The Avatar is cool, but I like having the Netflix the most, even if I haven't gotten my free trial running yet...

The avatar doesn't have much use though, and the party isn't as useful as they advertised it to be

Well I installed it, and I already hate the Avatars. Not enough options in some things, too many in others.

Installing games is my first pick. Love that and the new Xbox button menu system that makes it a lot easier to access everything.

Games load fast with the install feature.

I love being able to install games to the hard drive and make the 360 relatively quiet.

I really like the whole thing, but if I had to pick it would be the Avatars.

Netflix is cool, I've got a friend who let me use his subscription. Only problem is this rather limited selection.

Since I use my box as a media center as well, one thing that's bothered me since the update is that when I try to rewind, skip, or fast forward on an avi, it jacks up the whole codec. I have to redownload the media update.

I'm very disappointed by the update. Avatars are stupid. And though the netflix *streaming* is flawless, Its frustrating having to go on netflix.com to select which movie I want to watch on my 360. Playing music from a flash drive is now even slower and more frustrating then ever. They didn't add anything to take advantage of the Chat pad. The Marketplace is a disaster.

Unfortunately once you push the 360 to load objects and textures from the GTA4 installation it fails miserably.
