Since I only got my 360 a week ago, I'm still learning about all the cool things that this little box can do. Like download marketplace content in the background and automatically power-off the console, automatically resume paused and stopped DVDs. My absolute faveourite so far though has to be the ability to play your own music while playing games. Take that PS3. I've got a playlist on my PC called "Fantasy Heroics", usually played when I need some musical inspiration for writing or roleplaying. I discovered that I could stream the content of that playlist over the wireless network to the 360, and play it while playing Fable 2. Since this playlist has the music from Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, Steamboy and Pirates of the Carribean, it gives the game a whole new feel. Especially when a real pumping track starts playing when you're in the middle of a sword fight with a bunch of bandits. There were some odd moments where it almost felt like the xbox was choosing thematically appropriate music for the scene. Like when I finally got through the howling halls to Westfield and the "Arrival and Sryacuse" track started playing. The music and the visuals meshing perfectly.
