First of all...why?

And if Microsoft must polute our 360's with this inane garbage couldn't they just release a browser so they can be accessed from one app?
 
You dont need to install it though its optional.

Appears in the new Community section of the dash regardless though, doesn't it?

I don't mind it, but they are pretty pointless considering the 360 can't access any links posted by people.

IIRC there is a Facebook update for the PS3 tomorrow, maybe that will allow access to links through the web browser?
 
The integration of Twitter and especially Facebook just highlight the need for and lack of a browser on the 360. I'm all for additional services, but I wish they would add the one that everyone wants which is the browser. Last.fm however, is a brilliant addition.
 
Wish they'd just give up on stuff like this tbh. The 360 is useless as a video playback machine, I know given I used it for years - support from MS regarding media sharing is absolutely scant and the thing needs better codec support for starters.

As a heavy twitter user I gave the 360 version a go but can't see me ever using it as I use the console soley for these things called GAMES.
 
Is the Zune Video store new ?, I was streaming some HD trailers with Dolby Digital earlier today, pretty awesome tbh, worked really, so is the HD streaming just for the trailers or can you stream a whole movie like that ?

My understanding is the whole point is to be able to stream the whole movie. Unfortunately my connection isn't good enough :mad:.
 
incase anyone missed its there's a 4 minute 1080p dolby digital preview of james camerons avatar on the zune marketplace.

Which you can only stream, not download. If your connection isn't good enough, tough :(.

(Can you tell my connection annoys me? :mad::o:p)
 
I can't stand all this twitter and facebook rubbish. If they are not releasing a browser, how about a YouTube App? That atleast would be worth while!!
 
Very impressed by the Last.fm addon Cant see myself using twitter and facebook often though.

Agree with Youtube that would be really cool! :)
