Microsoft is about to expand features to be used on its XBOX 360 consoles. It won’t only be used to play excellent games to help relieve stress, but it will also become a tool that will connect its users to social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

This new feature is scheduled to be launched sometime this week.

Taking benefit of the new feature is fairly easy. Users will only need to utilize it through the XBOX LIVE feature, which is built into their XBOX 360 consoles.

If it’s true, it means that Facebook and Twitter users will no longer have to turn on their PC every time they need to update their Facebook or Twitter status messages. They could do it through their gaming consoles.

XBOX LIVE itself is a service provided by Microsoft for its XBOX 360 users, which has become a connecting platform between its users and the Internet. Through this feature, XBOX 360 users may also play their games in multiplayer mode online with other users/players from all over the world.

“We’ve seen tremendous response from users of this new feature”, said XBOX LIVE General Manager Marc Whitten, as quoted from the DetikINET, Tuesday (17/11/2009).

Microsoft seems to be working hard in creating this new feature. This is no doubt due to the competition in the gaming console industry, which seem to be getting hotter from time to time. As we all know, there is several players in the gaming console war, including Nintendo with its Nintendo Wii and Sony with its PlayStation consoles range.
