A week ago Microsoft launched new social media features that allowed users to access Facebook, Twitter and LastFM via Xbox Live. Just seven days later, Microsoft says millions of people are using the features.
The Facebook feature has been used the most with company spokesperson David Dennis detailing that the first-week figures show that at least 2 million Xbox Live users have logged into Facebook. CNET cites Dennis as saying 120 million minutes of music were streamed from Last.fm and half a million Last.fm accounts were created in the first 24 hours of availability. While there were no specifics for Twitter, Dennis says there have been "tweets from nearly every market where we have Xbox Live."

I'd rather not use an xbox at all and PC for everything else

And i bet you sleep with a Play Station console..? You sound like you need a chillpill after you go out for a walk. Even if you are walked out like a dog will be good for you.
Well its really a matter of personal prefference. I used to be only PC user. Now I cant help but in some cases prefer to play some of the games on a console instead just not all ofc. Nothing can replace a PC but a console is purely for gaming ( for me at least cause lately and specially relating to the articles topic, things have taken a turn I dont like ). its all good annd whatever pleases anyone. I just dont get the hate of console gamer against PC users lately, pisses me off. And the opposite too. Anyhow...
Ive never used Twitter on my PC and Facebook Ive only made an account and accepted only a couple requests yet neverr really used it. So I deny to use it on a console. As of the new options, having more options from your services is always good. The fact that Sony is also copying yet another move of MS says a lot and its also sad if you ask me. Persoanlly if I was using any of those services I would use Twitter on the 360 cause I might have not used it but ive seen it and it looks more convinient and immidiate to contact and check msges over a console while a break from your game etc.
Still not for me.
BTW i have both system's, they both have their pro-s and con's...
Whose having fun updating their status entering text using a thumbstick?
Who wouldnt rather play one of the many FPS games on the 360 with a mouse?
Who that does the above 2, would not buy a Keyboard and Mouse to use?
So who at Microsoft thinks it is a bad idea to make more money?
My greatest concern is that the example you gave will only exacerbate the dumbing down of the English language.
Just think, in ten years time "evry1 wil rite lyk dis!".
What is XBOX Live? Oh, oh yeah. It's that POS console by MS.... Never owned one. Never will own one. Sounds like something that POS would be good for.
And i bet you sleep with a Play Station console..? You sound like you need a chillpill after you go out for a walk. Even if you are walked out like a dog will be good for you.
I have never and will never own any console as they cannot compare to what I can do on my PC so my comment is not strictly limited to Xbox but to ALL POS consoles.
And I am guessing that personal attacks are part of the mindset of console users. My words were not about console users but about POS consoles.
