Select Xbox Live Members to Get Autumn Dashboard Preview
A Few Get a Sneak Peek Next Week
by Sean

Coming this fall, your Xbox Live experience will look different. New and revamped integration of sites like Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, Last.fm, and several others, will be coming to the 360 dashboard. Beginning next week, according to Eurogamer, select Xbox Live members will get a sneak preview of a few of the new features.
The chosen few who will be getting the sneak peek will get to see the new Avatar marketplace, the Netflix video streaming area (which will allow you to add to your instant queue directly from your 360), Xbox Live parties (which will allow you to chat live with friends while watching movies- think Mystery Science Theater 3000), and a few more features. Oddly, there will be no preview (at this time) of Twitter, Facebook, Last.fm, nor the Zune HD instant-on videos.
There is no word yet on how many people will get the preview, nor how exactly Microsoft will select the ones who will. Although I'm pretty sure that my own luck isn't good enough to get me onto such an exclusive list, rest assured I will be checking my XBL messages all weekend to see if I've won a golden ticket.

Yay updates!
Those Netflix updates are really cool. Hope they actually hit the right date this time.
Cool... If I can get my freakin 360 to work long enough online!
