Microsoft Announces Netflix Xbox Live Improvements; Brings 1080p Streaming Video, last.fm Music
The company also announced upcoming changes to the Netflix Xbox Live service. The service will now allow users to queue up video directly from the Xbox 360 Netflix interface.
Furthermore, the Xbox Live video store will soon be relaunched as the Zune Video store. All videos will now be available in 1080p instant streaming, which will require a connection speed of around 8Mbps.
Also introduced was Live Party, which will excitingly allow Xbox Live users to watch videos in a room with other Xbox Live users and their avatars, reminiscent of the PlayStation Home theater.

I have been using last.fm for years until they started charging for their service a few weeks ago. I will definitely continue using it now if it is free on Xbox Live.
