The Old Is New Again

Microsoft recently released information that they will come out with a new update for the Xbox 360. It will come out on Tuesday, December 6. The update will drive their new wave of accessible media entertainment.  It will add new video streaming features, such as HBO and YouTube, as well as making the entire Xbox Kinect ready. The goal of the update was to make media and gaming as accessible and easy to use as possible, as well as only needing one device to meet all media needs. So far, Microsoft and the people at Xbox have done the best at constantly updating their internet media databases. New features are constantly becoming available and more companies than ever are designing programs around gaming consoles. With this in mind, some people see the Xbox and similar consoles being bought solely for non-gaming purposes. However, most of the market will probably continue to be dominated by internet capable DVD players and cable TV. While the future of the Xbox is uncertain, it is probable that internet-based media will continue to rise in popularity. For those interested in media, the update will mean fun for the whole living room.
