Twitter, Facebook and Last.fm were announced to be coming to the Xbox 360 some time ago and yet the features have yet to go live. Today, it was made known that that both features will officially go live on November 17th.

News come to us from the UK Xbox website that clearly states “Service launches 17th November 2009″. So, for you Twitter addicts out here, you now have another option to update the world on your every move.

The new 1.4 firmware is now available for the Nintendo DSi. This firmware deems flash cards useless. All pirates are advised not to update if they want to keep using their ROMs and such.

Back in March, Nintendo revealed plans to expand to social networking options. Today, Nintendo has released a new application for the Nintendo DSi which allows players to upload their photos directly to Facebook.

To get setup, you need to link your DSi with your Facebook account via Facebook Connect. Once that’s done, a Facebook logo will appear on top of your photos. Users are allowed to upload entire albums at once (200 photos), and every photo after that, a new album is created.

The firmware is only exclusive to Japan, Europe, and Australia. No word on when the update will be released for North America.

Speaking at an event, Microsoft marketing employee James Halton said that the company was aiming for a Fall debut of Facebook and Twitter integration for the Xbox 360.

“It will be before Christmas,” Halton said. “A lot of the background work’s been done for a lot of applications that are coming.”

The recent preview of the Xbox Live dashboard was missing these upcoming social networking tools, so we don’t know exactly how they’ll work with the user interface just yet. As previously mentioned, these tools will not be included in the August 11th update.
