Major Nelson posted a blog today announcing the release of several new apps available on Xbox Live. As part of a continuing effort to build the console into a multimedia center, Microsoft has now released UFC on Xbox Live. This new app will allow users to watch UFC matches on their Xbox 360 in full HD.
It's apparently a white Christmas in Boletaria.
Last week Atlus announced they would be shifting the world tendency in Demon's Souls to white for the holidays. For the unfamiliar, a pure white tendency means that certain, previously inaccessible locations will be unlocked and the game will be made easier. Keep in mind that all easier means in a Demon's Souls context is that the game won't kick your ass quite as hard as it normally does.
Plus other deals in the 12 Days of Xbox promotion.
Microsoft's Major Nelson announced today that for the next 12 days, there will be a daily deal on Xbox Live. Called the 12 Days of Xbox Deals, every day will bring a new deal on a different item. However, each deal will only last for one day. The first deal is 50% off Bastion. Normally 1200 Microsoft Points or $15, for today only it will be available for 600 points or $7.50. To keep up with each day's deal, follow Major Nelson on Twitter.

The new dashboard obscures the community made titles and hinders their associated abilities.
Now that the new Xbox 360 Dashboard is live, reports are coming in that the new features of the dashboard do not extend to Xbox Live Indie Games. Both beacons and cloud storage saves aren't supported for these titles and unlike both Arcade and retail releases, these do not show up under the New Release section, making them somewhat hidden from view.
Microsoft's problems with the new dashboard continue.
As the new dashboard for the Xbox 360 is introduced to millions of gamers, some changes are upsetting users. IGN is reporting that the Party feature in the Netflix app is no longer there. This feature used to allow Xbox Live subscribers to hang out with their friends' Avatars while watching a movie or show on Netflix. Microsoft offered this statement about the feature's removal:
The DLC is called the Mediterranean Travelers Pack.
Gamestop keeps on leaking upcoming products...and here's the latest. Set for a January 24, 2012 release, new downloadable content for Assassin's Creed Revelations is coming and it's called the Mediterranean Traveler Map Pack, according to Destructoid. GameStop's listing has it retailing for $9.99.
The new update was a shaky one.
The rollout of the new Xbox 360 Dashboard has been rough. After being delayed until late last night, various problems have been reported by Xbox 360 users. Microsoft's Major Nelson stated on his twitter account that Microsoft is working on fixing the problems users are having. As of now, it appears that most, if not all of the issues have been resolved.
