Microsoft have been a little bit busy today by announcing some of the stuff we can expect to see in the next Dashboard update coming sometime early Autumn.
Below is some of the details on what we will be getting.
NetFlix Update
Nothing to do with us so it's a bit pointless telling you what to expect.
Avatar MarketPlace
You probably thought that all of these clothes and updates that we have been getting for avatar have been nice of Microsoft for giving them to us for free well they will do what they do best and start to charge us for exclusive clothing from some the games we play by adding a marketplace for our avatars.
Games On Demand
Like they said back at E3 the classic game section is going bye-bye and it will be replaced by the On Demand service where you will be able to download certain 360 titles plus you will also get access to a digital copy of the manual for it.
User Ratings
If you've ever wanted to give a game on the marketplace a score so you can warn people how bad a game is or tell them how fantastic one is well fear not as you will be able to do that come this Autumn as Microsoft is adding a rating system where you will be able to score games out of 5 stars, you will also be able to easily find games by using this stars system as well.
Xbox Live Party
The party system will change a little bit as well with you being able to invite somebody to your party with just one button press and also if they lose connection and get kicked from your party they will instantly be put back into your party without you doing anything.
Video Display Options
If you like to tinker around with the options so you can set things to your standards you will be able to do that as Microsoft will enable you set the picture and sound options to the way you want them.
Other Things of Interest
- If you want to show off how long you have been a gold member then you will be able to get a stamp next to your name telling people how long you have been with Xbox Live.
- The Achievement list will be made easier for you to navigated through when you are playing a game thus making it easier to gloat to all of your friends that you have an achievement that they don't have.
- You will not be able to sent a blank voice message as a little bleep will go off telling you that your message is blank and that you need to say something.
- It seems that they will also be making it more easier for us to redeem codes, recover gamertags, check active downloads and many other things when the update comes out.
So these are a few of the thing that will be in the update coming out this Autumn you will however notice that a few things have not been mentioned including Twitter, Facebook, Last FM and the Sky dashboard add-on that was announced at this years E3 for us in the UK.
If this list changes or there is an added update i will let you know.
One quick note i hope you enjoy the picture of the old dashboard.
