UPDATE: We were just Tweeted by Major Nelson with the following info:
Let me straighten things out: We will not be expanding the friends list as a part of the next Xbox LIVE Update.
What a bummer.
Original Article:
According to Xbox DE on Facebook, Microsoft is preparing a new Xbox 360 update which bumps the number of allowed Xbox Live friends from 100 to a whooping 1000.
Xbox DE writes via Facebook:
Eine von vielen langjährigen Xbox LIVE Usern gewünschte Änderung war das Limit der 100 Freunde. Mit dem Update könnt ihr jetzt bis zu 1.000 Freunde eurer Freundesliste hinzufügen. Wie viele Freunde habt ihr? Nicht genug? Dann sucht euch neue über den Freunde-Finder-Reiter!
Which roughly translates to:
A lot of long-term changes were desired by Xbox LIVE users considering the limit of 100 friends. With the [new] update, you can now have up to 1,000 friends of your friends list. How many friends do you have? Not enough? Then look for new friends on the Finder tab!
We’re hoping Xbox Germany is spot-on with this one. Of course, the idea of having the notification bar pop up every few seconds is a little discouraging.
