Xbox 360 System Update – Mandatory

A new system update for Xbox 360 has been released.  The full changelog can be found here.  The main changes include:

  • While you can browse and purchase Avatar items and full Xbox 360 games in the console with this update, the ability to add these items your Xbox 360 download queue from Xbox.com will be available this Thursday.
  • Xbox LIVE integration with Twitter, Facebook and Last.FM will be available later this year.
  • Zune Video Marketplace will also ship later this fall when it will replace the current Video Marketplace.

The new update brings an avatar marketplace, improved Netflix support, and Games on Demand.  However, social networking support is not yet implemented.  It apparently will be coming in the fall.
