Microsoft has a whole host of features it plans on jamming into its fall Xbox Live dashboard update. The firmware revision will introduce to the Xbox 360's online platform such features as Twitter and Facebook integration, a Music Marketplace for listening to recommendation-radio service Last.fm (which is owned by CNET parent CBS Interactive), and a News section offering information from Microsoft and NBC Universal's joint venture, MSNBC.com.
The Xbox 360 update will also introduce 1080p high-definition video content through the Xbox Live Marketplace. To facilitate that new offering, Microsoft this week released the Wireless N Networking Adapter which it confirmed as existing in September following widespread rumors. Microsoft noted that the new wireless addon will improve the performance of other online functionality in games and content downloads.
