    It's a novelty that will very quickly wear off. Really don't need this crap tbh. It seems that Microsoft are trying to make it less of a gaming console and more of a everything but gaming console.

    Dear Microsoft,

    Please give me a proper browser or GTFO.

    Yours,
    Mr. Fed up of your lack of originality

    yeah i agree this whole update was pretty weak. last.fm was the one thing i was looking forward to and bang its only in uk and us, POINTLESS!!!

    facebook app does work well but come on, people who actually are on facebook enough to want to use an app like that would more than likely have there pc's on all day so that is just worthless on an xbox.

    twitter is ok, but all you can do is read tweets and post them its kinda stupid, you can't do anything else on the xbox dash. i mean you have to go into it as a program. it should have been on the dashboard so it was quick to type a tweet. if you can't do it during a game then whats the point of having it on a gaming console.

    Ok, after a full weekend playing around with this, I can say that it is utterly 'meh' and wouldn't warrant any of the fanfare MS are giving it.

    The Zune Video streaming is really good, but the selection of videos is below minimal to say the least. From their earlier spiel it sounded like they would finally be offering loads of content globally. Not so.

    Facebook and Twitter are both things that I don't agree with and would be just as happy not having them on the console. I played with them for a bit, and quickly realised why I dislike them so.

    Last.FM and News & More don't work for Ireland so there's no need for them to plug this as a major feature.

    Also the new Music Games channel seems like such a waste of space too.

    Overall, I never had much of a problem with the NXE, but I thought it was supposed to de-clutter the dashboard. This update seems to add some more clutter back.

    Overall verdict: Had potential, must try harder. 3/10

    might have been useful if it automatically tweet the game you are playing or achievements won.

    If you sign up to Xbox Live Nation they have an app that does this for you.

    TrueAchievements.com also have a similar app.
