Only fooled around with it briefly but I'm loving the new dashboard.
Can't wait to see how these community games are.

My biggest problem so far is having wired internet. I can't be connected to my computer and my Xbox at the same time, so it's not letting me activate the Instant Movies on Netflix. Love the Avatars, and A Kingdom for Keflings is pretty fun.

This is just a funny tidbit but according to the Rock Band music store, Kickstart My Heart by Motley Crue came out in 1969!

Netflix is AWESOME! Some details:
-Took me awhile to download but only because I live in the hills of my campus.
-You get a two week trial for signing up.
-Pretty good variety of movies despite Sony's move last night of blocking their movies on the 360.
-If you get disconnected because you're in a bad location (like me), it'll adjust the playback to make it run more smoothly.

Some other observations: -There are three games currently that let you use your avatar in them: Uno, Heartwood Hearts, and the new game (which currently is unavailable to download at the moment.)
-Uno update is more then just avatars. The background has been polished up and there is now a faint clicking now that appears when it's your turn. In addition, there will be a Super Street Fighter theme deck coming out in mid-December.
-Speaking of Super Street Fighter, the HD remix is out next week along (most likely) with Banjo-Kazooie.
-Marketplace is SO SLOW right now! Guess that's to be expected today.
Anyone want to have a party tonight? I'll be available after 3:30 with the possible exception of going to the local mall (My Naruto: The Broken Bond game I pre-ordered should be in today.)

Party sounds good.
The new game is pretty interesting. You're a giant trying to establish a town among regular-sezied peons.

The dashboard is good. I don't like avatar selections.
Holy crap! I find the friends list unruly with just 51 friends. I can't imagine what it will be like with 100.

I'll have to try UNO tonight with the avatars. What happens to our gamerpics now?

It seems to take a little time getting used to the changes.
Hopefully they can fix the problem on the Marketplace...

Oh, and on xbox.com, you can schedule all your downloads from xbox live marketplace, so they start downloading when you get home, and turn on your xbox.

My avatar needs more black clothes (well, all black clothing, preferably including a knee-length coat) to look realistic.

my avatar looks absolutely nothing like me: I mean I look like a cowboy or something, plus I couldn't find the correct mustache.
