The avatars is pretty lame, i think one of the new features is u can go into a chat room with friends and watch ur avatars talk to other avatars.

They signed a partnership with NetFlix allowing you to stream pretty much the entire netflix library to your 360

You have to rank your movies on their website and they send em to you in the mail based on rankings. I have no idea how it would work over xbox though.

Lol, yeah I recognize that.
I figured it out. There are certain movies you can watch instantly. You add those to a separate queue and the show up on your XBox.

Yep, although apparently not all of the watch instantly movies are available on Xbox Live. Still, I've got around 200 that are, although ten of them will be gone between now and December 2nd, including season 1 of the current Doctor Who series. :(

When you choose to play from your hard drive, you still need the disk.

That's dumb. I mean obviously they do it to prevent what he wants to do which makes sense, but why would you waste the space if you still have to physically put the disk in anyway?

The loading time for NCAA is cut in half for me, and it even looks a bit better actually.
Also, the best edition is party chats.

What?! That's ******* awesome!! Seriously, I love the sound of that, so all you basically need is the Netflix membership and hard drive space?
