Updated Xbox Live Dashboard Arriving December 6th
On December 6th, Microsoft will roll out an all new Dashboard. We’ve been told that it will bring the following features:
- New design for integrated Kinect and controller navigation
- New Beacons to play online with friends
- Deeper Facebook integration
- New Cloud Storage for Game Saves and Xbox LIVE Profile
We’re also hearing that this update will mimic Microsoft’s other platforms, such as the PC and Windows Mobile. If you’ve got yourself a Kinect, you’ll be able to search the web via Bing using your voice. You can also expect new apps for “televisions, movies, internet videos, sports and music” – we’re not sure what they mean by “televisions”, though.
Regardless of what other features the update brings, the new UI looks much cleaner and once again puts the PS3′s “live” experience to shame.
