Pretty much anything I could get to in the dashboard, I can get to quicker in this one after navigating it for a few hours. The speed of everything, with no second delays when pressing the guide and such is just a godsend. And having big graphical indications of what I'm looking at is much more intuitive than a list of literally hundreds of items. The dashboard had outgrown itself, not being designed to cope with so many online items. For example getting to Rock Band DLC in the old dashboard would mean going through a few sub-menu's to get to a list of games, the scrolling down for 10 second to get to Rock Band (and probably scrolling past it) then navigating down a menu of over 300 songs. The way they have it now is so much quicker. And they essentially have the old dashboard as the new guide button anyway.

you seriously used the marketplace to download rockbandstuff?
I always used the ingame menu, because I was able to listen to the previews, and there was a nice sorting option. One thing I REALLY wanted to be fixed, was fixed finally. Scrolling description on xboxlive with the right analog stick. I mean seriously, how can you NOT implement that funtion i the first place?

Rock Band was just an example, it applies to any downloadable item for any game but I do use it a lot of I'm downloading a lot of songs because you can queue them up. Every time I try to go back in the in-game shop it cancels the download.

Having just made my first party, party mode is awesome.

I just completed Resistance 2 (U.S. import), overall I was pretty disappointed with the game, it never felt epic at all for me and there was a lot of graphical glitches too I hope Gears of War 2 is a lot better ?

I can't comment on Resistance 2 because I haven't played it, but from what I've gathered the campaign is pretty underwhelming. I and most reviewers found Gears 2 to be very epic, but it depends on your expectations. Have you played the first Gears? If so, imagine it 10x the scale with much more environment variety, much larger battles and much larger enemies. I think Gears 2 is one of the biggest scale leaps I've seen on a sequel on a same generation system. I mean the gameplay mechanics are pretty much the same, but everything else is so much more epic.

The new xbox screen is pretty neat, too bad all the themes cost money.

The great thing to come from this is that I discovered Tversity and can now watch most of my videos on the tv.

There are 4 premium themes that come free with it. 3 of them are pretty bland, but the "Night" theme is pretty nice!
