During a heated (and lengthy) game of co-op Borderlands I was presented with a "you've been disconnected from Xbox Live" message. On reconnecting, a dashboard update that could only be the preview program downloaded and installed. After rebooting, I tried out the facebook and twitter apps only to be mildy disappointed by their simplicity. Almost half the facebook status posts contained web links or videos which were not accessable on account of no browser included on the Xbox (you win this one, PS3). Twitter was equally simple but there's less to miss with the service. Last.fm was almost identical to their web interface, but since I can't play it while doing other things I'm sure it's use will be rare. Overall some neat additions but hoping they update each with additional features in the near future. My need to kill scrags approaching a critical level, I re-joined the game I got booted from and savored the sweet release of scrag death.

I got my beta on Xbox for Facebook as well. While I agree it's not that useful, having the fullscreen photoalbum viewing is kinda cool since you can't do that on the actual web based Facebook. Excelcier |
