If you're playing hooky from work or school today to get in some quality time with Halo 3: ODST, you know that a mandatory system update is putting a pause on your action. Major Nelson reports that the new system update doesn't bring any immediate changes to the Dashboard and only prepares some backend support for the upcoming additions of Twitter, Facebook and Last.fm to Xbox Live later this year.
Oh, and if you do decide to link up your Twitter and Facebook accounts to your Xbox 360 when that update launches, be careful about faking sick when the next Halo rolls out. We'd hate for your boss or principal to find out you're all too well "pwning n00bs!"

What about banning this guy? This is the type of guys that I really hate on the Internet, the first thing is pretty immature.

Yeah.. you know, I mainly use Facebook to flirt with girls I haven't seen since high school. A couple of them might, but I don't think most of them really want to know that I got 100% on Pac-Man CE.
Last.fm would be better if it could actually run in the background while I'm playing a game, but I'm still looking forward to it. I don't have a standalone CD player/stereo, so I can see myself using the 360's Last.fm app to stream some awesome music on my good speakers.

Technically he didn't say first, he said fist thinking people would let it slide.

How about removing all the bloat and waste from the 360 dashboard instead of adding more to it?

Thank you for letting us know what someone else thought they were doing and how they thought it would be received by us...

Three services I don't use. Excellent.
It's a nice idea, though.

I have my MSN Messenger linked to my Facebook so whenever I update my MSN status it applies it to FB. A side effect of this was that whenever I used MSN on the 360, my FB status was updated when I played a game or watched a video. The constant spam annoyed my friends so I decided to turn it off.
