I have my 360 mounted in a closet so that the noise is muffled. Also some are quieter than others for some reason, which stupid. - Better ratings for people on Live. Everyone has 5 stars, even the idiot players, people that use cheats, sing, team killers, etc. Players should be able to block 'undesirable' players from entering games. - Better codec support for watching videos. - Built-in controller battery charger - Standards for Xbox live user interfaces and methodologies for joining games. Basically so that the Gears of War 2 on Live fiasco can't happen again. COD/Halo games should be the model. - All games run from hard drive, not run from disc. - Quiet.

The party system and cross game chat? All that is paid for by the subscription. So my $0.02 is: -Make XBL faster! Since Nixxie, it seems to chug for ages before you can do something as basic as d/l a video or view your friends list. Get the speed back to what it was before. -Have better XBLA sales - similar to those on PSN. You wouldn't believe how many extra sales would come by redusing the price of an older, but still desirable game by 50% instead of 20%. -Better hardware. Make it work, and not just for a year. No more RRoD or E78, it makes you a laughing stock (laughing all the way to the bank, but still...) If they make XBL free, there’s the chance that it could end up as bad as PSN.
