I don't even use the Miis except to churn out celebrities and historical figures, so I might end up creating James Bond and putting a tuxedo on him so that I can use that. I like the Netflix functionality, but the selection is kind of lacking. There aren't a lot of top tier movies that can be watched. Then again, I like to rent the physical copy so that I can watch the extra content. With the exception of things like hats, the avatars are almost exactly like Miis.

That's one feature I didn't write about that's pretty cool. You can just queue up stuff over the web and when you turn on your console it'll just download your queue.

Just downloading a free gamerpic and theme are a pain since the menu has to reload between downloads, which makes the slow load times for marketplace menus worse.

In general I'll install the game before playing it and after I've finished I'll delete it and free up the space. Of the games I own, only PGR4 had any issues with the HD install, but everything else I played benefited from it. Hehe, no, I don't NEED to install every game, but I could if I wanted to.

And some of the game there isn't any point of innstalling since the loading time is longer. You don't really need to install EVERY game though, you do get tired of some games don't you?

Space isn't that big of an issue for me at this point. I wonder though if MS is going to release an even bigger drive no though, I can definately fill my HD if I were to install every game I own.

Then again, if it's easy, then it shouldn't be hated at all. But adding a feature to turn it off should be added. NetFlix, this is something I would love to have on my PS3, but I have other ways to get my videos anyways :P Game installs, take to much space, other then that it's a great feature, but for people playing a lot of games at the time, good luck picking the games you want to load faster. : ) The Avatars, I think it's a great idea in general, but forcing people to make one isn't the smartest way to do it.
