Improved! Metro-powered! <a title=\"System Information\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/19882-Xbox-360\">Xbox <\/a>dashboard update will be going live on 6 December, just when you finally got used to the last dashboard update.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps most significantly, the new dashboard includes a new cloud storage service for saves and gamertags (exclusive to <a title=\"Term Information\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/19908-Xbox-LIVE-%28XBL%29\">Xbox LIVE<\/a> Gold subscribers, nyah, nyah), as well as new voice control options for <a title=\"Term

href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/20971-YouTube\">YouTube<\/a> channel, and a megaload of new TV and film channel apps that won\u2019t be supported locally.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also the new social networking \u201cBeacons\u201d feature which has already launched on Xbox.com, and lets users flag games they\u2019re looking to play online, posts notifications to <a title=\"Company Information\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/20155-Facebook\">Facebook<\/a>, and probably a bunch of other things that nobody is ever actually going to use but look nice on a press release.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry \u2013 the most important thing is that you\u2019ll still be able to switch it on, put in a disc, and play a game.<\/p>\n<h5>Source: <a
