Xbox gui should be instantly responsive (at least as an option). It's so tediously slow, it even misses button presses - you have to wait for it. It's frustrating and unnecessary in a graphics machine. No offense, but even the grossly underpowered iPhone manages to be instant. Xbox Zune is even slower: the switch to movies takes many seconds. Perhaps this is setting up encryption modules - but it's absurd. Because of this, I avoid anything movie related (Of course, games are the key, but an unnecessarily shoddy experience actually makes me use the Xbox much less often.)

"Indie Games" aren't available on Australian Xbox - this would add a lot of value.

Gold Xbox: the inline link to "switch off auto-renewals" doesn't work. You have to ring up, and cancel instantly, losing the rest of the month. This comes across as underhanded and dishonest. Unless Xbox LIVE is a major profit center, this needlessly loses goodwill.
