Facebook and Twitter for Xbox Live now dated for the UK |

Info doesn't come from an announcement, but at a short line under the ads on Xbox.com that reads, "Coming soon. Service launches 17th November 2009." Considering our experience with publishers and their official word, it's probably easier to just take it from those.

u dont see sony going around saying "hey psn has a web browser suck it m$"
does any 1 actually give a crap?
why are they making such a big deal out of it?

i think the "it does everything" commercials for the ps3 are exactly that. sony saying our system does everything, suck it m$...
if you want to know why not just give it a web browser, well one reason might be the old saying "jack of all trades, master of none". every specialized device i've ever used has out classed all-in-ones at that specific task.
do i expect the facebook app experience to match that of the website itself? no, but i do expect it surpass the experience of using the website on a game console with a web browser. the more specialized the experience the more meaningful it becomes...

i would rather use an app designed for use on a gaming console than use a website designed for use on a pc (on a game console), yes.
i don't use my mobile's browser for facebook, i use the facebook mobile app... it works better than waiting for the gfx to load and scrolling around on the site itself.
the opinion you have of it not needing to be advertised is just that, an opinion. one microsoft doesn't seem to share...
do you feel the same way about the ps3 being advertised as able to play music? hardly a next gen feature as everything but the gamecube has been able to do that for over a decade...

The laptop 10 feet from my PS3 and 360 browses the net just fine thank you, they're pointless on consoles

i've used the ps3 browser, and it didn't work well on every site. then i bought an DVI2HDMI adapter for my pc and it actually worked.... go figure, the web works like it's supposed to on a pc.
