PCMag.Com - Microsoft is adding some new social and streaming video features to Xbox.com and the software giant is bracing Xbox Live users for what looks to be a fairly significant navigation revamp which includes the elimination of “My Xbox.”
“In the coming days, the familiar ‘My Xbox’ section of Xbox.com is going away,” Microsoft’s Denny Atkin told Xbox Live members in an official Xbox.com blog post this week. “Fear not: It’s being replaced with a significant update that will make it even easier to see what your friends are doing on Xbox Live.”
Replacing My Xbox will be a new section called “Social,” which adds access to Microsoft’s new Beacons feature, a tool that lets users tag games they want to play with other Xbox 360 gamers as well as serving as social networking platform for friends on Xbox Live.
Beacons is part of Microsoft’s next big Xbox 360 dashboard update. Other new stuff coming down the pike includes access to the Zune video catalog, which will allow Xbox Live users to use their browser to buy movies and television shows. More
