New Xbox Live

Has anyone tired it?

I downloaded it last night and f-ed around with it for a bit but I have a sick kid at home right now so little time for fun. It seemed pretty cool and my avatar came out cool. It was almost like Xbox is getting a little Wii like on us.

Anybody try the Netflix portion?

I got the update...I'm not sold on the usability of it yet because I'm use to the old one. I tried Netflix and it's pretty good as far as playing movies goes. Netflix's streaming movie collection leaves much to be desired though.

Do you guys actually buy tv shows in the XBox Marketplace? What sort of shows are you buying?

I can get pretty much the same shit through Netflix so it makes the movie/show marketplace worthless.

Well you can watch the netflix on your tv instead of your comput and yes I know i can output my laptop to my tv, it is just easier.

SS, I once bought a movie and the voice was off so I have not since plus the DL is too long. Redbox is my way to go now a days.

Can I do the same thing with my Atrai pong video game?

ive downloaded several movies in the past... before i got a ps3 it was the only way I could watch HD movies on my TV. It worked well several times I tried it, and the last time i tried an HD movie it took overnight to download.

I've watched a few regular movies since with no prolbems beyond the initial buffer, though.

I havent had my xbox hooked up at home in a week (set up rockband at the inlaws... playing madden on ps3) so I havent seen the new live. I was really looking forward to Home on ps3, but that looks like a total bust.

How about sports? Do you watch any sports?

What I want to see is if weather or not the new OS or interface (whatever it's called) will allow me to play .avi movies when I link my computer and XBOX with Windows Media Center. Still in the meantime I wonder if Nintendo is preparing a lawsuit as the new avatar's seem remarkebly similar to the ones seen on Wii.

I didn't even know they offered sports
