UK Specific Dashboard details...
Microsoft's confirmed the UK-specific additions included in the just-released Xbox 360 Dashboard update.
The Blighty upgrades include improvements to Sky Player, Zune Marketplace and more.
Sky Player now features a brand new interface, plus fresh community features allowing users to recommend their favourite TV shows to their friends and create their own customised planner, says MS.
From today, Live members in the UK can also buy movies from the Zune Marketplace to own permanently, for use on the big screen via Xbox Live or on a PC or Windows Phone 7.
The new Dashboard also sees the introduction of Zune Music, which allows 360 users to purchase a Zune Pass subscription (£8.99 per month) and stream unlimited music from the Zune catalogue to their TV . Users can build their own playlists or let Smart DJ do it for them using the music they already like, says MS.
Gaming families (we know you're out there) might also be interested in the Xbox Live Gold Family Pack, which from this month offers up to four individual Xbox Live Gold memberships for £69.99.

Is that family hold still tied to one machine or to the gamertags? If just the machine its not worth it

I believe it can be spread across multiple consoles, good for a house like mine running 4 360's

If so then it is a good deal and well worth looking into if circumstances require it.

Re: UK Specific Dashboard details...
how would they monitor a membership across multiple consoles? Via your IP address?

There must be some method in place to register the GT's the subs relate to I would guess

Re: UK Specific Dashboard details...

Re: UK Specific Dashboard details...
Good idea there Chris.......surely they have covered that one though........haven't they?
Re: UK Specific Dashboard details...
It seems that the only restriction around the family gold is that the consoles must be in the same country!
Still waiting for the FAQ to go live but I'll post it up here and we might be able to arrange groups of four for this, also it seems any remaining gold time on accounts added to this get spread across all accounts.
