Anticipation for the Xbox Live Update is growing. On November 17, 2009 we will have a lot more options available to those of us with an Xbox Live Gold Membership.
Things to look forward to are:

1. Twitter. Giving all the people that can't already tweet enough, an added vice.
2. Last.FM. Listen to the music you love as the tunes are pumped out of your TV to your Surround Sound.
3. Zune is coming offering you streaming HD movies.
4. Facebook. Take pictures and post them on your Facebook directly from your couch.

These are all great things to look forward to. However November brings not only a great update, but some of the most anticipated games for 2009. November should be the month that gamers gamers and social networking whores can be thankful for.

Thanks Microsoft!

In my opinion, I can personally do without the Facebook and Twitter add-on.  But, I think that Last.Fm could be a really cool addition. Most people have the biggest and best sound system in their house located in the living room (or wherever the TV is located). Last.Fm could possibly be my saving grace. You see, I live in a smaller town were there are few radio stations to chose from. I listen to CD's all the time, but in order to hear new music I have to either go visit a bigger city or hop on the internet. If I can have the opportunity to hear new music while still vegging in front of my TV, that in my head is a plus. The only thing I think would be cooler, is if you can still play multiplayer games online while still streaming the feed from your last.fm account.

I'll try my very best to make this shorter than the source material that I'm pulling it from (Gizmodo's live blog coverage of E3).

Tony Hawk - RIDE is a cool excuse to have a plastic skateboard in your living room.

Really looking forward to Modern Warfare 2 to come out!

Joy Ride is a new Xbox Arcade that uses Avatars in the driver's seat. Looks kinda fun.

Left4Dead 2 coming November 17!!!

Splinter Cell: Conviction.

"Yeah, the game looks fun with varied environments like streets and museums. They still need to polish the edges, which are often distractingly pixelated. But Sam Fisher is kicking ass, Bourne-style. And like I said, the noir lighting is really fantastic."
-Mark Wilson

Halo 3 ODST, World Premier!

"But even without Master Chief and the new HUD, this feels like Halo…but maybe with a little influence from Call of Duty, with lots of your squad shouting at you all the time. And that’s a wrap for ODST."
-Mark Wilson

last.fm coming to Xbox Live dashboard
