The Guild and Sears commercial star Felicia Day today appeared on-stage during Microsoft's E3 2009 Media Briefing to demonstrate Facebook for the Xbox 360.

Using the New Xbox Experience interface, users can browse the various aspects of the social networking site, including photos, messages, friends, status updates, and so on.

Left, Twitter. Right, Facebook.

Facebook users will be able to post screenshots and text from in-game with new Facebook Connect functionality, with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2010 set to use Connect.

Twitter will also be coming to Xbox 360, enabling users to browse and post "tweets" directly from their Xbox 360.

Both Facebook and Twitter will be coming to Xbox Live sometime this fall.

Could be fun, very rarely. But I expect the 360 interface will just get in the way and make it painful.

Sweet now I can call my family and co-workers fags, and trade in a much nicer interface for something so small and shitty.
