Xbox 360 fall update brings joy to good little boys and girls

Xbox 360 fanboys people will be overjoyed to learn that all sorts of creamy goodness is coming their way with the fall console update, including:

• Play from the hard drive - copy your games directly to the hard drive to speed them up.
• Xbox Live Marketplace access from a regular interneted computer.
• Dashboard update makes game access a bit easier.
• LIVE Party allows for up to eight people to be grouped together from game to game without losing touch.
• LIVE Primetime brings real prizes to some games.
• Avatars - gamer tags evolved into gamer cards.  Now gamer cards are evolving.
• Display support for 16:10 screens over VGA or HDMI

Can't wait to try this out myself.  I can tell you that the LIVE Party idea will be welcomed by a good many folks.  If you've ever been marooned during the launch of a Call of Duty 4 game, you'll know what I'm talking about.
