"Also more function and advanced features."

Thats what I posted. I guess you'll have to take the time to read the article. I'm sure the XBL update will be using the Silverlight graphical framework tech in ways not yet talked about.

It's an extremely solid and stable internet multiplayer service that cost you 5 dollars a month....a whole 5 dollars......So you eat at home instead of going to taco bueno one night and that pays for Live....

I make 5 bucks in less than an hour and I get a whole month of Live.......

Let's (and by let's....I mean sony fanboys) blow this way out of proportion like we're having to pay 300 bucks a year....Would I like it be free? Sure, who wouldn't? Am i whining that it's 5 bucks a month.....absolutely not

People need to get their priorities straight

If so could we see MS providing silverlight web-games and silver light web apps for the xbox? Like bing maps(which is like 100x better then google maps for the isometric view)?

I know it can provide streaming 1080p.

Move to push silverlight to mainstream developers & kill Flash?

Consoles have spoken on 1 war (optical media), will they be the deciding authority again?

This is great for consumers and Xbox 360 enthusiasts everywhere, finally we will be able to combine the most powerful console with the most powerful and feature rich multimedia plugin ever created.

Silver light is pretty cool . I wonder what other feature`s besides "ads" will benefit from this on xbox live.

If you can do this stuff on xbox live with content. This would b e cool.

Ehm...lol =P

Still, interesting iniciative =) lets see how it goes...although i thought they already had loads of advertisements on Live? o.O Someone enlighten me here as to why this is a good ting? Gratzie =)

OOOH you guys are going to bring down the full wrath of a mod soon, there are three of you, who know who you are that need to go away or shut up.

I swear if I come back in the morning and this place is a mess again, I am slamming all of you with a long ban.

It would be cool if the next update uses silver light.

guess it woould be a

New New Silver Light Experience.

lol

Sony: We have next gen media and processor.

M$: We have NEXT GEN ADS!!!

SilverLight is amazing. I love working with it over flash but of course doesn't have enough marketshare.

More tech is always a good thing. Keep going! Push push push.

Side note: never seen so many deleted comments in the gamer zone before! Almost makes me happy - not that the usual suspects are still making off the wall comments, but that the mods are actually getting down to business for once! All too often in recent times I've seen clearly open-zone worthy comments left alone in the gamer zone.

Silverlight is pretty cool, I've seen what it can do.

Of what exact use it will be to 360 users...I don't know. But hey, if more features are added, why the hell not be happy for it?

SL is just a pain in the arse. Microsoft through and through.

I agree, I like the competition but Sony's has not really kept up with the MS announcements.

Almost everyday something is coming to XBL.

Get on the Ball Sony.

Netflix uses silverlight, and they have by FAR, the best streaming quality/technology. Well beyond HULU and the other flash players.

Regardless, it only works in Microsoft Explorer, which is beyond silly.

Also, true 1080p + 5.1 surround sound is not possible on our current data infrastructure.

I dont see why gamers are getting excited over this...it's not going to improve your 360 in any way...and it's not going to entertain you...it's just a medium for companies to get prettier ads on your screen. As for the streaming, we'll see about that.

Good job Microsoft, keep pushing technology forward. We need it, and someone's got to do it.

What's the deal with the huge ammount of deleted comments to this article in the gamer zone? One of them was mine, and it wasn't even remotely offensive or inappropriate.

what the hell is up with this? why are they bringing this crap to the xbox? its a game console not some advertising thing. so instead of trying to make the console work better or whatever there just trying to make advertising and movies better? In my opinion i think this is really lame.

Sorry, you can't make ads more interesting for me.

some of you have such a hard time looking at the bigger pic.

If they can put a browser it will be awesome with this :D

or even game data !
