Just get an Android phone.

I can't wait for this. I really wanna try it out and see how it plays. :)

Yawn! Big deal. You can now post your updates on Facebook so your friends can see that you have no life! Besides, Raptr has been doing this for almost a year. Anyway, I've had the Preview Program on 360 for almost a month so I got Facebook and the rest before the update rolled out and let me tell you. Facebook is WEAK on the 360. The BEST thing you can do is just browse through photos. I admit, looking at hi-res photos on a HDTV screen is pretty sweet other than that, there's no other feature to keep you coming back. Another hitch is that you have to exit the game you are playing completely to use Facebook. You can't do a quick status update mid game or while you're doing something else which kind of brings it down, IMO. I've used it like twice since I got it. Twitter is OK (If you're into Twitter). If you don't have a chatpad though, don't bother because you will get finger cramps. The experience replicates most of the full web version. My favorite among the updates is Last.fm. You can listen to music based on artist recommendation. What's not to like? :)

I'm not gonna criticize the parents or game industry or anything like that. I'm just gonna say that I play xbox live and I usually chat with some of the gamers. I meet lots of people but I met an 11 year old boy. I looked at his profile and his games shocked me. GTA IV, Saints Row, Leisure Larry. I mean, where are his parents? How do you let such a young child into such types of games at such an early stage. This kid has probably been exposed to all kinds of things in this game. In games that glorify sex and violence. It really disturbs as to what children are seeing these days. Sometimes, my younger cousins say things to me that I could never even think about when I was their age. They know so much nowadays. I'm not saying that games are bad or anything. What I'm saying is that parents should learn to protect their children from these kinds of games. I'm very very current. I know lots of technology, games, computers and everything like that. So I'd like to tell parents that think that learning about game ratings, computers, tech and shit like that is not important, IT IS!!! Tech informed parents are likely to know how to protect their children from these things. I don't know but I have an idea whereby, game makers create consoles that are only children friendly such as they don't contain intenet connections like xbox live, ps network etc. The console also works with only games rated E, T etc. Think of it as a type of bundle like those ones for ps3 and 360 like 60 gb, elite, 80 gb etc. You understand? That way, exposure is reduced because no matter how much parental control you put on most of these current systems, most parents are not tech-informed. Most of them don't have the time to set it up or don't even know how. The kids just beg for the system and the parent buys it to make the child happy. Games are also not the problems but other factors. When the kid is a teen, he's also facing lots of other things worse than games like girls, peer pressure, school, looks etc. Those other factors could also play in their lives. It's up to the parents to educate children before they are exposed to all those things. Teach them about the opposite sex when they are younger. I'm not saying they should be graphic but tell teach them how to control their feelings, teach them right from wrong such as what you see in video games, stays in the video game. People don't run around jacking cars and shooting rocket launchers at random helicopters. When I got my xbox, not 360. My parents warned me about meeting people online. I should always stay away from that. They told me the consequences and taught me about real life. Now, I can fend for myself because I know right from wrong. Therefore, parents should work towards that. Instead of blaming your problems on industries, tv and stuff like that, show them the right path and when it's time for them to choose, they'll more than likely do the right thing. Remember: Give a child a fish, and he won't be hungry till dinner. Give a child a fishing rod and he'll never be hungry again.
