Xbox Live Update On Track For November 1
Starting tomorrow a new look and added functionality is coming to Xbox Live. Email updates sent to Xbox Live users this weekend detailed the transition, stating that on "November 1, 2010, there will be a mandatory service update to Xbox Live. This update will both add new features to your service and also enhance the interface, navigation, and responsiveness of Xbox Live.”
Need a refresher on what the update will bring? Kinect functionality is obviously the largest overhaul, but the fall update will also include ESPN and added Zune compatibility, search options for Netflix, and other small additions which we’ve detailed here. A visual overhaul is also part of the package.
Remember, the update is mandatory, so if you decline you’ll be unable to connect to Xbox Live until you change your mind. The Xbox team says to expect the update to take 5-10 minutes in full.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
