ZOMG a limited featured Facebook app on my xbox? Awesome I can't wait! Will there be annoying ads like in the real Facebook?

You get people to sign up for something that they are obviously paying attention to (non gamers and non blog readers likely wouldn't have known about the preview) and they find your bugs and feel like they are in on the action. It's great for Microsoft, it's great for the end user.

Open betas tend to yield great results. Hell, remember the Halo 3 Multiplayer Preview? It was pretty buggy at first but when the real release came, most of the bugs in the multiplayer gameplay were gone. Weapons were optimized for the most even matches. Spawn points were changed. It led to great things.]]>Oct 22nd 2009 11:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/Oct 23rd 2009 12:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/Oct 23rd 2009 3:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/Oct 22nd 2009 10:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/

Too bad Xbox 360 doesn't have a web browser cause I wish I could use it to watch Youtube, rather than rely on PS3 or Wii.

No built in WiFi isn't helping either.

And what's with the character creation? Why did they bother to copy Wii? Those characters add NOTHING to the xbox live experience.]]>Oct 22nd 2009 10:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/Oct 22nd 2009 10:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/Oct 22nd 2009 10:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/Oct 22nd 2009 10:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/Hopefully you're still able to count your rrod consoles on one hand.]]>Oct 23rd 2009 12:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/The only thing that bothers me now is how long it will take to type in a twitter update.

I would get an Xbox 360, but if all you're playing is sports games (and don't plan on playing online), it really won't make a big difference. PS3 does have MLB the Show, which is exclusive to PlayStation if you're interested. ]]>Oct 22nd 2009 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/Oct 22nd 2009 11:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/Oct 23rd 2009 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/Oct 22nd 2009 10:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/Oct 22nd 2009 11:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/
I thought I would never get one of those expensive controller keyboards since I'd just leave voice messages.. genius Microsoft, genius!

(Well I guess I could just hook a USB keyboard up to the 360... but that would be really goofy and I should just use a computer then.)

Of course I have computers to do all of that, but if you're on a computer, why would you even be using 140 char. Twitter? Just seems really silly unless you are on a mobile device, because otherwise you would just use Facebook or Myspace.

Hopefully you can update achievments and whatnot to Facebook like I've seen in random screenshots, that would be a nice advantage over using a PC to Facebook :P

I think it'll be great Tweeting on Xbox, when there's really nothing to do but spurt out random comments to the world (during loading screens.... if you can Tweet in game.)

I don't really care about the Zune Marketplace integration since my computers have larger hard drives to store random videos (if podcasts and web videos will be included), and I could just hook them to the TV if they worth 40 in. screen worthy, and if it's a movie I'd just rent it on Xbox Live to begin with. No point in watching HD podcasts on the TV (or Zune for that matter since I don't walk to commute), unless of course they scale the HD podcasts to be HD on your tv.. Haven't tried that yet.]]>Oct 22nd 2009 11:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/Oct 22nd 2009 11:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/Oct 23rd 2009 1:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/Oct 22nd 2009 11:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/Oct 22nd 2009 11:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/Oct 22nd 2009 11:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/Oct 23rd 2009 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/Oct 22nd 2009 11:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/Oct 22nd 2009 11:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program-now-rolling-out/
