The top most gimmick is the upcoming update integrating Windows Live Messenger with the Xbox360 friends list.

The big news we are integrating instant messaging to live. You can instant messenger to the Xbox from anywhere in the messenger family.

The new feature will come for free to Silver and Gold users and will allow users to have six instant message conversations at a time, each with multiple contacts. The message boxes will appear as an opaque box quite similar to standard game messaging on the console.

Your current contacts from Live Messenger will also be added to your Xbox360 console letting you know that if your friends are on a PC or console.

The update will be available on May 7th this year. Till then keep your fingers crossed!
