I'm not really that upset.

You know what I'd like to see? Make these clients optional, the way Home is an optional download. You can update the console, but have the option NOT to install Twitter and Co.

Please, Microsoft?

Why does everyone think these will be mandatory? I'm pretty sure that they will be optional downloads just like Netflix, 1 vs. 100, and the Photo Sharing Party app...

I wish Avatars were optional.
I wish that we could design our own Themes, instead of downloading one that is almost certain to suck.
I preferred the 360 back when the was none of this 'Let's try to attract the Wii audience' business.

@CouchPotato99

Because everyone looks at the negatives before the positives. A few years ago I was passing out energy drinks. At the stand I placed out about 20 plastic cups lined up for anyone to grab. An hour into my shift this 500 lb fat ass rolled in on a scooter with a full bag of McDonalds in the trey asking if the drinks were free. I answered "yes". This tub-o-titty sat by me for the next 30 minutes stuffing his face with 5 double cheeseburgers, 2 big macs, 1 quarter pounder and 2 supersize fries then decided to drain it down with 3 energy drinks.

Midway through the last energy drink he asks me whats in the cup and I tell him "____ it's a energy drink". The guys eyes gets wide and he tells me he has high-blood pressure and out of nowhere the guy crashes to the ground and shaking uncontrollably. Eventually he stopped because he passed out and shit himself...

Now I lost the moral of the story... But it's in there somewhere...

The Sky Player is meant to be coming to the UK before the end of October. They've been showing adverts for it and it was mentioned in the Sky Magazine. Facebook and Twitter might arrive with the Sky Player update.

If they do anything like AT&T with the MMS for iPhone and said "Summer 2009" and ended up being 4 days AFTER Summer was officially over then we can expect it around Christmas....

Microsoft, please make it possible to customize the Xbox Dashboard. I don't want to see your damn advertisements on the main menu of my console. I just want My Xbox, Friends, Netflix, and Game Marketplace tabs. That's all.

But...but...how will people know how terrible I feel without the Facebook add-on??

I lovez me some Twitter, but has anyone else noticed just how much of a pity-party of Hypochondria Facebook has become lately?

"________ is sick."
"________ my neck hurts. Anybody got any meds?"
"________ Doesn't feel like going to work today!"


It just scares me that now this sort of twattery will now be available on the 360. Or...maybe I just need new FB friends who post more funny/cool stuff. Or maybe I just need to avoid Facebook.

What's that? "Go outside"?? Ha, good one.

Ugh. Can you stop with the stilted jokes in these posts and just tell us what's happening? It would be nice to not have to skim through them for actual information for once, and this seems to be getting worse, not better. If I want comedy, I'll go elsewhere.

Ack, my comment above was in response to Hithere's comment. Read the subject line, move on. It's that easy.

You've got it backwards. If you just want news, you can go practically anywhere fucking else.

I come to Joystiq for writing like this.

So, outside certain countries you have to pay for Last.fm. How is that going to work for the Xbox version?

I still don't see the point of having Twitter like it is, why not make them pop up like notifications so you can play and get Twitter feeds at the same time?
