Microsoft has confirmed the new dashboard update for Xbox 360 will be available before the launch of Kinect in November.

Xbox Live's Ijaz Akram revealed the news to GamerZines while talking about the future of Xbox Live and how the “right level of engagement” between the community is needed to take the platform forward.

He explained, "You'll see that when we launch on November 10th with Kinect and soon before that we'll have a new dashboard update with all the great new features that come as part of Kinect and make Live a really good experience."

Akram couldn't give a release date though saying Microsoft hasn't decided a date yet. The new update will come with a new dashboard specifically designed for the motion controller including the ability to play movies using your hands gestures and voice.

Kinect launches in the UK on 10 November and will retail for £129.99 GBP.
