The next generation is creeping up on us ever so quickly. It seems that only a little while ago, the press and fans alike were wondering what the new consoles would look like - and the features that they would include.

In the video, Microsoft’s Director of Programming for Xbox Live Larry Hryb, otherwise known as Major Nelson, walks through the revamped Friends app. On top of that he also covers exactly how the community works.
