Xbox Live update coming on December 6th
The long await Xbox Live fall update is just around the corner. For those lucky few who got in on the early release of the update, you will soon get access to apps, streaming and Xbox TV. In a few short weeks, on December 6th you will have access to the Xbox Live fall update.
I for one am looking forward to the ability to access additional content that the new dashboard update is going to provide, I am just hoping it doesn’t disappoint.
The update is free to all Xbox 360 console owners and includes an overhauled Dashboard look, an expanded set of Kinect voice controls, integrated Facebook Sharing, and cloud storage for game saves. Starting from the 6th, the console will also include new entertainment options, such as live TV and streaming movies and music, though which particular new service you get will depend on where you live and what content agreements Microsoft has in place.

I’m pretty excited for the new content providers, especially HBO GO since running that from my laptop to the TV was annoying. Also excited for the Comcast stuff (probably the last time you’ll hear me say “excited” and “Comcast” in the same sentence). But that’s mostly because my cable box is absolute garbage and OnDemand never works with it. So if the same catalog of stuff is available through Xfinity’s app, then problem solved. Cloud storage is pretty sweet as well, now if I happen to swing by a friend’s place (or vice versa) we can always use our profiles and game saves.
If media center was more integrated into this whole mess, my xbox would be the perfect device. OK and maybe if it had blu-ray hehe 😉
