- Ok, I've been reading over: www.xbox.com/.../0714-netflixteamup.htm everyone NEEDS a NetFlix account. Okay. But when MajorNelson previewed that feature he demonstrated HOW you had to go to your PC and put a movie to be NEXT-IN-LINE to be shipped to you in order to watch it next, follow?

Do we still have to do that? I'm only asking as I have a friend with NetFlix, he's wondering how it will work. If no answers before the release, I guess he will be the guinea pig. This sounds great, but I guess I would like an Xbox Live NetFlix Streaming Account where no movie is EVER mailed to me. Like how we use the Xbox360 to download movies from the Video Market Place. I've only rented ONE movie (Joe's Apt - which was stolen from the rental store I used to work at), but it expired before (24 minutes to go) I could finish it You only have 24 hours to watch a movie as soon as you hit PLAY. With NetFlix on Xbox Live, it would be nice to just have an Unlimited Streaming Account, watch say average 5 movies a week.

Also, my other question is, how do you stop the movie you just streamed from getting shipped to you? Go and remove it from the que online?

I'm going to have truly test this to make sure my sister could handle such technology and process before spending the money with good intentions. I hope this works with the trial NetFlix account.

@Arsenic13

- I was hoping for that very thing also for use in Street Fighter Anniversary and Guilty Gear X2 #Reload. The voice chat compression in those games is a bit consuming. Barely can hear each other. I wish I could check my messages and chat while playing Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis too. I'm hoping, but we will see when the release is upon us. Also network congestion minimized by seeing the ping off all the competing players no matter the game. Or even, like Halo 3, ONLY FASTEST CONNECTIONS or ONLY GOOD CONNECTIONS filtering for Quick Matches.

Will we be able to talk to our friends and use the full features of live while playing original xbox games? Like single player ones.

Sir, could you please make the Fallupdate in the September time frame?

I mean if it is releasing in Nov then they should just say it will be release in the New Year or Xmas. We should have something fun before the big Game month Nov. Otherwise until the Nov, it would be boring as hell and I just bought 120GB HDD upgrade kits because I thought Fall is supposed to be September Time frame.

Please~

I'm very intrigued about the latest build and what it will include. Shame I'm over in England and cannot make the weekend over there.

Hope it all goes well for you and you enthuse the enthusiasts that much more!

Gears of War 2 and Halo Wars are bound to be immense - to see them live in action and even get a feel for them would be nothing short of the ultimate privilege.

@Vice Destroyer

- I'll pop in my flashdrive this evening and play a game (I usually play music while playing UNO as that music is so boring and hypnotic it puts me to sleep).

I'll post the results. But I will note, heavy games (Crackdown and Burnout Paradise) are know to stop the music when exiting. And backwards compatible games (Street Fighter Anniversary - if I am not mistaken) continue to play the music and you can not stop, pause, fast forward or alter your music in anyway.

Let me get back to you on that. I'll do it before playing Castle Crashers this evening.

@WarrenGonline.

Thanks for the info. Who knows, I may get myself one of those heavy-duty USB keys as well, but I wasn't quite clear on whether you have issues as well when you exit a game with your custom soundtrack playing. Did you mean that your music stops completely? Or that it plays one song on a loop? Or that you have absolutely no problems of any kind and totally recommend playing music from a USB key?

What I would like to see is an Xbox360 that actually works before fiddling around with software. That would be a "New Xbox Experience" to me. I'm on unit five and am dreading the refurbished unit that I will get back. Can you tell your colleagues at Microsoft to fix the device pleeeeeeease.
