dry, technical list on Xbox.com. Nelson's key points:

- Xbox LIVE Arcade Hits – Best selling Xbox LIVE Arcade at permanently reduced prices
- Inside Xbox – Direct news feed from Xbox.com into the Xbox LIVE Dashboard
- Enhanced online profile – Personalize your profile with an expanded bio, either “Friends Only” or the entire Xbox LIVE community.
- Expanded Friends List access – Members will be able to see the Friends Lists of other Xbox LIVE members.
- Enhanced Parental Controls – Family Timer enables parents to set the amount of time their Xbox 360 can be used on a per-day or per-week basis by their children or other members of the household.
- New video features – Full-screen movie previews and enhanced video codec support
- Easy-to-use navigation features – New Game Store button, Video Store button and enhanced visuals and descriptions in the video library.
