Xbox Germany: Xbox Live friend limit to increase to 1000?Published by forahobby on Thursday, October 14, 2010 Tagged: Gaming, Live Arcade, Live Marketplace, Xbox 360, Xbox Live, There have been alot of rumors flying around the net this week about the increase of the Xbox LIVE Friends list to 1000 friends. Plans to increase the friends limit with this Novembers Kinect Dashboard update have now been shot down in flames. We will just have to wait for the future announcement.
It looks like our brilliant plan to stop playing Halo 2 (which was helped along by Microsoft's removal of Live support for Xbox 1 games) worked! According to a deleted Facebook announcement from Xbox Germany, the friend list cap on Xbox Live is being boosted from a paltry 100 to a ridiculous 1,000.
Strangely, neither the embiggened friend list cap nor the "Finder tab" are present in our preview version of the upcoming Dashboard update. We're still locked in to the smaller, more intimate, friend limit. We're checking with Microsoft now to determine when this update will roll out to you and the masses of people waiting to be muted by you.
Update: It appears that the "Finder tab" feature refers to the "friend finder" on the Xbox Facebook site; not a part of the Dashboard.
Update 2: Major Nelson tweets,"We will not be expanding the friends list as a part of the next Xbox Live Update." That's not to say the friends list cap won't eventually be tweaked -- merely that it's not one of the changes included in the pending fall update.
Facebook announcement (Xbox Germany):
A lot of long-term change was desired by Xbox LIVE users the limit of 100 friends. With the update you can now up to 1,000 friends of your friends list. How many friends do you have? Not enough? Then you looking for new friends on the Finder tab!"
