Q2: What features within Xbox do you us?

Facebook, market place (for demos and DVD’s), radio and music player. Used to use MSN.

Q3: What features do you think could be improved?

Facebook is too simple, if it included features such as Facebook chat, they may use it more. Also Sky is too complicated and expensive. They don’t know enough about it to want to use it.

They would add Tumblr, Facebook chat, an Xbox blog to discuss game tactics and any problems they may occur and need help with, Skype and be able to take photos of yourself to have as your avatar. 

Q5: What other media forms do you have on whist playing?

Music on laptop so you don’t have to go through anything on your Xbox to change song, you can do it without disturbing your game. Internet to look up cheats, hints and tips, and sometimes on their mobile phone but find it hard to multitask.

Q6: Do you feel the added features have changed how you use the original forms?

Not changed.
