Thanks Barrie. Accessibility feature discovery is something that is definitely on our radar.

It's a natty device, really well built and thought out. Let's hope Microsoft and others follow it up with a way to sift through the store for games using simpler controls (e.g. a joystick and a couple of buttons, and hopefully just a button or two).
