Party on in the new and improved Party App

“Be the leader of your party with the new party leader setting. As the party leader, you can change whether the party requires invitations and you can remove others from the party. The updated app also lets you see what activities everyone in your party is doing and who is playing in the same game with you in addition to being able to quickly perform common actions like muting, joining, or sending game invites.”

Additionally, we are adding the ability to record game clips directly from the Now Playing bar. Finally, for users who upgrade the app directly, we have introduced a What’s New page highlighting the features of each release.”

Nothing too exciting in this update. The party updates are cool but they are nothing new, just finally coming up to the standard of the 360. I don't see what the big deal is with playing the media from the USB, I mean it's a feature I personally wouldn't use but hey, it's out there.
