Why not tell us about it? A bot can post the title of an article and a link.

what else would there for me to say?

I don't even own a 360, so I have no comments on this fixing anything that frustrated me.

I mean woopty freakin' doo, a fast forward and rewind setting for Movies on the HDD, and a bunch of glitch fixes and other country stuff.

it mostly matters because it is rumored to detect backup discs and ban you from live

which sucks for me because I have a hitachi drive and there is no update for it yet to prevent the banning

It actually adds a lot more than that.

Check out the following official press release to get the <i>real</i> scoop.

Instant Messaging Comes to Xbox 360, Expanding the Largest Social Network on Television
Xbox 360 owners can connect with more than 260 million Windows Live Messenger users on Xbox 360, Windows-based PCs and Windows Mobile-powered devices beginning the week of May 7.

REDMOND, Wash. â€” April 8, 2007 â€” Your Xbox LIVEÂ® friends list is about to get a whole lot bigger. Microsoft Corp. today announced the launch of Windows Liveâ„¢ Messenger on Xbox 360â„¢, connecting friends across Xbox 360 consoles, MicrosoftÂ® WindowsÂ®-based PCs and Windows MobileÂ®-powered devices. With this update to Xbox 360, friends and families can easily connect and chat directly from their television using Windows Live Messenger, a network of more than 20 billion relationships and more than 260 million active accounts.

Beginning the week of May 7, 2007, the Xbox 360 Spring Update will provide Xbox 360 owners worldwide with access to Windows Live Messenger features, broadening the communication options on the Xbox LIVE social network. Members of the 6 million-strong Xbox LIVE community currently send more than 2 million text and voice messages a day and can now use Windows Live Messenger to text chat with up to six people on their contact list at one time, while playing games, listening to music or watching movies. Text chat adds to the variety of options friends and families already have to communicate with on Xbox LIVE, including voice and video chat.

Current relationships on Windows Live Messenger and Xbox LIVE will be unified on Xbox 360 and users will see at a glance if their existing friends on Windows Live Messenger have gamertags, instantly expanding the breadth of connected experiences they can share online.

â€œBringing the largest IM community in the world, Windows Live Messenger, to Xbox 360 makes sense, as Xbox LIVE has really become the largest social network on television,â€

Yeah, I heard that you have to be over 18 to use it and that people who signed up for Live before they were 18 (but are 18 now) have not been able to use it either. Sounds like they've got some kinks to work out with it.

I'm curious to hear why they chose to make it only available to those over 18. I'm assuming there must be some legal reason, but I have not heard anything official as of yet.

Hopefully they can figure out a way around it eventually and make it available to everyone.
