According to Microsoft marketing executive James Halton, XBL users will soon have access to Facebook and Twitter via their Xbox 360s "before Christmas," in line with expectations.
"A lot of the background work's been done for a lot of the applications that are coming," says Halton, via Eurogamer. "It will be before Christmas."
The exec did rule out that the services could be integrated into the upcoming August dashboard update, but said they would be available afterwards, and separately.
The functionality was first showed off at the E3 event earlier this year.
Says GI.biz, "the services will enable users to link Xbox Live friends with their Facebook profiles, share photos ad status updates and capture in-game moments to upload instantly to a Facebook application."
