We're going to do something a little different for our Fanpoll this week. Rather than take a static poll, we're going to ask our readers to submit individual ideas. Radical thinking, hmmm? As it turns out, we're also straining to come up with a question that would be easily answerable by a static poll, so we've decided to steal a topic from our Joystiq mother ship: what features would you like to see in the Xbox 360 Fall Update? We already know that it won't be IPTV, so what could it be? Do we have any prognosticators out there that can foresee the next big Xbox 360 bell and/or whistle? Let us know what you'd like to see -- or predict what you think will come true -- in the comments.
Also, check out the results from last week's Fanpoll after the break.
Honestly, the results of this poll surprised us. We had figured Rock Band would be the victor, but Guitar Hero III enjoys a healthy lead over its peripheral-heavy cousin, though there is a large percentage of people opting to buy both. The majority that chose Guitar Hero III cited a better track list and a much lower price as primary reasons for picking it over Rock Band. Rock Band proponents, naturally, are looking forward to the various instruments it utilizes. There you have it. The people have spoken.

1. Multiway chat
2. Ability to delete demos/trials from your history
3. Sortable gamerscore
4. Some more shortcuts for friends list, like RB to invite to private chat, without selecting their name, going into the menu, selecting invite to private chat

Just 2 simple things
1.) Able to fastforward/rewind songs &
2.) Able to set a sleep timer on your X360.

Divx support (I'm hoping), more responsive and quicker dashboard (It takes like 5 seconds to load when you hit the guide button), clan support , friend list glitch fixed ("Add Friend" counts as one friend), and other various improvements on other various things.
That's pretty much all I can think of. I may be drawing blanks.

The only idea I can really come up with right now is being able to pick your display achievements, the ones that you work hard for.

Also, I would like to see a game chatroom much like how Yahoo! has their chatroom. Something all gamers can go into to talk to one another about games or something in general.

Perhaps Xvid/Divx support. Also, what happened to previewing videos
that are downloading? Clan support would also be cool. And ofcourse, who can forget a browser.

Partnership with Netflix to allow you to watch their "Watch Instantly" content from your 360.

Oh and a preview of the themes and pictures you want to buy. Netflix would be cool. Also a cool sound once you unlock an achievement.

The "small turd hitting toilet water" sound isn't good enough for you?

Away messages. Something more specific than "Away" or "Busy". Maybe some shortcuts for inviting people to games and chats. More downloads on the download queue. Just to name a few...

You should make two polls, one for what we think is gonna happen, and one for what we wish our bestest magical pony wish would happen.
