fatDaddy21:The only useful thing I've seen w/Facebook integration is that having picture album slideshows on the tv.
I agree, looking at the photos in HD is awesome.
I was excited for twitter...but all of these updates are pretty useless if you have to quit everything else you're doing, go back to the dashboard, log in, and then post your updates. It'd be nice to have access to these things in-game or in-whatever you're doing.
The music is especially useless if you can't stream it in-game.
Nice try, M$.
I've been using Last.fm on XBL quite a bit now. It's nice to hear music other than my own while I work and while it would be cool to be able to be used in-game, I would then miss out on the Brutal Legend soundtrack.
Facebook is nice for photos, and is the main reason I use it, while twitter is pointless to me with or without XBL integration.
The only thing I plan on using is Last.fm but seen as I can't be in game and use it it's kind of pointless. In general, I really don't find any of these updates useful. I believe the PS3 haters would call this an unnecessary/horrible/pointless update if it was for the PS3.

Speaking of useless ps3 updates, did anyone try and DL 3.1 (i think) last night? That was an exercise in frustration

No but I have to tonight the wife is looking forward to using the facebook option.
It didn't become available for me until after I was done with some Resistance 2, so I'll get it another time. Probably tonight since I have to play ratchet & Clank before sending it out
Of the 3, I chose Last FM. But overall, I think they're a worthless addition...

did it before i went to bed; gotta love the "shut down after updating" feature
The servers must have been completely bombarded because it took forever to get 50% of the way through, then it gave me an error. I'm gonna try again tonight.
The last XBL update gave us the avatar store, and this one gave us 3 more useless features. There's not a single reason I'll ever use one of these.
