Got accepted into the latest preview program, about to test it out right now.

The update is sweet.

Facebook is great, very well done.

Twitter. Eh, it does the job. You can only see the last 50 tweets, but you can see all of the @ tweets to yourself. No links or twitpics can be viewed and it's not super user friendly. Also, why is it buried on the my community page?

Last.FM ROCKS. Best addition easily. Just wish you could play the music outside of the app, but other than that, it's perfect.

Zune marketplace..wow. Everything streams unless you buy the movie to own. I didn't try 1080p movies, as nothing I wanted to rent, but very nice service.

MSNBC videos. Again, very buried, but cool. Updates pretty regularly.

Those are the main updates. The Halo update is next week. Overall, I'm very impressed.

Last.FM is crazy, I didn't know they had all those people on it. I put the most obscure guys I could think of and they had songs plus pictures.

Can you stream last.fm while playing games or no? It would be cool if there was somehow you could scrobble what songs you were playing in game (ie: Rock Band or game track lists such as Brutal Legend and GTA) on your last.fm play.

Fresh, I think Extreme said you cannot stream last.fmout of the app.

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

No, you can't use last.fm in the background, unfortunately.

Did you sign up for it?

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

Where do you sign up for it?

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

Nah, I didn't sign up for it. So this is like a test and certain people are getting a preview before it's released to the masses?

Yeah.

They locked it so people can't sign up anymore.

Darn. Hopefully whatever feedback they get will suggest to allow it to stream in the background. That would be pretty sweet.

maybe if you're not playing anything online it might work, but i doubt it would be possible if you're playing multiplayer since you can't even keep downloading demos/games/whatnot while in an online game.
