I downloaded the new Xbox Live update for the Xbox 360 last night, and so far, aside from the Xbox Marketplace getting a new, easy to find, section, the only other feature that leaps out is the integration between Xbox Live and MSN Messenger.
It’s fairly neat and allows me to see what my friends are playing and message them without making the trip to Xbox.com, but I won’t be turning it on. When I’ve got a game organised, the last thing I want is a stream of normally tedious messages asking me how I’m doing, asking my a/s/l, or offering me some smilies to download.
I also downloaded Forza Motorsport 2. Looks ok, but not too sure about the car handling model in the new game. On the bright side, downloadable demos still get me excited about the Xbox Live service, even after a good 12-18 months.
