What ideas do you have for Bungie.net? POST THEM HERE!

I have several ideas:
1. A Video player. Many of us don't want to download videos from our PC, turn on our 360, wait for the video to download, and watch it on our 360. Let us watch it from our PC! Make it so we can send it to our friends via email or B.net username, or download it in different formats!
2. Multi-language support. English is obviously the dominant language of Halo players and Bungie.net users overall. But because of this, it's alienating the non-English speaking fans to an extent. Bungie.net should have multi-language versions of the site, such as a Japanese or Spanish version.
3. Time zones. The site is only in PST. Let users change their time zone in the "Edit Profile" setting.
4. Online/Off status. It would be nice to know when a member is online or off. Preferably, the status should be under the member's name.
5. Friends list. Self-explanatory.

Yah. I would like to see a friend's list, but most of those on b.net that I consider friends, are already on my MSN and XBL lists.

The video player would never happen as streaming video takes up alot of bandwidth. Considering b.net has over 1 million registered users, the site would damn near crash because of bandwidth usage. Multi-language wouldn't be bad, but it would be too expensive to implement.

So now I'm a beta tester. Let's see where this goes.

#1) Might be hard to do given the way the game has been coded and how the system is now, but a good idea for a future title.
#2) Not every aspect of the site could be translated. There's just too much to cover. Plus I'm sure that Mirosoft Japan has the Japanese people covered.
#3) Me likey.
#4) Me likey.
#5) Me likey.
