Australians can expect an update for their 360 tonight at 9pm AEST. Microsoftians will be able to twitter and facebook to their hearts content but more interestingly have access to videos on demand.
Movies On Demand is actually our most sought feature as we’re promised 1080p streaming video as well as the ability to stream as part of a party of friends, all watching the same movie at the same time; you can even communicate with one another (though in theory that means wearing your headset while watching the movie – methinks Microsoft needs something like the Wii Speak microphone).
According to Microsoft, locally we’ll have access to more than 100 movies with each coming in at 240 Microsoft Points (or around AU$4), which isn’t too bad – it’s cheaper than Foxtel last time I checked).
Now all I need is my ISP to let me download that unmetered :S
