Digital Trends - Announced on the official Xbox.com blog, the Xbox 360 team at Microsoft has replaced the “My Xbox” section of the site with a section of the site simply called “Social”. Users will immediately be directed to the new Social page when logging into the Xbox site with a gamertag. While the look of the site has changed slightly, the most notable addition within this new social push is access to the Beacon feature that’s included in the upcoming Xbox 360 dashboard update. Beacon is a hybrid of a message and a notification that lets other players know that a user wants to play a game immediately or sometime in the future. For instance, a Xbox Live member could leave a Beacon for another player asking to play multiplayer in Gears of War 3 later that evening.

Digital Trends - Contained within the new Xbox Live Terms of Use, Microsoft added clauses that prevent users to bring a class-action lawsuit against the company in regards to changes in the Xbox Live service. These new sections were added prior to the release of the Fall 2011 dashboard update that rolled out last night. Similar to Apple’s process of agreeing to new terms within iTunes, Xbox 360 owners are presented with the new conditions when installing the changes to the dashboard layout. Xbox 360 owners have the right to reject the new language, but they must notify Microsoft in writing within the first month of the change.

Digital Trends - While media companies like Comcast and Verizon are anxiously awaiting the potential November 15 release of the Xbox 360 dashboard update, Microsoft’s Xbox team is furiously working to create a version of Silverlight to stream content to users. According to Gigaom, the code name for the project is Lakeview and contains a variety of new actions for the Xbox 360 Kinect system including more gesture and voice controls. Microsoft is rolling out different revisions of Lakeview for third-party developers to test prior to the launch of the Fall update. Ideally, this initial framework should allow developers to build video apps for the Xbox 360 console without significant assistance from Microsoft.
