Microsoft has released an update for ESPN on Xbox Live, allowing Gold members access to ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPNU, Buzzer Beater, and Goal Line. Live shows are also available, including SportsCenter, SportsNation, the Mike and Mike Show, as well as NFL, MLB, and NBA games.

Below is the complete list of features through the Xbox Live update:

My Sports- ESPN on Xbox allows you to choose your favorite sports and teams and designate these channels as “My Sports,” so you can jump directly into these games and content ESPN on Xbox will automatically provide you with a personalized daily feed of live events, news and highlights based on “My Sports.” 

Mini Guide- 
The mini-guide gives you a preview and quick access to all the sports content right at the bottom of the screen.  Is another game tied up late in the fourth quarter? Instantly switch to that game. Halftime? Play the earlier highlights.

Split Screen- 
ESPN on Xbox has a split screen, allowing you to watch two events at once. Watch live events on both screens or a live event on one while you catch up on news and highlights on the other. You can even control both screens independently, pausing and rewinding each separately so you never miss a second of the action.

Gesture Control and Voice Control with Kinect for Xbox 360- 
Focus on your team instead of looking for the remote. Navigate through the content guide, skip to the next highlight, or play, pause, and rewind that big play…all with the wave of your hand or the sound of your voice.

Reminders- 
Too many big games to keep track of in your head? Not to worry – ESPN on Xbox now lets you tag games and set reminders so you never miss a moment.

Interactive ESPN BottomLine- 
The ESPN BottomLine keeps you in the know with breaking news and score updates from around the world of sports. Xbox has added interactive functionality that allows live alerts and the capability to jump to different sports or skip to the next story.
