Some new stuff

Watch netflix streaming movie with your friends full screen or in a theater with avatars

Dashboard should be faster

Avatar clothing store to spend your M$ points

Games on Demand now has Xbox 360 games to buy instead of just Xbox 1 games.

Smaller game installs, if you like installing the game on your hard drive it will take up less space. Like Sega collection, which went from about 3.7GB to 701MB

How many years you been a Xbox live member, Mine is 6 years. here is a example

Achievement viewing is a bit better now also.

I know I miss some stuff so feel free to add.

Some stuff from the avatar store, I did not buy them just was looking.
I took them with my cell phone and then uploaded them so they are not great but you get the idea.

is going to require an update, which improves the dashboard and adds new features. One of those features is the availability of games on demand. Now, you can download full retail versions (with cash or Microsoft points) of select titles.

The launch lineup has more than 20 titles, all of them fairly old offerings. Prices are either $20 or $30 US. As such, few if any of the Games on Demand titles cost less than they do at retail. Still, for some the convenience of downloading a game rather than driving to a store is going to be tempting. We did a little comparison shopping, the results of which are very disappointing. There are no good deals on the list (despite the fact that Microsoft has cut out the retail outlets). About half the games are of fair market value, the other half are inexplicably more expensive to download than to purchase through Gamestop or Amazon.com.

Fair Deals

Listed below are all of the games we found to have the same cost on Xbox Live Marketplace and in retail stores in the U.S.

Assassin's Creed - $30
Burnout Paradise - $20
Fight Night Round 3 - $20
Mass Effect - $20
Meet The Robinsons - $30
Need for Speed Carbon - $20
Need for Speed: Most Wanted - $20
Prey - $20
Ridge Racer 6 (US only) - $20
Sonic the Hedgehog (US only) - $20
Viva Pinata - $20

Bad Deals

And here are all of the bum deals for games we could easily find at a better value through a retail outlet.

Battlefield: Bad Company – $20 on Xbox Live (XBL), but you can get the special Gold Edition new for the same price on Amazon.com.
BioShock (US only)/The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - $30 each on XBL, but you can get a combo pack in retail for just $40.
Call of Duty 2 – A surprising $30 on XBL. Not only is it old, you can find the used Game of the Year edition at Gamestop for $13.
Dance Dance Revolution Universe (US only) – Sure, it's only $30 on XBL, but doesn't come with the dance pad. If this is the first DDR game you buy, you can't actually play it!
Kameo: Elements of Power – $20 on XBL, but $14 new on Amazon.com.
Karaoke Revolution American Idol Encore (US only) - For $30 on XBL you can buy the game but not the mic.
LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga - $30 on XBL, only $20 new on Amazon.com.
MX vs. ATV Untamed - $30 on XBL, but $20 new at Gamestop
Perfect Dark Zero – Only $20 on XBL, but you can get it for $14 on Amazon.com.
Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis – $30 on XBL, but retails for $20 in stores.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas – $30 on XBL, but retails for $20 in stores.
Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise - $30 on XBL, but retails for $20 in stores.

Pretty cool so far. I like how it tells you which games you've 100%'d.



and BF: Bad Company isn't a bad deal at 20... the only thing the gold edition had over the normal edition were free weapon unlocks... but the developers made the unlocks free to everyone a few months ago. My copy broke so I might just buy it through here.

i like it i bought a adidas hat and a shirt but it would be cool if they had basketball jerseys. Also if you noticed , you know when you join somones Xbox Live party you hear that clicking sound from your tv? now you hear it in your mic too when you join or leave.

[ManuTP9]

you can unlock some clothes by playing games also, they havent said what games though yet.

[koriwhat]

buy games? ha!

Also for the lazy asses the all new eject button
see: me.

I can just barely reach my disc tray without standing up from my chair, but not the eject button. I could care less about anything else the update included, but this is fantastic news. :tu

buy games? ha!
So I guess modded boxes survived the update?
