You do it on Xbox.com or you can do it from the dashboard iirc

I found it here: http://live.xbox.com/en-GB/accounts/friendsoffriends.aspx if anyone else needs it, although the service is unavailable at the moment.

Any idea if there are options in there to remove credit card details from XBL or do I have to jump through hoops to do that?

It updated mine a few hours ago.
Be aware there is a bug. If you try to change your name it will delete your stats & settings on the forum. Summit like that anyways.

oh dear. please tell me theres an option to turn all this extra and useless crap off?

The dashboard is now worse than the playstations.

I am pleasently surprised at how good SD DivX files look on my HDTV, much better than playing them through the PC for some reason.

been waiting for this but sadly i don't think it'll ever happen, they even take your sub money if your card has run out which i thought was illegal?

What extra and useless crap? To be honest the dash hasn't really changed much.

I fail to see how the blades have suddenly become the XMB.

I thought it was as this happened to me 2 or 3 years ago.

Apparently it's NOT illegal (even if your card changes) because XBL class this as an "Ongoing Transaction" with your bank, which, is perfectly legal.

Stinks I know, but only way out of it is to inform XBL in writing AND your bank to say it's an unauthorised payment if they try and charge.

woooooooo hooooooooooo, works fine, streaming my latest divx videos over the network from my XP system, man I was confused for ages on why I couldn't browse my PC on the videos section, then I noticed the 'Change Video Source' button at the bottom, I'm using the old Media Connect 2 software from M$ to browse files on my 360, much better than media player 11, they don't have on it their site anymore but it is available to download here, http://files.filefront.com/Windows+Media+Connect+20+English/;5479102;/fileinfo.html

That's right, any ongoing transaction is the same unless you actually cancel the subscription they can still take the money even if you have cancelled or changed cards.
