Microsoft Studios has begun contacting registered members of Xbox LIVE to inform them of a service update coming to the Xbox 360. Following an update to the terms & conditions of the service agreement for the Xbox LIVE network, gamers will soon receive features most closer in relation to that of the Windows Phone platform and forthcoming Windows 8 OS.
The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.
Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.
The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.
I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
It's been 20 years to the day since Xbox Live brought online play to consoles.
I remember when Live turned five and they had special edition controllers made and everything. Kind of wished they would do that again for the 20th.
Happy Birthday. OG XBL (and later 360 XBL) really revolutionized online gaming on console.
Never understood the obsession with live...but I was gaming online on PC so not sure too much of what live did that the PlayStation didn't.
Today would of been the perfect day to drop halo 2 the original bc version free on gwg.... If only
Xbox Live 1.0, the first instance of online servers for the original Xbox, is set to return via Insignia, a free third-party service that's currently compatible with 20 titles, such as Call of Duty: Finest Hour and Counter-Strike.
Whole bunch of improvements there, but you might think they're a little late really.
I've had the beta version of this for about a month or so and i think i've only used the browser once just to see how it works, overall, so far the dashboard is nothing special.
Its definitely one of the benefits to being an Xbox Live Gold Member, we all await the new dashboard features, I personally love the new look, I didn't hate the last look, but found it a bit confusing at first, definitely like the new one much better.
I've been in the dash beta since it started and think the pin features, larger icons and additions of Internet Explorer and some of the other features really tighten up an already tight online service.
Why are so many people talking about the ads? I don't even notice them. I mean if you go to the video store and you see one icon with a link to a new released movie to get on VoD - Is that the 'oh so bad ad' for you?
Going to the games section and new DLC for Forza 4 is promoted - Is that a bad thing? I actually think it is more informative than annoying.
Anyway, people will try to find a bad thing about this as well. If MS cures cancer, N4G will whine about all those doctors losing their job.
Can wait to try smartglass
