For the first video i used the Requiem For A Dream soundrack, this soundtrack is all action! Enjoy!

My Second Video is using the theme from the popular anime Naruto again its a very action soundtrack and kinda went well with the whole martial arts aspect. Enjoy!

Ip Man is a 2008 semi-biographical martial arts film. It is based on the life of Ip Man, the celebrated martial arts master of Bruce Lee, and the first to teach the Chinese martial art of Wing Chun openly. The film focuses on events surrounding Ip that took place in the city of Foshan between the 1930s to 1940s during the Second Sino-Japanese War. Directed by Wilson Yip, the film stars Donnie Yen in the lead role, and features fight choreography by Sammo Hung. The supporting cast includes Simon Yam, Lynn Hung, Lam Ka-Tung, Xing Yu and Japanese actor Hiroyuki Ikeuchi.

Ip Man is the first film to be based on the life of the martial artist. After a first attempt to portray Ip’s life on screen resulted in the project being abandoned, producer Raymond Wong developed his own film with full consent from Ip’s sons, and had filmmakers head to Foshan, to research Master Ip’s life. Ip Chun, Ip Man’s eldest son, served as a consultant for the film. Principal photography for Ip Man began in March 2008 and ended in August; filming took place in Shanghai, which was used to architecturally recreate Foshan. Ip Man was released in Hong Kong on 18 December 2008, receiving widespread acclaim from both critics and audiences. Following its success, Ip Man was nominated for 12 Hong Kong Film Awards, winning awards for Best Picture and Best Action Choreography.

Avatar items – You can outfit your avatar with purchased items or awards from games. To buy these avatar items you can shop for them on xbox live or from the avatar editor. Or, if your lucky enough to be awarded something from a game you can access it through the editor.
So is this a cool update? erm its ok in my opinion ther’s not many outfits and items at the moment but i guess its a good touch to the dashboard. my biggest criticism is the fact that we have to pay for these it would have been nice to be given a few for free.

Games On Demand - Full Xbox 360 games are now  available online! Previously they were only available on disc but now you can buy and download them straight from xboxlive.
So is this a cool update? Certainly i was actualy waiting for this like many other gamers who like to be served on a plate kinda thing although my criticism here will be on the prices, they seem to be higher than retail prices

Community Ratings - New community ratings feature lets you zero in on great game content on xbox live. All downloadable games and game content can now be rated by xbox live members. Using this rating system while browsing for content will help you find the games you want.
So is this a cool update? yeah its more of a user friendly feature in my opninon there’s not much that can be said about it though

Gold Member Veterans – Been on xbox live for long? well now you get to show it off! Anyone looking at your gamer card will now know how long you’ve been an Xbox Live gold member. And who knows there might be other perks for you too..
So is this a cool update? well if your a gold member yeah definatly who doesn’t want to show off (i’m not a gold member by the way) despite all that i dont think its a necessary update something along the lines of new content would be more appreciated.

Marketplace on the Web – The above new features are all available on the web! Go to http://marketplace.xbox.com to check it out and set more items up for download to your console
So is this a cool update? Yep! the more accesiblity options the more the merrier!

Ok so these updates were cool n all but throwing in a few extra themes and making it a bit more flashier would have been appreciated.
