Xbox.com has confirmed an update to the 360 dashboard available on Aug. 11, tons of new features are included along with a new look. The most interesting addition is the Xbox Live Games on Demand Service, where users can download full games on to their hard drive. The first games to be available are BioShock, Mass Effect, Assassin’s Creed and LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga. The Avatar Marketplace is also another new feature added into the new update. Users will be able to get new items for their avatars, storefronts will appear with stuff from each game. As usual xbox will be charging. Avatar Awardables is a feature that awards you the player for completing an achievement with a new item of clothing for their avatar.

Microsoft will be joining the social networking scene by integrating Twitter, Facebook and Last.fm into the account system. Account holders will also be able to stream movies in 1080p, this is great for people with top internet providers, but another thing to miss out on for others. In North America, Netflix Party Support arrives, allowing multiple friends to watch streaming movies together.
