There's been a new update and Street Fighter Anniversary has finally been added. No Capcom Vs SNK 2 though. Couple other fighters such as KoF Neowave and 02/03, and Guilty Gear were added as well, plus some other titles like Jet Set Radio.

Also Windows LIVE messenger is coming in May sometime and Microsoft plans on releasing a QWERTY keyboard accessory. I'm not sure if this just a lame controller with mini keyboard built in or a full sized USB keyboard.

Think this will open up the door for a mouse and browser as well?

Gamestop is offering $250 dollar trade in value for your 360 premiums when the elites go on sale on April 29... so I might pick up a 360 elite...

Have they finally added a browser yet? I sold my 360 when i moved up here to Florida 2 months ago, and was thinking on picking up the 'elite' edition when it comes out.

If your asking about a internet browser than no they have not added one.

How lame. They need a browser in their ASAP. You'd figure MS, a company which has a dominant share in the market already with their own browser, would include one in the 360 as well.

Same reason why they will not release a keyboard and mouse for the 360... they do not want to infringe on their own sales... when people buy a PC to browse the internet and a 360 to play games offline and online. This is your typical generic person who knows nothing about computers ;)

Nice update! Now if they can just include Capcom vs SNK 2, I won't need my original XBox at all anymore. CvS 2 is the main game I play on my XBox. I love that game!!

Most people use arcade sticks, but with the 360 the DOA4 stick is the only option, other than custom made ones.

I can't understand how that could be a reason. If people just wanted something for the internet, a Windows 95 machine will work for that. They're secretly pushing the 360 as the center for your home entertainment, from VOIP, instant messaging, video conferencing, PVR functioning, movie and TV downloads, gaming, etc.

Yeah, let me tell you, I HATE the S controllers. I NEED a six button configuration, that is why I LOVE the original XBox controller. That's my MAIN controller for CvS 2. But I also have two of these which I'll convert when I get a 360.
