It will require the Optimus keyboard in order for full functionality, and will require a special USB to USB adapter to be used on non-Elite versions of the console.
I'm with ya on the 3rd point...just because i had the trial of some live arcade game doesn't mean I want it to show up on my list of games!as for the last one... what about the existing feature: group chat ?
This is *extremely* good news to me, as I've been converting all of my TV Shows to H264 for my iPod. Now that XBox360 will play them, I won't even need to consider the AppleTV, since I'm sure it'll play almost any h264 I through at it.
Man, I'm so disappointed with the lack of 16:10 resolutions (specifically 1440x900). It can't _honestly_ be that hard to implement, can it?Actually, to tell the truf, I'd be happy if it just displayed 720p with a border. Guess I can't be that lucky.

Canada doesn't even have the TV and Movie downloads. So I doubt Europe would suddenly be seeing it any time soon.

I'm amazed that this "feature" wasn't there to start with.

I love how 1 or 2 things are leaked by people other than Microsoft and suddenly they can't keep 'any' secrets.

I think getting the updates are exciting. I've never worried about anything going wrong and so far nothing's gone wrong :)
