Concerning the recent updates:

Microsoft has announced that not only are they adding more options to Marketplace but also trying to increase bandwith on servers to allow larger muliplayer sessions (ex: 24-32 player online like Wii and PS3).

the new marketplace additions will include more TV shows, Zune Music Library, and also the ability to download regular Xbox games to your HDD.

hey, whether or not the reg xbox thing works out, whatever, but im excited for the fact that they want to stabilize and increase server sizes to play some big ol matches.

Medal Of Honor: Heroes 2 launches on the Wii Nov 19. with 32 Player Online. thats sayin something. plus you get the new Blaster attachment for the remote to use haha.

Update 2:

Since the dashboard is being reinvented once again, we will have Avatars, Netflix, and 8-Person Private Chat to look forward to. If anyone g ets more details on the release and such, please post the articles here.

Newer updates in the mix. Party Watch Netflix, 8 person Video Chat, Twitter, Facebook, Avatar Clothes Creator, and of course Project Natal.
