
Explaining and assisting and being there is going to at least make them come to you when they have questions about this or that.
Its better to have a child that thinks facebook is crap because you sat down with them and explained it and why its silly, rather than a child who signs up for it because Dad said no ('I wonder why?') and its forbidden fruit.
Coming from a guy who remembers himself and his younger brothers with very restrictive parents not that many years ago. #facebook

Thanks for the sweeping generalization of gamers. That's sure to endear you to this group in no time. #facebook

I plan to get the Facebook and Last.fm ones, but skip the twitter thing. #facebook
11/12/09
The only other change is the Video Marketplace becomes the Zune Marketplace. #facebook

That's where the problem arises. This might be ok for last.fm and twitter because of how simple they are, but I can't imagine a different format for facebook that would be just as versatile as the one on PC. And granted we've already gotten a review saying it's pretty shitty, I think it's safe to say it will be the least used out of the 3.

The only benefit I've seen from facebook 360 thus far (as I am using the preview) has been the ability to see pictures fullscreen, which you cannot do with facebook.
Otherwise, its about as easy as navigating the 360 dashboard (easy!) but this is completely useless when it comes to facebook (cant click on anything, cant use most features, unless you have a keypad its too much of a pain in the ass to type, etc etc) #facebook

Also, are they bringing any more Awards for games? It was awesome how they treated Halo to some cool free things if you had the achievements...

Last.fm not in games? What about while using the dashboard? or facebook? or anything? I guess it will be cool if it scrobbles all the things I play on my xbox, but I guess that involves me loging into it? or will it update when I turn my xbox on?
Why would I give MS money for movies if I don't give anyone else money for movies?
There just isn't a lot of info here and if they want us to preview it and give feedback, they should give us more information. #facebook

Also "Why would I give MS money for movies..."? Because that's called PURCHASING. If you choose to pirate (or whatever it is you do) then you can still use Media Center for playing them. There is no sense in downgrading something simply because you don't want to pay for it. #facebook

There is no point of playing movies in media center when you can just use the videos section to connect to a shared folder on a computer to stream my 1080p 5.1 content.
MKV support! seriously! Podcast support? RSS support? Penny Arcade comics? I mean I can think of a ton of other things that would be better on the Xbox than twitter.
Back to Borderlands, that will dull the pain. #facebook
