Microsoft Xbox 360 social networking update releasing on November 17

Microsoft Xbox Live general manager, Marc Whitten has confirmed that the company would release the much talked about update to the Xbox 360 gaming console on November 17.

This update would add support for social networking services Facebook, Twitter, and Last.FM.

Gamers would get the ability to convert their Facebook friends to Xbox Live contacts for better integration.

Whitten said: “We look at things like Facebook and Twitter as amazing social experiences, but also entertainment. We didn’t want to copy and paste from the PC. It’s going to be great for current users, but it’s also great for new users who can see who is on Facebook and get their first 30 friends on Live.”
