...it's all good. 
 
But seriously, my guess is that when the "project natal" stuff happens, that's when you'll see a new dashboard, new web-browsing funcitons, and then all of this stuff will come together.  As for now it all seems like it's happening so they can put that stuff on the front of the box as a bullet point. 
 
Also, my understanding of Zune, is that MS is moving the brand to a more "software" state.  The software will be coming to other devices like Windows 7 Mobile, and probably even the iPhone.  Imagine Zune Pass on iPhone.  iTunes would become obsolete.  So, seeing it come to Xbox is probably just the beginning of "Zune App" technology. 

...well only if it had online and acheivements and real games and maybe a squircle analog nub and a button or two....hmmm.

I still got Burnout Paradise in shrink wrap. Guess I'll wait for the new DLC (although I said that at the last DLC release).  And I'm still getting my Gears on.  Don't think I'll buy any games for a while. (Also, I just got back into R6V2...again).

I think it sucks they had to rebuild the game after the Unreal Engine failed them.  I would have love to support the game by purchasing, but it just doesn't seem good enough for me.
