It’s almost Christmas and Microsoft have a nice present for all of us Xbox owners. The new dashboard has been confirmed for launches on 6th December to all Xbox Live members.
The free update redesigns the Xbox 360 interface style, bringing it in-line with Microsoft's Windows and Windows Phone products to allow Microsoft to push their connectivity in the future.
The update also adds Kinect style functionality and cloud saving for Xbox Live Gold members. New apps are expected to launch too, including those from the BBC and LoveFilm.
You can still use the Xbox 360 controller to flick between channels that will now be displayed on the top of the screen, alternatively you can use your voice and hands to navigate and search through motion-sensing add-on Kinect.
Under the new Social channel you'll find Beacons, which allow gamers to signpost what they're doing across XBL and Facebook. Facebook posting is also added, which means you'll be able to "like" a game or send Achievements to the social network.
All of this information was found at Kotaku as Microsoft have yet to confirm.
