For those who don't want to waste their time watching the video, here's the lowdown:

* Windows Live Messenger interoperability:
o Add up to 600 Windows Live Messenger contacts to your Xbox Live's Friends List.
o Basic text chat functionality with Windows Live Messenger users. Audio and video might be in the works.
o You'll be able to chat with up to 6 friends online while playing games or watching movies.
o Your Windows Live Messenger contacts will know which games you are playing, as well as your gamertag.
o You'll see your Friends status, whether they are playing a game on Online on Windows Live Messenger.

* Xbox Live Marketplace:
o Xbox Live Marketplace will now have its own blade.
o The XBL Marketplace blade can have its own skin, independent of the dashboard's theme.
o The XBL Marketplace blade will change looks depending on such events such a season, a holiday, etc.

* Achievements:
o When you unlock a new achievement, the pop up will show which Achievement you got and how many points you earned.

* Downloads:
o Auto-shutdown: When enabled, it turns off your console after 6 hours on inactivity or after all the items in the queue were downloaded.
o Low-power downloading mode: it turns off all your fans when you leave the console downloading content.
o View partially downloaded movies: self explanatory; you can view parts of a movie that have been downloaded.

I found this off another site.

Did this get pushed back or something? I was on pretty late last night and still didn't get it.

I have read that it was pushed back. I don't know when right now, I am thinking it will be soon.

Do you play Gears' multiplayer? I have been playing that a lot. We should all get together and play one night. All of us. I just don't have the new maps. Microsoft has enough of my money to make them happy right now.

I don't have the new multiplayer maps either and I have only played online a couple of times. I am not the best but I am down.

Double Dragon is the new arcade download, too. I was hoping for Double Dragon/Battle Toads, but this will do.
