Anyone besides me in on the "beta?" Granted, it goes public in like a week, but I'm loving it, if only for the improved Netflix experience. I haven't had a chance to try out the party mode yet, but the ability to choose movies on the fly should have been available at day one. But the rest of the controls are great as well. Really, just top notch.

I've got it.

I just applied yesterday. Today, when I got off work it was loading when I logged in.

That Netflix update is great.

Haven't really had too much time to mess around with any other new features yet...

Anything else worth mentioning?

There a netflix update? Now if only netflix would add more movies...

I think games on demand could be sweet. And if they gave you recomendations off of your ratings that would be pretty nice too.

I hate how they are pushing the avatar still.

The Netflix update is included with this set? Nice. They didn't mention it on the Inside XBox live demo of the new features, so I thought it was delayed until the Fall Update when they add Twitter and such.

Hopefully this won't RROD my 360 like the last time I system updated.

Doesn't look like it.

How exactly does the party work?

After you guys mentioned the Beta I got on the list as well. I meant to post that before. I love the netflix update. It made it all worth it. Games on Demand doesn't seem that great unless they add a ton more games at a better cost.

Downloading games still suck though, 'cause of how much memory it takes up. Mass Effect takes more than 6 GB of memory for downloading. I know it doesn't take up that much memory in a disc.

It's all right in the long run, because once you buy the ownership of the title, you can delete it and re-download it again for free; it keeps all of your saved game data separate.
