Rate This

It was announced this morning on the Major Nelson Blog that the next system update for the Xbox 360 will be officially released on Tuesday, December 6.

In this update, free to all Xbox 360 console owners, you'll see:

  • New personal and social features including Cloud Storage for Game Saves and LIVE Profile
  • Beacons and Facebook Sharing
  • Enhanced Family Settings
  • Integrated voice and gesture controls across the dashboard and in apps
  • Bing voice search (Available this year in the US, UK and CA)

According to Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb, in addition to all these great dashboard features, starting on December 6th and continuing on an ongoing basis through the holiday months, a wealth of new content will be coming to Xbox 360. New, customized applications for television, movies, internet videos, sports and music will begin rolling out from world-leading providers in more than 20 countries.



In the meantime, you can get an early sneak peek of the Beacons feature right now on Xbox.com. Check out this article for a look at how Beacons work, and at other new features recently launched on Xbox.com.

  • I never post about these things, but this update is unbelievable.  The best parts of this update are the little things that it has taken some time for me to notice.  Signing in guests is 100x easier, recovering your gamertag to another Xbox is 1000x easier, and you can download things from xbl while playing your games! Unbeleivable.

    Thank you Microsoft

  • only a couple of things to say about the new update for the xbox, 1 looks horriable, 2 looks horriable, 3 slows the whole system down to a crawl now, 4 looks excatly like the phone system which i dont like and imma stop cause i could go on forever with the new setup!!!!

  • HI I AM A LOCAL VIDEOGAME STORE OWNER XBOX AND PLASTATION ARE THINKING ABOUT ADDING A CODE ON TO THEIR NEW GAMES FOR THEIR NEW SYSTEMS TO BE RELEASED IN 2013 THAT STOPS OR WOULD REQUIRE YOU TO BUY A CODE ONLINE IF YOU WANT TO PURSHASE A VIDEOGAME PRE OWNED. I OWN 3 VIDEOGAMESTORES IN NY AND WE BASICALLY SURIVIVE  FROM PRE OWNED GAMES ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHER LOCAL STORES WORLD WIDE, BECUASE THESE COMPANYS SELL US THE NEW GAMES FOR A VERY HIGH PRICE. SO IF THEY DECIDE TO DO THIS BASICALLY THEY ARE ROBBING YOUR AND OURS MONEY, ALSO STORE OWNERS LIKE MYSELF WONT BE ABLE TO SURVIVE IF THEY CUT OFF PRE OWNED GAME SALES, AND THAT MEANS NO MORE VIDEO GAME STORE IN YOUR NEIGHERBHOOD NO MORE MIDNIGHT RELEASES AND NO MORE GETTING A GAME PRE OWNED CHEAPER. AND WE WILL BE FORCED TO CLOSE SO PLEASE XBOX DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS YOU WILL DESTROY MILLIONS OF LOCAL STORES LIKE MYSELF THAT HAVE AVAID BUYERS AND LOYAL CUSTOMERS OF YOURS FOR YEARS. UNLESS YOU GUYS ARE GONNA MAKE THE NEW TITLES AVAIBLE TO ALL US RETALIERS FOR DISTRIBUTION COST YOU GUYS CAN NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN WE CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT PREOWNED SALES.

  • this is great

  • I still don't understand why in the friend's activity section, why it doesn't show how many of those that are online are currently playing the given game. IT shows the same friends are playing different games, it doesn't make sense. I think it show just leave out the section "x online", which is on top of the section "x recently played" and/or put how many friends are currently playing the given game not as oppose to being online.

  • vou postar aqui porque nao achei e (nem sei se existe)central de sugestoes,entao vou deixar a minha sugestao aqui,queria que voces criassem um xbox portatil com todos o botao do controle original,e nao igual ao da concorrencia,e tambem que se voces criarem,que o jogo que a gente comprasse viesse com um bonus pro portatil e vice e versa,e que o mesmo jogo do xbox a gente pudesse jogar no portatil e continua o nivel,tipo:a pessoa vai sair e nao quer para de jogar,entao continua jogando no portatil,e se voces lerem isso por favor me avisem e deêm credito a mim se vcs criarem por favor ok?,outra coisa voces deviam criar jogos pra adultos e de luta para kinect por que afinal de contas parte das pessoas que jogam,jogam online e sozinhas ou com um amigo e nao com a familia que nem sempre esta disponivel,e o kinect devia ser menos ''leg'' reconhecer tudo do corpo,dedo,olhos,boca,e tal,nao so os movimentos duros do corpo:pernas,braços e cabeça, e claro,criem uma central de sugestoes ou tornem ela mais facil de achar,e que os dlcs de jogos ou jogos de arcade nao disaparessem simplismente e nunca mais aparecerem,e os jogadores que compraram o jogo um ano depois de seu lançamento?nao tem culpa de nao ter o requisito o suficiente para comprar no lançamento para te-lo,e ai?eles ficam com desvantegens por que a pessoa comprou no ano do lançamento quando ainda tinha o dlc e baixou ele?como e que fica?castle crashes com o seu necromancer e o rei que nao tem mais,pelos menos deveria ter um jeito de adqueri-lo no jogo ne?
