The previously announced app is finally on its way.
Back when the new Xbox dashboard was revealed, a variety of apps were promised for the system, but not yet deliver. Among those was HBO and their HBO GO service. With February coming to a close, the app is still unavailable, but we now finally have an official release date.
The latest dashboard update gives the indie scene more attention.
Last fall, a dashboard update changed the layout of the Xbox 360 interface to the new metro style currently being used. Among the various problems the new layout presented, such as connection problems with the UFC app, was the way indie games were promoted, in that they weren't. XBLIGs were buried under various menus and sub categories, making the task of finding them a quest in itself.
Dailymotion and VUDU also available to download.
Major Nelson posted a blog today announcing the release of several new apps available on Xbox Live. As part of a continuing effort to build the console into a multimedia center, Microsoft has now released UFC on Xbox Live. This new app will allow users to watch UFC matches on their Xbox 360 in full HD.
Plus other deals in the 12 Days of Xbox promotion.
Microsoft's Major Nelson announced today that for the next 12 days, there will be a daily deal on Xbox Live. Called the 12 Days of Xbox Deals, every day will bring a new deal on a different item. However, each deal will only last for one day. The first deal is 50% off Bastion. Normally 1200 Microsoft Points or $15, for today only it will be available for 600 points or $7.50. To keep up with each day's deal, follow Major Nelson on Twitter.
Verizon FiOS and YouTube lead the charge of this batches offerings.
Just a week after the Xbox 360 Dashboard got an update, a slew of new video apps have landed on Xbox Live. The full list of content represents a wide variety of options, all being released in very specific territories. The US will add iHeartRadio (Clear Channel), MSNBC.Com, TMZ (Warner Bros.), Verizon FiOS TV and YouTube; while our Canadian brethren will be adding MSN Video, Rogers on Demand (Rogers Media), TMZ and YouTube.
