Xbox Live Update: ‘A New Entertainment Experience’

I
hope you weren’t too comfortable with the existing Xbox Live Dashboard, because
come December 6th, Microsoft is deploying a new update for the service which
will bring a ‘newly designed user interface… expanded voice control with Kinect,
and the first group of new entertainment customer applications’.  The intention is to beef up the Xbox 360’s
capabilities as a voice-controlled media centre, with the ability to navigate
easily through menus using either your voice or gestures thanks to the Kinect
hardware.

According to the press release, ‘New, customized applications for television, movies, internet videos, sports and music will begin rolling out from world-leading providers in more than 20 countries’, which makes quite clear Microsoft’s intention to position the 360 as the main media center of most homes.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Director Wants More Frequent Releases

With Final Fantasy XIII-2 just around the corner, it may come as a surprise that if director Yoshinori Kitase had things his way, there would be a new Final Fantasy game every 1-2 years, a la Call of Duty orAssassin’s Creed
