I am very interested in how they will impliment Facebook into XBL. Odds are it will be very difficult to make it work to the potential it is best at.
 
I always have facebook open on one of my duel screens, but my computer is upstairs. my 360 is on our projector in the basement, so I cant really do both at the same time. With facebook on the Xbox, I can be on...all the time...haha
 
Sorry but none of the items listed here are worth having my 360 using up electricity for...
