An Xbox 360 system update? Oh sweet, I wonder what it does? I hope it adds th--wait, it's just meant to prep our consoles for the impending Facebook/Twitter/Last.FM update. False alarm, everybody.
Here's a little bit of advice based on something I experienced earlier today: when you boot up your 360, don't ignore the update message that appears on your screen and instead proceed to insert a game. I did this with DiRT 2, and the update froze and wouldn't let me cancel.
Since it clearly says "do not turn off your Xbox 360," I figured my console was going to explode if I did. Although that would have made for a better story, I can't say that it did blow up, unless I was a liar. Actually, my system did explode, and a flying shard of plastic stabbed my neck.
Just another day at the office.

No streaming from what I've heard so far.
Yep. Soon we'll be as prepped as a virgin on prom night.

Vedicardi2: I don't know why you'd want Last.fm by itself on your 360, but if they could use it for a feature like the APB guys were showing off at PAX (basically you can play your local music and it'll use Last.fm to play that song for other players or substitute a song with similar "flavor" if it isn't available) that would be very cool.
It's going to be pretty funny in a couple of years when Twitter and Facebook have been replaced by the next social networking craze and all of these games and systems have integration for them. It'll be almost as sad as the people still using MySpace.
