Xbox users offered social network download

David Gibbon
"Microsoft Xbox 360 owners will soon be able to connect with more than 260 million Windows Live Messenger users after the publisher revealed plans to unveil a new download in May.

The US giant has created software allowing Xbox 360 users, Windows-based PCs and Windows Mobile-powered devices to chat with each other more easily via Windows Live Messenger, which features more than 20 billion relationships and more than 260 million active accounts.

The Xbox 360 Spring Update will provide Xbox 360 owners worldwide with access to Windows Live Messenger features, broadening the communication options on the Xbox Live social network. Members of the 6 million-strong Xbox Live community currently send more than 2 million text and voice messages a day and can now use Windows Live Messenger to text chat with up to six people on their contact list at one time, while playing games, listening to music or watching movies."

I think this will be an interesting exercise for gaming & social network research...
