Anyone got accepted into this? Basically, it's Microsoft trying to turn your 360 into a mini computer, allowing you to access sites like last.fm, Facebook, and Twitter. The last.fm is pretty cool, but the streaming is rather slow, but maybe that's on my end.

Anyway, thoughts?

Sounds rubbish how about they spend their time doing something everyone wants like upgrading the media player so that it doesn't suck and add .mkv support.

They're lazy, I guess. I mean, the only reason I signed up for it was because I could use last.fm, which is way more useful than FB, and infinitely more useful than Twitter (down with that nonsensical website!)

Nope. I had the chance to sign up and just didn't do it. I can wait until it is good and done (assuming it gets good and/or done).

Hey, where are my avatar awards? They said there'd be awards for playing games (similar to achievements and unlocking gamerpics) in the form of accessories for my avatar.

Shouldn't that be out by now?

I suspect all the cool games were already in development when that was announced.

I believe that was for games released after the announcement. Since I don't own any of those, with the exception of Halo 3: ODST, which doesn't have any awards, I assume it's only going to happen for crap games no one would play otherwise.
