Xbox 360 Getting Hotmail, RSS Support, and More?

Microsoft is rumored to bring Hotmail, Windows Live Mail, Live Messenger video chat and support for "motion sensor devices" to the Xbox 360 as part of a spring update. Every spring and fall Microsoft releases a large update and this year it is no different as Kotaku received a supposed insider e-mail containing a list of 80 new features being added to the console.

Most of the rumored updates and added features are pretty trivial, but the big addition will be supports for Hotmail, video chat for the already-supported Live Messenger and added support for "Web feeds," which we can only assume is RSS support.

Worth Getting Excited About?

Rumor or not, Microsoft adding Hotmail support to the Xbox 360 isn't too shocking. In a prior update, the company added support for MSN Messenger to the console. One particular item to note is that this update will give MSN Messenger support for the Xbox Live Vision camera and the Xbox 360 headset, which will make using the console's MSN Messenger a little more feasible given the lack of a keyboard on the Xbox 360.

Now, we have no control if you feel guilty received an e-mail from your mom or your pastor while shooting up a church in Grand Theft Auto IV.
