No no no .... he wants it to be a computer. But, don't I already own a computer that does all of this better then my XBOX360 ever would?
All this stuff would be neat little bonuses if they were free, but I would probably have to pay for every little thing. Just give me some games and I'm happy.
I wish they could somehow take the time, money, and energy spent creating 1,000 shitty XBLA titles and funnel them into 10 great ones. But that'll never happen.

i want more useful apps available in my living room without having a keyboard and mouse on my coffee table, or an ugly piece of hardware on my entertainment system.
@Galagabug: You can get a $500 laptop which will do everything you listed here, and allow you to relax comfortably on your couch in front of your TV while doing it all, and that will look good sitting on your coffe table, and that will not have to be replaced at least once every year. ;-)
Seriously though, do you know how horrible twitter and facebook will look on a large TV which shitty 1080i resolution? While I applaud your desire to see Youtube and Hulu added to NXE, lets keep the other internet apps on the PC and Mac where they belong.

@silverdragon - not full facebook, just functionality, to interact with the wall and merge your friends list. i'm not looking for full experiences, rather streamlined experiences that cater to the strenghts of xbox live...
imagine linking your facebook account to your gamertag, loading up live, and it suggesting people you may know, showing thier email and gamertag, and one button friend intives.
i'm not looking to replace the PC, rather enrich the features available from my xbox.

Honestly, Sadistic's comment is the first thing I thought of. Immediately. I'm a little surprised that the company that created Internet Explorer is the only company that doesn't have a web browser built into its console.
Honestly, I don't like the NXE. I was a much bigger fan of the blades. I like how much better the system runs now, but it's just a PS3 and a Wii slapped together that doesn't do the features as well as the other two separately. But it's all preference.

1.) FREE Avatar gladiator combat.
2.) A living room where you can invite friends to sit down and watch any video you have in your library. (if I can buy a DVD and invite friends to my IRL living room to watch it, I should be able to invite friends to my VR living room to watch a movie with no copyright infringement.)
3.) Be able to invite friends to watch the games I am playing.

@richard - your on the right track. i really like the movie idea, tho i don't think its possible with a physical dvd. the reason XBL works so well is that there are dedicated servers in place. for you to host a movie lounge, there would either need to be space to host movies on their servers, which with dvd quality video and audio would be costly, not to mention delay the start time of your movie. if you were to host, there are too many variables to ensure a consistent experience. not to mention that streaming true dvd quality video is tricky to come by even on the most well maintained servers, like hulu. you could do movie night now with your friends by creating a party and firing up the same netflix, but actually hosting movie nights (for people who don't own netflix) would definitely be cool.
ps3 lets you listen to pandora while you play games?
nope.
i can use my eye toy to upload videos to youtube straight from the ps3?
nope.
ps3 will locate which of my facebook friends have psn accounts and suggest i add them?
nope.
this isn't an I WANT INNERNETS ON MY CONSOLE post. this is a i want a richer online gaming experience post.

@ Galagabug
Yeah, I know it wouldn't be feasable if you just inserted a dvd in the tray. But you could upload movies from your Xbox HD to some kind of streaming server, wait for them to buffer and watch it at the same time as your friends.
I would also like some kind of "dry erase board" for your party to plan out strategies for games that you are playing or about to play.

they did have video sharing in the cards at one point. It was for all videos, both XBL and self sourced on an external drive. I suspect it'll never reappear again much like how it's not in Home now either.
Frankly, I wouldn't want any of these features. I already get a decent streaming music selection from my mac. I can load up any audio stream into my playlists and go from there. The only difference is that this is preset by me, as opposed to Pandora.
The big reason why you won't see a Pandora is due to licensing costs burdened by Pandora. YouTube, I see no need for. I only ever use it for music videos on my iPhone, and frankly if there were a dedicated application that did JUST that on my phone, I would've only needed YouTube on 2-3 occasions outside of those circumstances.
There's also the fact that all these would rely on non-MS services. MS isn't the biggest fan of paying for someone else's content on their service. Rather than adopt standards from other companies, MS would rather foist their own on you.
Hence: Zune, PlaysForSure, Silverlight, Live Search Maps, Live Search, MS-DOS, et al .
