Earlier this year at E3, Microsoft announced some great new features that would be coming to the Xbox 360 later this year. The first few features were released earlier this year back in August, of which included the games on demand service plus the addition of the avatar marketplace.
Well now, about two months after that update, the next one has finally been announced, and it’s the one I’ve been looking forward to.
The upcoming update will bring both Facebook and Twitter to the Xbox 360 dashboard, allowing you to tweet, update your statuses, plus, some new features that will allow you to share your gaming profile with your friends via the social networking sites.
Although this latest dashboard hasn’t really been officially announced, if you head over to the UK Xbox Live site, you’ll find a new image showing the brand new features. If you look slightly closer at these images, at the bottom of both it says “Coming soon. Service launches 17th November 2009“, that sounds like a pretty good sign to me.
Unfortunately for Xbox Live Silver members, the Facebook and Twitter features won’t be accessible. This means that if you really want to use them, you’ll have to pay the fee for Xbox Live Gold membership.
Currently, due to the update not being officially announced, it’s unknown whether any other features will be included in this update, suppose we’ll just have to wait and see what Microsoft come out with.

It’s always good news when two major companies get together, and this is no exeption. I’ll lookforward to seeing all of my non-pc-owning friends on facebook soon!
