Ok, after reading some more of the nitty gritty, it looks like we *will* be getting dixv/xvid support after all. Huzzah!

Improved enforcement of Windows Live ID and Gamertag Regions

Hmm, wonder if that means we wont be able to sneak our free downloads in from other regions any more

That'll be really useful, having to disconnect from one to connect to another is a right pain in the arse at times.

They've done it to apparently let people access WMP11 and Zune software together, but there are obviously other benefits to the rest of us mortals

If the xvid support is decent I might even move most of my streaming to the Linux box. Be interesting to play with it.

I'm now told I'll have broadband next Friday, so a couple of days late but not too bad, especially considering I'm literally working all week, including overnight on Friday :S

Overnight?! I'm doing a 13 hour day on Thursday and that's bad enough!

I've done it before, but it's an unfortunate start to a long weekend. 9pm Fri to 6am Sat, couple of hours kip then back in 1/2pm Sat (depending on how things are going, couple of other guys will start at 8am anyway), full day Sunday, then probably a normal week to follow. Might try and take a day off but you dont know how things are gonna go!

Anyway, managed to get the xbox online using my phone as GPRS modem. It's slow, but I have the track pack, and Dee is happy

Finally finished Half Life 2. I'll agree with Leo when he says that there's a kind of... lack of purpose, when compared to the first one. I enjoyed it though, and will start Episode 1 later today or tomorrow

360 froze just as the ending started though. Possible the third time it's ever happened, though never before at such an annoying time.

Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!

Just after the time slowed/stopped and that guy started talking in my ear. Said about two words then... locked :S

End Spoiler Alert!

Only saved a couple of minutes before hand though so it didnt take long to get there again.

Which would people recommend, COD4 of Mass Effect. Stuck on which to get now, and which to get for Christmas.
