Oft-requested Xbox LIVE announcement coming later today [Update]

Eric Neustadter, Director of Architecture for Xbox LIVE Operations, is teasing an announcement arriving later today that he’s “really excited for”. Apparently, it’s something that a lot of people have been asking for. Judging by his position and his tweet, we’re going to assume it’s a new Xbox LIVE feature.

“Really excited for an announcement coming later today… it’s something many of you have asked for,” he wrote on Twitter. “#NotTheBiggerFriendsListThough”

So? Thoughts? If it’s not a bigger friends list, then what could it be? I’m pretty sure the bigger friends list is what everyone’s been asking for.

Update 10:07pm: Apparently, the Xbox LIVE announcement was made a few hours ago. We’ve searched the net and only found two possibilities as to what they might be:

• Xbox LIVE Gamertags go zombie and rise from the dead
• Microsoft Launches Newsletter Showing Scary Stats

Either way, both are pretty insignificant, unless you had your eye on a new gamertag, that is.
