Everyone who signed up for the preview are getting it today so there is a possibility live is going to crash.

I thought the avatars would be interesting but it sounds like they are way too limited.

Yeah I was quite excited until I read your analysis, Hiss.

I don't want a glossy windows look if the functionality has gone to crap. Avatar, shmavatar. I hope they have some decent options for us girls' avatars, 'cos i dont want mine to have no option but to look like a Mii skank-a-lot.

I guess we'll all see tomoz.

It's not terrible, but the excitement of it definitely wears off alot quicker than I thought. Alot of flash, very little substance at this point. But who knows, maybe they've set up the platform for future plans?

Found this article which seems to share all my own observations..

The Good, the Bad and the Only

Now read that and take into account we don't have Netflix, video marketplace or inside Xbox.

I also haven't thankfully seen those ads mentioned on the last page. Looking forward to everyone else getting it so I can finally try party mode. It will probably end up being the single best feature out of all of it.

Not for me, really really hanging out for 16:10 support, sick of having not quite perfect circles, i guess i could have always hooked into TV, but my monitor is in a much better room than my tele's, and i cant fit one in my PC/gaming room.

Not usually. I had to log out and back in on the dash to trigger mine off. Usually loading up a game triggers off the other ones. It won't do it to you mid-game. Or shouldn't do it, at least....

That means if we are in the middle of a game we won't know when it's available. I might just play my ps3 until about 9 when it appears.

Well, considering it just pops up and hassles you like when you update a game, you really don't want that happening while you're playing.

As soon as you pick the ginger hair though, your avatar loses its soul. :ermm:
