What more do you want?

So in their newest update, Microsoft added Facebook connectivity, Twitter, Last FM, Zune HD videos and other stuff.
Their console is already solid, there's a great deal of features: game downloads, storing games on HDD, demos, homebrew, trailers, game extensions, video and voice chat, windows live messenger, etc.

What would you like to see in future update?
What do you hope MS will come up with ?
Examples: a full fledged web browser, RSS feed support (if it doesnt do that already), ...

Let me know what you think

GBAtemp Halloween 2009 Competition

GBAtemp Halloween 2009 Competition Over 20 prizes to win!

This year's Halloween is coming up very soon! So get your best costumes ready 'cause... GBAtemp is proud to announce its Halloween 2009 Competition! The theme is very simple: post a photo of your Halloween costume. Here are the terms and conditions for entering this competition. The competition is open to all members: newcomers, regulars, staff... Yes, staff can enter this one too since the winners will be designated by an external jury. All you need is an account on GBAtemp! You may post only one photo, so choose carefully! Furthermore, to make sure you aren't posting a photo from last year's costume (or simply someone else's), you'll need to include a piece of evidence in the photo, such as GBAtemp's mascot - and we want the real deal, not a photoshop job. The competition will close on November 2nd, 23:59 GMT. Which means you have two days past the actual Halloween day to submit your entry. To submit your entry, simply post your photo as a reply to this very news topic. For hosting the photo, you may use your own GBAtemp Picture Upload Space, if you have the sufficient privileges for it. This competition is sponsored by IShopVideoGame! Here are the 21 prizes awarded for the winners: First Prize: a brand new Dingoo A320 console! 20 runner-ups will choose their preferred prize among this list: a DS Lite & PSP USB charging cable, a modern-looking silver case for DS Lite, a set of funny looking Nintendo stickers for their DS Lite console, or a leather pouch for Nintendo DS Lite.  Many thanks to Ishopvideogame.com for their generosity!

GBAtemp Network launches new website: FileTrip

GBAtemp Network launches new website: FileTrip Powerful Download Center

After months and months of hard work, Costello and shaunj66 are proud to introduce FileTrip.net, an advanced standalone download system website that will be replacing our good old GBAtemp Download Center! FileTrip is a unique download center that hosts thousands of files for the latest video game consoles and handhelds, as well as other systems including phones and PDAs. We've designed FileTrip to satisfy both file uploaders and visitors that are looking for a definitive source to download the latest versions of their favourite files, quickly and easily! Here is a quick summary of the best features that we want to share with you today: Thousands of files available, including over 7,200 files imported from the GBAtemp Download Center! We have reorganized the categories to include more sections and systems. We're now hosting files for all kinds of systems: NDS, GBA, Wii, 360, PSP, PS3, iPhone, iPod Touch, Oldie consoles, mobile phones, PDAs and more! Finding files has never been easier! We have designed a version-select system that allows file posters to group files together in order for visitors to always find the latest versions, while older versions are still archived -- because newer isn't always better. Each file version has it's own individual page, which allows you to view information unique to that specific version. Always stay up to date! Subscribe to receive notifications of when a file is updated. If you own a flashcart, subscribe to your flashcart's firmware file group, and get notified instantly when a new version is made available! Notifications are also available for categories (unless you prefer RSS feeds - which we have an abundance of!) and when a comment is posted on your file. Simplified file uploading We've made a huge effort to make file uploading a streamlined process: simply pick a category, enter the file name, select the file you want to upload and click "Complete"! Or get intricate and provide more details, upload up to 5 screenshots, a change log, and so much more! File uploaders are REWARDED! We've designed a points system that allows file uploaders to be rewarded for their efforts. You'll find a good variety of gifts available with your FileTrip points, or you may even change your points to cash (all subject to T&C)! There is so much more available at FileTrip! Read our 20 reasons why you should use and upload your files to FileTrip!. To help you get started, you may want to read this quick tour of the FileTrip features. We hope you will enjoy FileTrip and will become a regular contributor! Please note that links to files on the old download center will now automatically take you to the corresponding file on FileTrip.  Visit FileTrip.net now!  Discuss
