Any thoughts? I was sooo sceptical about the whole avatar system they were going to introduce, but it turned out so nice! I love how you can customize it with all the cute clothes and accessories! *giggles*  The menu itself is pretty confusing still, I'm so used to the old that I keep on getting lost. I can't access any stuff from the marketplace either, anyone has the same problem?

Yeah, same problem with the marketplace stuff. Took me about 5 tries to buy a theme - I'm guessing they'll have it fixed soon though.
Overall, I like it. The netflix feature, new layout, group chat/party system, and the ability to download games to your HDD (even though mine is too small for something like that) all seems promising.

I was checking at prices for a HDD with a greater capacity, but it's really expensive. :\ See how long I can keep this one before it's completely stuffed.

Your profile had me laughing, charming indeed. I was thinking, this update allows you to plant your games on the HDD, which is nice (if you have the space), it's more silent if the 360 doesn't have to use the drive, maybe it won't get as warm then, but won't people buy a game, ditch it on the HDD, play it from there and return the game to the store? I don't know if you guys get your money back when you return it, or have to exchange for another game, but won't the gamecompanies lose money if people were to do this?

Or am I missing something crucial here? Where I live, you can only trade the game for another one within 24 hours, and you won't get your money back.

Monday: Buy a game, put it on your hdd Tuesday: Return the game, trade it for another, same story Wednesday: Repeat the cycle Thursday: And again etc etc  But if you do it like twice they'll already get suspicious hehe xD I'll get a pic of mine later today I think  /Edit: Here's mine, bit blurry but it's from my phone  You two used a camera?

Surely you have to insert the disc to start up the game, then it just reads the data from the hard drive. I'm sure there is something in place to stop people from doing that RuYi

It does the initial check, and then loads everything from the HDD. 97% sure

Nice avatar, Moshe! I like the hair! I took a picture with my camera yeah, if I took it with my phone it'd look terrible lol.

Gamespot wrote an article before the new patch was released on the loading time improvements. It's only a couple of seconds, but since I play the same two games I did it - the sound reduction is nice. They said that you needed the disk in to run a game too. I just started playing my xbox more than my PC and it's a pain in the ass always having to swap CDs - I wish there was a way around this.

Offtopic: Shomari, I see that you're good at halo with kills etc, but why do you only have 1.5k ex out of 5k+ matches? >.< And how do you get that bungie.net sig thing, I want it too

 I was doubting the avatar thing and just labeling it as a cheap ripoff to Wii's Mii. But its pretty sweeeet. Kinda blurry, phone camera.
