Well done to the guys over at Xbox Headquarters on your most recent update to the Xbox Gamertag system, thank you for removing all that useless information such as Zone , which many of us use to identify other like minded gamers. 

Thank you also for keeping the rep in place as like all other users I pride myself in having 5 stars and can now feel safe in the knowledge that at least one person, somewhere has told you that I’m a great person. 

I’m also particularly enjoying the new colour scheme, I love how it blends in seamlessly with the rest of the service you have built for me, everyone knows grey and black are the perfect compliment to green white and purple. 

Thank you for removing that hideous Tenure from the end of my name,  do people really need to know how long I’ve been a member? Probably not but I was glad you where able to make use of that now empty space by filling it with a measure of your own E-peen.

Exclusives = terrible idea.
 
most of the other stuff is matter of opinion.

I thought this was sarcasm half the way through..

Did anyonr even usr the zones? These changes seem insignificant.

" I thought this was sarcasm half the way through.. "

A few things. 
1. Those limitations for the country use of hulu and stuff is NOT Microsoft's fault. You can't use it on anything there.  
 
2. Saying that you actually cared about someone's "zone" is a total joke. It's like labeling someone in the simplest sense. If you want to get to know someone's taste in games, GO TO COMPARE ACHIEVEMENTS. Not their "zone".  
 
3. The fact that you're venting about the color scheme of the Xbox brand just goes to show how much of a joke this thread is :\  
 
4. It takes more than one person to affect your Stars. I've tried doing it before to my friends but they don't move. You need a few. 
 
5. You're saying that adding icons that show your affiliations is adding to your e-peen, yet you say nothing about Gamerscore. Brilliant.
 
In all reality I don't know if this is just bad sarcasm, or stupidity.

It's not Microsoft's fault you can't use Hulu on your xbox, it's not available on any platform in the UK (which I'll assume you are part of since you mentioned sky player) because the rights to the shows are held by different people over here. Considering sky makes you pay for all of it's services I don't know why you would expect it to be free on the xbox, again that wouldn't be Microsoft's fault either because they don't have any control over what Sky wants to charge you for stuff.
 
The rest of your points are valid (though personally I couldn't care less about what my gamercard looks like)

Your post annoys me. 
 
That said though, I personally couldn't care much less about these changes. I in fact love the ESPN app as well as the Zune app. Stop complaining! :P

i dont get ESPN and the Zube service is incredibly limited in the UK, hence my complaint. "

 
Sorry but Xbox Live is a fantastic service. It's not perfect, there's a lot of stuff that isn't my cup of tea (and I appreciate that some people still have a chip on their shoulder about paying a fee for it) but there are far more important things to get worked up about. I switch it on and it works to a consistently high standard - the rest is incidental.

I you think the OP is being sarcastic the whole time through, it becomes a much better open letter.

"Keep up the good work and remember that DLC I got a month earlier than other consoles is much better than Exclusive games."
 
Of course it's sarcastic.. ¨<

I am a fan of this thread.

nice post man. i didn't really know if this was sarcasm or not but lol. it's not microsoft's fault that you don't get hulu or ESPN. i don't even want to use those services. i have a computer for those things, that are free on.

Hold up, you're complaining that they removed Zones?  
 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
