What would you want added to the Xbox 360?

I wouldn’t consider myself a “hardcore” gamer but I do spend a lot of time on my Xbox 360. I love the system to death I use to stream movies from my Mac to my HD screen, rent movies, and listen to music(also from the Mac). So you could say that I mostly use my Xbox 360 as a media server, which is a fair assumption but I do play the hell out of Madden 08 and Hal0 3. So with all of this it sounds like the Xbox is complete right?
Wrong there is one thing that the Xbox 360 must have, and what is that? Youtube.
How great would it be to watch Youtube on your big screen from the Xbox 360, much like the Apple TV. Part of the reason for this is because of the fact that Youtube streams video and there is no downloading. Like on the Xbox 360 now to watch a game trailer or music video you must download the file, which can take a while.
Of course there are other great things that could be added like a web browser, out-of-the-box Mac support, and no RROD, had to throw that in here. So what would you like to be added to the Xbox 360? Let me know via a comment or you can email me at matt.digged@gmail.com

I wish each GameScore point you got would equal a Microsoft Credit and you could buy stuff with your GameScore…even XBOX LIVE.

a way to hook it to my car and get 50+mpg.
My wife has become enamored of the Wii. I live in fear that I’ll buy one and it will sit next to the Dreamcast and the little vintage plug-in tv games. I was around for Pong.
My coworker said I need two controllers. I told him no, my wife can only use one at a time. I just don’t *do* games.
Otoh, maybe I can hack it and install linux

i think it should have a way where you can ‘install’ games onto the system, and run it straight from a hard drive, just like a PC. That way, you won’t have to mess around with disks.
I’m sick of having to get up from the comfortable spot of the sofa to swap game disks! I’m too lazy to get up! Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could simply have your controller beside you at all times, and you could do everything and play every game without ever going near your Xbox?

1. A Blue Ray drive. To replace the HDDVD drive.
2. Better streaming with support for subtitles and easier to jump around in the video file. (They should take a look at XBMC)
3. Better handling of music. Or at least another option. I’d rather work with file shares like how I handle my videos instead of the media player indexing.
4. Streaming of internet radio stations.
Those are my main requests. I mainly use it as a media center as well to play streaming video. I use to use the XBox1 with XBMC and it was perfect. Only only upgraded to get a few of the games on the 360.
