Live Update Testing - anyone else?

[Neil_H]

I signed up to the Live Update test earlier this week and get an email through today saying I've been accepted. This means you get to use Facebook, Twitter and all that bks, first. I'll be downloading the update later.

Anyone else doing it?

The sign-up page is http://www.xbox.com/xboxliveupdate (IIRC)

Got my email this morning, just waiting for the update now. Tbh I don't think it'll help my experience because I got annoyed with my messenger contacts wanting to chat when I was playing games. But it's new, do I'll give it a go.

Works really well. Facebook is almost better than on the PC - great way to share photos on full screen. And having never tried Last FM on the PC, I found myself rediscovering music for a couple of hours the other night.

Really looking forward for the last.fm part though

Gave all the new features a go at the weekend, Last.fm is excellent, Facebook pretty good (could see it being good when your Facebook friend list is integrated with your XBL friends). I'm not sure about Zune, doesn't seem to be much different to the old video marketplace apart from having video parties, and I'm not sure what use this is.

You can turn off the sign in to this mate

Yep, done that already.
