Waves 1 and 2 of the Xbox LIVE Update Preview Program have been pushed out and we have seen quite a few Xbox LIVE members already download and start checking out all the new features in this update. We are collecting the necessary information for another Wave, so please hang tight if you have been accepted but have not received your update yet. A fair number of you have not provided accurate information (like an invalid console ID or serial number) so if you previously signed up, and have not received the update, you may want to visit connect and confirm your information.
If you haven’t signed up yet, you are still in luck – we are is still taking additional signups. You can do read more about the program on my blog, or on Xbox.com. If you want to get some of your friends to try the new Netflix party mode, get then to sign up and you can try it out together!
The 'United Plates': Food-Themed Prints of All 50 States
We love it when people play with their food. Shorthanded Studio has a set of fifty food-themed prints (dubbed the "United Plates")—designed and silk-screened by Kansas artist John Wayne H., each depicts one of the fifty states in culinary form. Some are a little farfetched (Texas is just a Texas-shaped pile of peas), but others are dead-on: Kentucky as a chicken leg, Maine as a potholder, and poor Connecticut as a TV dinner. Prints $15 each, $35 for 3, available online.
