Xbox Dashboard Update Will be Available On December 6th For Xbox Live users

Posted By | On 22nd, Nov. 2011

Microsoft has just announced that the new Dashboard update will be available to all Xbox Live members on December 6th. While some of us have been enjoying the New Metro dashboard already, and bug fixing of course, all of the others will have to wait just a few more weeks before they can check it out.

Yeah, the Kinect and Bing functionality rocks!

While many of you have been involved in the Xbox LIVE Preview Program and have been busy getting an early look at the next Xbox 360 and Xbox LIVE features, I wanted to let you know that the official release for the update for all Xbox LIVE members will be Tuesday, December 6th. In this update, free to all console owners, you will 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)

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.
