Hopefully Movie Marketplace comes to UK, more codecs would be nice too. Speeding up the UI etc along the way too.

Yeah, that has to be one of the updates. Microsoft did say they were planning to get the Video Marketplace to people outside of the US by the end of 2007. Sadly, the prices are a rip-off to rent a movie. For a HD movie, the prices can go up to 480MSP, which is $6/?3. You could rent it over here for less at Blockbuster, you get a physical copy of the disc instead of an online download, and you can get more, if you catch my drift. :ninjapirate:: Well, at least you get to keep the TV shows. If they bring TNA iMPACT! to the European marketplace, I'm sold!

i'd like to see hotkeys for music setup. it can be similar to a shift button.

for example, hitting back + a at the same time would pause/play music.

Back + B = Next Song

Back + X = Previous Song

Maybe even hotkeys for certain functions like friends list.

And the ability to change/disable the keys too would be nice in case there is ever a game that uses the button combinations.

I just want divx/xvid playback. That would make my life a hell of a lot easier.

+1 ive stated previously even if I have to pay $10 or whatever to cover the cost of providing Divx I would do it.... I love my xbmc but i see no reason why my 360 cant playback divx files... other than that.. i require nothing from the fall update

Group chat is top of my wish list. I want to be able to have at least 5 people all in the same little chat!

the only way they would add group chat would be for the dashboard only...it would be to easy to ghost in games like Gears of War if you could have your entire team in a group chat

M$ really needs to enable 16:10 support. I hope they do because its been almost two years now since most of us have been requesting it although the demand has increased significantly from what it was when 360 was launched. DivX codec would be good but i can use xvid codecs easily through wmc. (ffdshow ftw)

Yeah but that thought ignores one thing, some of us game to have fun. It's like Microsoft ignores group chat just to cater to people that are obsessed with winning. I never play the public. And I want group chat. I could care less if people ghost in Gears. All I can say is that Microsoft should have coded private chat groups, and set it disabled as soon as a ranked game starts. For all the custom games I play with friends, it's annoying that we can't all talk together. And they need to swallow their pride and make a 360 web browser too.

4-6 player group chat is a must imo. When you're trying to link up with friends it can be a pain knowing what everyone is doing and letting others know if something's going wrong etc. Maybe just limit it to 4 players as if there's more than that it could eat up bandwidth, unless a push-to-talk key can be configured.

DivX/ XviD Support & im totally sold , i need to get rid of my Halo 2 edition Special Blue Xbox

would be great. I'm hating the fact I need a 3rd party program running to play xvid/divx through my 360 from my home premium desktop. It plays everything well, but the closest distance between two points is a straight line.

Well, there's screenshots/a video of clan support going around, which is good. 360 needs universal clan support, I just hope they're not silly with it and charge for things left and right. Almost every aspect of the clan can be edited. The shots from the beginning of summer-ish.

Sorry for the big image. Hopefully clan support = clan match for Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4.

I'm still REALLY hoping for DivX support like everyone else. I also think a faster dashboard is really needed at this point, I don't know what keeps it so slow, but it seems like they could do something.

it can if you have a program such as tversity. or transcode 360 on your desktop on the same network but not natively

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I must admit, this is probably the only game at the moment where I can see that $80 price point being ok. The issue will be when other developers think they can get away with it with half of the work.
    • Google Wallet expands TSA PreCheck Touchless ID access to more travellers

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Google Wallet expands TSA PreCheck Touchless ID access to more travellers by Fiza Ali Google has announced that Google Wallet is becoming the first digital wallet to integrate with TSA PreCheck Touchless ID. It is a programme that lets eligible travellers move through participating airport security checkpoints using facial recognition instead of showing a physical ID or boarding pass. While the TSA PreCheck Touchless ID programme has been available for some time, using it hasn't always been straightforward. The programme currently operates at 65 airports across the US, but participation has largely depended on flying with a limited number of airlines. Travellers also had to upload passport information separately through participating carriers. Now, the tech giant's new integration is designed to remove some of those extra steps. With the update rolling out in the coming weeks, travellers with TSA PreCheck membership will be able to enrol in Touchless ID through Google Wallet and use the service with any of the 100 airlines participating in the programme. Rather than repeatedly submitting identification details, users can store a digital ID in Google Wallet and use it to streamline future trips. Setting up the feature is relatively straightforward as well. The process starts with users creating a digital ID in Google Wallet using their passport information. After checking in for a flight and saving a boarding pass to the app, eligible travellers will see a "Get started" option that directs them to the TSA enrolment process. Once users choose to share their ID pass and boarding pass information with the TSA for a specific trip, the agency will verify the enrolment. If approved, a TSA PreCheck Touchless ID indicator will appear on the boarding pass stored in Google Wallet, signalling that the traveller can use designated express Touchless ID lanes at participating airports. As privacy and security are likely to be key considerations for many travellers, Google says users must explicitly opt in before any information is shared with the TSA, and authentication is required through a device PIN, pattern, or biometric verification. The company also notes that digital IDs stored in Google Wallet remain encrypted and are kept on the user's device. For frequent flyers who already use TSA PreCheck, the new integration could remove a few more steps from the airport security process, making travel slightly faster and a little less cumbersome.

      Even though MS had to sunset the Windows Subsystem for Android, you can apparently use BlueStacks to run Android in Windows now. I haven't tested this yet, so if anyone has any feedback, I'd love to hear it.
