all this facebook and twitter junk is useless....the one thing i`d really like to see for my aussie xbox account would be the inside xbox channel that the americans gets, which provides a few short vids each week with either news related to xbox, previews for upcoming games/interviews with developers, tips on getting acheivements and even vids not that realted to xbox but gaming in gerneral.......so why the hell don`t we have that channel???

The same reason Mexico has better internet then us... THE WORLD HATES AUSTRALIA!!!

Nah just kidding. But us Aussies miss out on everything.........

yeah well it just sucks that we get all these crap "updates" when there is actual content that would be worth getting.... i mean i`ve never signed into messenger thru my xbox so i don`t see myself starting with twitter or facebook anytime soon....but maybe thats just me

I really hate the idea of facebook and twitter its all a scam to get more people interested on xbox but its completly pointless A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME!!!

Don't get yourself too worked up about it; if you don't like it, leave it. Simple.

And anyway, Halo: Waypoint will be included in the update; a new source of info on the Halo franchise, videos, updates about the latest Halo installments, a 'spotlight' on gamers and produces alike, and so on.

That's the update i'm looking forward to, and it comes out tonight! (5th of Nov)

Should be fantastic...for all the Halo fans anyway!

The Clave <- Halo Fan

so halo waypoint is basically just a big reading source for halo fans thn or what can you actually do anything on it thn???

I think the update will be good i mean i really dont care about facebook and twitter but the thing im looking forward to is the movies. Zune is coming and its gonna be mad to buy movies and tv shows. About time we get it americans hav had every since the 360 come out SOOO not fair.

NZ4LYFE!! :D by the way we dont get that channel either, obviously. But I tink facebook on xbox live would be awesome! I care since I use it to talk with my mates. Thats pretty cool man I wonder what itll be like on Xbox.

As much as you have a point buckwa, some people would use this (I myself cant wait for facebook, but thats me)
as for people getting worried that its going to clog up the dash, they are run as games / apps from the marketplace so unless you download them, you have nothing to worry about.

Personnally, I probably wont use the facebook and twitter features very much. But I still think its a great idea. It will help boost the community and interaction within that community.

Good on them for thinking about adding features for users. While some people dont think this is a good idea, they should just not use the features.

Chucky110: i never think of normal day to day stuff anyway, i just ignore it and do what i normally do which is whatever

yeah thats great that they are thinking about adding new features to get people on xbox, but are these the people we want on xbox....stauts update *** and half wits on twitter telling me what they had for lunch, but anyway i just don`t see why we can`t have this feature as well or why there hasn`t been any talk of it ever coming to aussie xbox

I kinda like the idea of having facebook and last.fm I dont know what your winging about. " ohhhh why why why cry cry cry". Its useful especially for connecting with mates on your facebook yo had no idea where on xbox live. Stop crying and just enjoy it.

Uh... Last.FM is only available to those in the US and UK. Us Aussies miss out (once again).

The Game Vine:
Great community, live chat and OFF-TOPIC FORUMS!

I would love to see the ability to be able to search youtube etc from the console direct not from a third party program that will eventually get you banned

I actually agree with you on this, similar conversation going on here --->> http://forums.xbox.com/29937353/ShowPost.aspx

Also, I agree that Australia didnt get much in the update but I enjoy Facebook & Twitter however their is no harm in them making the update optional, when they start adding more stuff to our consoles I will actually considering going to E3.
