nextgenrulz will enjoy getting info from the fair and balanced MSNBC ;) MS seems to keep evolving XBL. I wonder what other surprises are in store. There have been rumors that hulu could come to XBL.

The next Xbox Live update will deliver Facebook, Twitter and Last.fm, but, Ron Popeil style, wait, there's more! According to an email from Microsoft, anyway. Get ready for news headlines and dedicated music stores in the Xbox Live dashboard.

Since Microsoft expressly said we're not forbidden from discussing this, why not? U.S. Xbox Live users in the closed preview will see a "News and More" tab in the "Inside Xbox" channel, and it will deliver "a regularly-updated stream of content from MSNBC.com, MSN Autos, The New Yorker and Dilbert.

For rhythm and music gamers, the update will also set up dedicated music stores for Lips, Guitar Hero and Rock Band.

But wait, there's more! "Surprise! - Keep an eye out in the weeks after the preview launches...you never know what might pop up," says the email.

Why doesn't MS just put a browser in the thing and give you the whole internet rather than just little chunks? Still pretty cool that they're adding it, don't get me wrong.

I agree. Its dumb that a browser doesn't come with 360.
