Wish-list of features to be included in the next Xbox 360 Dashboard update

Another one: better DVD upscaling. We recently switched from using the PS3 for DVD playing to the 360's HD-DVD drive. Why? I was tired of always yanking out DVDs from my PS3 when I wanted to play games, and I was willing to pay $40 for the privilege. This is working out nicely, but the 360's upscaling is not nearly as nice as what the PS3 provides. "Mediocre" is the best I can say for it, and I know the 360 has the processing power to do much better. I don't expect Oppo 983H-esque results, but "reasonably close to the PS3" is a good place to aim.

That's completely the opposite from my experience. My 360 upscales movie fantastically, whereas my PS3 did a very crappy job of it.

Nope. When I try that I get the message: "This payment option cannot be removed at this time. Please contact Xbox LIVE Customer Support."

What is that supposed to mean?!

This may be an obvious question, but have you contacted Xbox LIVE Customer Support?

Well, the fact that you have to call customer support to have a CC removed is pretty absurd.

I thought of a new feature for gold members, online save game backups. I ended up buying a mem card so I don't lose all of my saved games if my drive fails.

Ya know, this is a great idea.

and I wish they would give us an option to specify which age groups we would like to play with. Maybe like on a slider scale. For instance say I could set it so I never play with people that are younger than age 16.

Yeah, nothing like getting called an Nbomb by someone who's voice hasn't even changed yet.

well saying as I just got the chat pad and started using MSN on my xbox the only thing that I get up from it to do is browse the web for FAQs and strategies.

it really clicked "wow I have a kb, controller, internet, all this but no web browser"

Good idea, it would be sweet if you could access it in game as well.

that would be very useful! especially if you got more than one xbox! I would also like to see some online multiplayer support for silver members. Maybe if a game is more than 1½ or 2 years old you can play it online with limitations to some game modes with just a silver subscription. That would be nice and probably make more people buy gold memberships as well.

I want the "what I'm listening to" feature from Windows live messenger in XBL

I wish it wouldn't lock up for 10 or 20 seconds sometimes.

Add support for swedish letters on swedish keyboards.

oh, and every time when I exit to the dashboard after playing a installed game from the hard drive the disc drive starts spinning like crazy for like 5 sec. That is just unnecessary and annoying, why does it even do that?

And make it so that the guide doesn't freeze when I'm trying to send an invite to a friend

It's also ridiculous that you cant preview themes before you buy them. So we should just assume that the theme is what I want and just pay 250 points for a thing that I don't even know how it looks?
