Have they ever done anything cool with them? Or are they just for tightening the code and fixing bugs?

I've actually got a bug in my music player right now, I think that arose after installing an update from an Official Xbox Magazine. My music plays on random, whether I want it sequential or not. Both the stuff on my Zen Touch and that I've ripped to the HD.

So I figured I should upgrade my firmware with an official update and got to wondering what they're like. I've got a PSP and the bigger firmware upgrades always seem to introduce cool (from as simple as allowing custom wallpaper to as awsome as a PS1 emulator).

What's the 360 got?

Some of the changes have been pretty substantial. Background downloading and 1080p HD output were both added through updates, and the load time and layout of the Live Arcade menu were significantly improved. That's just off the top of my head.
