I have to admit that after Microsoft’s E3 press conference on Monday, they are definitely a hard act to follow. Gaming will always be the bread and butter on the 360 but their relentless efforts to flourish in the social media sector and integrating that experience into the 360 is just getting more attractive with every update. I think it’s time to renew my Xbox Live Gold membership! Coming this fall only on the 360, you will be able to log into your facebook with a design specific interface for Xbox gamers.
Friend Linker allows you to see your facebook friends and your Xbox Live friends together. You’ll be able to see their entire gamer profile and achievements and then invite them to Xbox Live.
Another neat feature will be the ability to post screen shots, scores and text from your 360 gamertag to your facebook profile in real time directly through your gaming experience. One of the first participating titles will be Tiger Woods PGA Tour for the 360 with its facebook connect feature.
Twitter is finally coming to a gaming console and so far, it seems as if the PS3 is yet again falling behind with its social features. (More on Sony’s Press Conference soon.) Just like the 360′s facebook feature, twitter comes completely redesigned for the Xbox by using your avatar. Very cool.
