Microsoft scored a coup last November when it debuted Netflix movies on the Xbox 360. Now it’s Facebook’s turn. Microsoft will now integrate the Facebook social network into the Xbox 360 dashboard. You can now view photos, make friends, and otherwise interact on Facebook directly from the game console.

Facebook Connect will be integrated. That means you can post screen grabs of your exploits in games on Facebook from within games such as Electronic Arts’ Tiger Woods golf game. You can also post on the micro-messaging service Twitter live from the Xbox Live game dashboard, so that you can Tweet your friends while playing games. Both are coming this fall.

It’s also music’s turn. Last.fm, a music discovery service with more than 30 million members, will come to Xbox Live this fall.

The music service will be free of charge for Xbox Live Gold members, who pay $50 subscription fees. Sky will also offer live TV on the Xbox 360 in the fruition of Microsoft’s IPTV strategy in the United Kingdom. And it will integrate Zune HD videos into Xbox Live.

Also, now Microsoft will be able to stream video and movies to Xbox 360s with “instant on.” That means even 1080p high-definition videos can be viewed instantly, with no download time delays, over Xbox Live. You can also join other friends in a virtual room to watch movies with distant friends at the same time.
