Thank goodness they finally fixed the background downloading issue – just in time for E3 (where I'll be next week recording interviews for one of our sponsors, GoDaddy – with the coupon code “chris1″ for a discount). There's a better Xbox Message Center available through the consoles now – more functionality for gold subscribers, of course. Who wants to key in messages through a controller, anyway!? Major Nelson has more improvements, too – including a link to screen shots of the new Xbox Live experience on the Xbox 360. I've been playing Burnout Revenge every day while I've been working out on the Gazelle. Two birds with one stone, man!
