New 360/Live update

[JamesD]

I just received an email that says the XBOX 360 update that adds facebook, zune, twitter, and last fm is coming on the 17th.

It appears to require a gold subscription.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but it appears that you are a tad late to the party. M$ announced this at E3 some time ago.

They announced they were adding it but I didn't know they gave a date.

I've been active on the Beta for the last couple weeks JamesD.

As a "hardcore" gamer, stuff like this is just fluff.

 

I do like Facebook, but honestly could care less about the 360 interface. *half-yawn*

 

Twitter on the 360? *meh-I'm doing something boring-yawn*

 

The Last FM however, is pretty sweet. *listen obscure songs we love!!*

Last FM is (IMO) both interesting (trivia) and serves a purpose (folks get to listen to kick ass songs).

Play it at your next party!

Didn't they also add "MSN News" to the interface? I thought I read something where that was also included in the update.

 

If so, I'd be interested in that feature because when I used the Wii on a regular basis, I did check & enjoy the News and Weather channels.

I hadn't noticed that as part of the update. Maybe it's something that is still in the works?

I think this next update is also going to add the 1080p instant streaming for movies as well.

The updates and extra features are nice, but I don't use Twitter and I'm fine with Facebook on my PC, thanks.

 

Frankly, I still have that new look. What was wrong with the original 360 interface? It was clean, looked good, easy to use, and easy to navigate.
