X-box Live’s general manager Marc Whitten confirmed that on November 17th X-box Live users will be able to able to the use Facebook and Twitter on their X-box 360.

Will anyone plan on using this service? I’m not really into Facebook or Twitter, but it seems like if I did a PC would already be enough for these services.

X-box Live Gold members will be able to grab Resident Evil 5‘s Versus mode this week at a 40% discount. I don’t know if or when this deal will come to PSN. If its not already up then keep an eye on the US PlayStation Store update that usually hits on Wednesdays.   The deal isn’t available in Japan though, so if you live in Japan you will be out of luck when it comes to Resident Evil. Instead Golf: Tee It Up is up for 400 points.

If you want a chance to get a early look at the upcoming  Zune, Facebook, or Twitter features for X-box 360 then step right up. Major Nelson announced on his blog that all X-box LIVE members (including all regions that support X-box Live) can sign up to try to get into a preview update.

All you have to do to enter is fill out a survey for them, but not all entrants will be accepted. If you are accepted you will recieve an e-mail in about a week confirming that you can join in the preview update. X-box LIVE silver members can join in too, but Gold members will be given priority.

You can find out all the details on how to enter here.

Over the weekend X-box.com updated it’s UK page with the date “November 17th” listed for face book and Twitter support. Since then the date has been changed to “Autumn 2009″.  The damage has been done though. There is not much Microsoft can do at this point except deny the date was ever listed until they announce it or release the update.
