The new update was a shaky one.
The rollout of the new Xbox 360 Dashboard has been rough. After being delayed until late last night, various problems have been reported by Xbox 360 users. Microsoft's Major Nelson stated on his twitter account that Microsoft is working on fixing the problems users are having. As of now, it appears that most, if not all of the issues have been resolved.
Set to release today, the new Dashboard is now TBD.
Major Nelson sent a tweet earlier this morning at 7 AM in regards to the new Xbox Dashboard update that was scheduled to be released. The tweet goes as follows: "FYI: The timing for Xbox 360 dashboard update has been slightly delayed. I’ll have a status update later today."
YouTube and TV providers missing the update's launch.
The big Xbox 360 fall dashboard update is finally coming out tomorrow and I personally blame my OCD tendencies for being so excited for it. Announced this year at E3 2011, the update includes Bing searching, YouTube, Live TV and EPIX, among other features. A UFC app was also announced but we know that it's been delayed to December 20 instead of its original date of December 1. Now it seems that the dashboard update will be missing a lot of the announced apps, at least at launch.
TV service is coming to the 360 with these first 26 channels.
Verizon FiOS customers will be able to start watching live cable TV with their Xbox 360s and an internet connection next month, according to the service provider. In order to have this service, Xbox 360 owners must have FiOS TV and FiOS Internet services, as well as be Xbox Live Gold members. A free app must be downloaded to the Xbox 360 for the service to work.
The (New) New Xbox Experience comes out next month.
Microsoft announced that the new Xbox 360 dashboard will be out on December 6, 2011. This update was originally revealed at E3 2011.
The Gears Trilogy ends on a strong note.
Whether it's due to the fresh take it had on the 3rd person shooter, its high-stakes action, or gameplay innovations, gamers latched on to the Gears series and came to discover that this franchise was one to look out for. Millions of copies sold and many Game of the Year accolades later, Gears of War 3 is the final installment in the trilogy and it shows exactly why the series has stayed relevant and popular over the years.
Beacons will be added.
Some big changes are on the way. The “My Xbox” section of Xbox.com is being replaced with an update designed to make it easier to see what your friends are doing on Xbox LIVE.
Both include two games and 3 months of Xbox Live.
Larry Hyrb announced yesterday two new Xbox 360 bundles for this holiday season. Both will be available in the coming weeks.
Microsoft reveals a list of providers coming to their gold service.
At this year's E3, Microsoft announced plans to take another step towards dominance over the living room with their Xbox 360 and Xbox Live service. The company planned to bring live TV to the service, further enhancing the varied offering which includes the likes of Netflix, Hulu+, and Twitter. Today, a list of current planned content providers were revealed for both live TV and video on demand.
