Xbox Dashboard Update: I know, I know. it’s a bit of a dull topic but this one’s a biggie. Some time in late November, Xbox Live will bring a whole crapload of TV and film streaming services to your console. Most of them will require some sort of subscription or purchase while others will also require Xbox Gold. iPlayer and 4 On Demand will both be coming as well and presumably remain free. Check out the details on Xbox.com but be warned – a lot of those services are US-only. UK gamers will get Channel 4, Channel 5, BBC, Sky, LOVEFiLM, MSN, YouTube, Blinkbox, Sky and Muzu as well as some other services but we’ve no real details on pricing yet :\
