Follow-up: the ''mute idiot'' function for Halo3 is already available today!

As a follow-up to the "Mute idiots in Halo 3" story, Major Nelson kindly let know that there's already something similar to this already in ALL your current Xbox 360 games:
"The 'mute a player option' in the Xbox 360 guide actually lets you mute players permanently (not just one game session) and it mutes them across ALL Xbox 360 games."
Here is how you do it if you didn't already know (it sounds harder than it actually is):
"While you are playing in any Xbox 360 game, press the guide button, scroll down to the 'Community' section then click to the right and press A on the icon of the controller. That will bring up a list of people are you are currently playing with followed by others you have played with in recent games. (we call this the recent players list.) Then scroll down to the gamertag who is bothering you with their yammering and press A to get to their profile...scroll to the bottom and click MUTE. BAM...the player is now muted in your current game session. You can now continue your game in peace. (You can always go through the same steps to unmute a player.)"
"Oh, and while you're at it, select submit player review (two clicks up from MUTE) and be sure to select avoid this player (and select why.) This will tell Xbox Live that you would prefer not to play with this person in any game and our system will do its best to not match you up again with that person ever again."
That's it, basically. A feature in Halo 3 that you (sort of) already have today. Granted, it's not mapped under one single button, but there you go.
Online races are just as frantic as the single player offering.
The graphics and sound are excellent by the standards of a third-party Wii game.
Although Heavy Rain is entertaining from the start, there are several flaws that hamper the enjoyment.
A very endearing entry in the series, and another that is well worth checking out.
The first thing you notice when you get this guide in your hands is the quality.
The control gripes aside, Aliens vs Predator is a good game.
