Microsoft has revealed that the Summer update for its New Xbox Experience will arrive on August 11. If you didn't know by now, the update will bring with it a fresh batch of features, including Games on Demand, friends list sorting, unlockable Avatar awards, Netflix improvements and ... ahem ... premium Avatar clothing.
The Twitter and Last.fm additions will not, sadly, be part of the update. Microsoft has confirmed that these features will come with the fall update. Gotta keep the audience waiting for more, eh?
We'll patiently wait until next month for this update, as well as brace ourselves for the torrent of "This update bricked my Xbox 360" stories that seem to inevitably follow every major update that Microsoft makes. We'll look forward to reading all of those while paying several dollars for our Avatar's steampunk jacket!

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

As for the rest,
I am disappoint.
Guess I'll unplug the LAN untill someone confirms it's ''safe''.
Some games like call of duty 4 and halo 3 have massive fanboy drama wars. Expect ODST and Modern Warfare 2 to be at 3 stars out of 5 because of these losers 1 starring the other game "opposing" them to make their own game look better.
Sweet!
Just watch this video if you dont believe the Guide Lag is TERRIBLE.
