What would you honestly get out of Facebook on Xbox 360?

Your friends could know what games you're playing at the moment? You could chat with your facebook friends while playing xbox live? I really don't know what features there are for the 360 facebook app.

It will add a new way to keep up with your friend's status and updates, and plus it will notify your friends that have an Xbox 360 that you are online playing, so they may jump into the fun as well! Honestly, how will it take away your gaming experience?

I think the most useful features that it could have are Facebook/Xbox LIVE chat, Facebook viewable leaderboards, and Linking your account so your friends will be able to friend request you on xbox from facebook. Dont really needit though..

Really? Who cares? Why are we complaining about a service that is mostly likley going to be free?

I'm interested in how they implement it. I'm hoping it's more than just a way to access Facebook on the 360. I'd like to see some deeper integration.

I'm not saying or asking what this feature will take from us, but what it will do for us. I mean yes its free but why would XBL developers go through the work to implement it?NicAgent

I don't know. Usually when you go on Facebook, ure typing. Typing on Xbox = Pain in the ass.

it's simply just there to attract the casual crowd.

Facebook in general equals useless.

maybe when you get an achievement, you'll be able to instantly post in on FB (as an option) like you can post achievements in so many FB application games (i.e Bejewelled Blitz, etc...)

Facebook in general equals useless.

That is if you dont have friends... I have many friends and schoolmates that i wouldnt know existed anymore if it wasnt for facebook!

I wouldn't use it, because I don't use Facebook.

I'm more looking forward to the twitter app rather than the FB app.

It's simply another selling point for the Xbox 360. Like someone else stated, it wants to be the all-in-one machine.

Personally, I won't be using it, but it's still an interersting idea.

i personally like the feature. my wife likes to use the PC while i am on the xbox, so this just gets rid of the heartache of having to steal the PC when I want to look at my facebook stuff.

I would just check it once or twice and possibly update once or twice.

why do so many people have their panties in a wad about this??? They're putting facebook on the 360, ADDING another feature that's kinda cool. Will it take away from your "video gaming experience"? :(PuddinPant

It's true that no one should be bad-mouthing this new feature ... because seriously, just don't use it.

I know for me, I'll just carry on like it was never made (that includes Twitter, too).

I mean you use an Xbox 360 primarily for gaming, and other video content like Netflix. Since practically anyone wealthy enough to have an Xbox 360 and Xbox LIVE has a computer with internet access, what would you do with a Facebook feature out of the Xbox dashboard? IMO Facebook apps for your Xbox LIVE career is enough. Can't wait for last.fm radio though.NicAgent

Facebook on xbox live would be geared towards connecting gamers even mopre than they are. Gamertags are shallow whereas the facebook pages have a lot of depth and people could interact more fluidly. Or its just a plan by microsoft to introduce facebook addicts to video games. Either way I won't be using it. I think facebook is stupid.

I don't care about facebook or twitter. I'm sure it will broaden the audience a little for xbox, and it might make some of my facebook friends aware that I'm on Live, but I'm not going to be on it much. facebook isn't a place where I usually talk about my gaming much, so maybe a few will frind request me after the update, but who knows. I'm more excited about last.fm.

The biggest thing I'm worried about is the dashboard slowing down even more than it already is. I don't know how they are going to add more stuff and not slow it down, but that already frustrates me.

Social network sites get used alot. What if I wanna tell 300+ people i have all vidmasters achievments with a push of a button.sasdx

well you see, the people who only use their 360 to play games are stuck in the early 90's of gaming. Systems like the 360 and ps3 are not game specific consoles, they've become media centers, my 360 is used constantly to stream movies and television from my computer, i use MSN on my 360 (the chatpad is a glorious invention, and it's only $30), i play games, download movies and shows, keep up with game related news, i stream music from my computer, have music saved on the hard drive, hell if I could make pancakes with my 360 i'd do that too.

I didn't spend $350 to buy a box that only collects dust until i plug an $80 disc into it. right now it seems that only 3 sites (and torrents) draw me all the way to the computer, with facebook available on xbox, that's down to 2 sites and torrents.

I'd rather have a browser though, seriously.

Whats wrong with adding some cool new features, it's not taking away anything from you. It's there to use it if you want to, or not.Kaos39

Exactly. Obviously Microsoft have realised the popularity of both Facebook and Twitter, and implemented both on to the 360. You can say the same about every other feature on the 360 (from avatars to messenger).

It's not gonna' affect your gamin' experience, so don't get your panties in a bunch.:P

JK mods ('bout the panties part)

I'd rather not. It seems creepy. Remember kids, don't creep it real.

Xbox 360 can stream video from Netflix. Now you can acces Facebook. So why doesnt it have a Web brower yet?

I dont have a facebook account, so this doesnt effect me, its kinda cool though, good for the people who want to use it. I am still waiting for the web browser, even the wii has one.

I'm not gonna use it

I'll become the coolest kid in school with this app! Everyone will know what I'm playing! w00t
