Microsoft today said that its promised Xbox 360 dashboard update should go live for most users on August 11th. The software change primarily centers on Netflix and supports full queue management from the console as well as the party system for watching videos with friends. When it goes live, the patch will also have some full Xbox 360 games available to buy through Games on Demand.

The update also has user ratings for downloadable games, paid avatar clothes and a display detector to recognize the ideal resolution for a TV. Social networking components like Facebook and Twitter, as well as media features like Last.fm and instant 1080p streaming, are due in a more comprehensive fall update.
