XBLA social update adds "News and More"

Xbox Live's upcoming social update (Facebook, Twitter, Last.fm) may bring more features than first expected.

Behind-closed-doors testers have revealed a "News and More" tab on the Inside Xbox channel. Linked only with the US, this streams content from MSNBC, MSN Autos, The New Yorker and Dilbert.

Furthermore, the channel promises a "surprise" in the weeks after the preview launches, according to Kotaku. It's so exciting.

The social update is expected to arrive before Christmas, although nothing has been set in stone.
