Has anyone else had a chance to download the update on the 19th? You now have avatars...so I can't HELP but think that they are trying to get a leg up on the Wii, with their "Mii's" he he. BUT, I do like the new layout, you get to choose the facial features (kind of miffed that you can only choose 1 facial feature, maybe they will change that if they get enough feedback) the clothes, the body type (wide, skinny, fat or tall) and sometimes they make funny expressions (like cross eyed while taking the gamer picture, I ended up keeping that one for a few days ha ha). Other features of the update? When viewing your friends' avatars, they have backgrounds, and after a while, you'll notice that they change randomly, like from a skate park, to fighter space jets. They now have even EASIER navigation within the dashboard, to describe the smoothness of transition onscreen, I'm gonna have to say that it reminds me of widgets. Yep, definitely widgets! And the best feature of all?? The one that I like best?? That you can now go on the marketplace through xbox.com and queue your downloads! How sweet is this?? Well, I think that's awesome! So, if you are a gamer, and also an xbox 360 owner, AND updated your system (free in case you didn't know), please share your opinions, dislikes as well as likes, right on here, and I would like to apologize in advance if there is already any similar discussions on here about the update. I did a search, but came up with nothing, so I went ahead (as you should, search first that is.) HAPPY MYLOTTING!!

I was pretty happy with the update. I like the new layout of the dashboard is easier to navigate in my opinion now and see no problem with adding avatars just adds another dimension to the system that could attracting a new type of audience. I love the new thing with the netflix since I have a netflix subscription and can stream movies through my xbox which I think is pretty awesome. Overall it is a positive change.

I totally agree with the netflix thing! (Sorry for taking so long to respond ha ha) because of the netflix thing, I was wondering if the movie can be downloaded to the hd, so you don't have to worry about the buffering thing if it's right online or what?
