So, during E3 of 2009, Microsoft stated that it would be releasing a dashboard update to include intigration of both Twitter and Facebook to their console the XBox 360. The even had executives demo both the abilities that you’d have moving from the 360’s dashboard to and through the Facebook portal and Twitter portal and back. No real date had been givin for the release of the portals until now.

Appearantly, these releases will be available before Christmas this year in all regions. No real word on Last.fm but it’s safe to say that it will be released around the time that Facebook and Twitter are released. What is said about Last.fm and the other two is that they are going to all be seperately downloadable and all released at different times. I guess this is to save hard disc space for those who don’t want one or all of these. (Or so Microsoft won’t get hammered with complaints from all three being buggy all at once.)

Whatever the case is, I’m kinda looking forward to these being released. I don’t own a 360 but the more features for a console, usually the better. (I don’t include the Vitality Sensor as a feature.)
