GZ News Update 11/8/13: Xbox One shows off its dashboard & PS4 comes with extra goodies

Welcome fellow video game enthusiasts to GameZone's News Update. Want the latest breaking news, delivered in a quick, easy to digest way? Then look no further, and enjoy these latest headlines from the day.

See the Xbox One user interface in action

Xbox go to Hulu Plus. Xbox go to Netflix. Xbox go to friends. Xbox go home. No, you're not drunk, but you're pretty freaking awesome.

Microsoft finally released a video providing a live look at the Xbox One in action. And while switching in between apps on-the-fly isn't quite as quick as shown in the promo video released last week, it's still pretty darn fast — at least way faster than I originally thought.

Check out the TV and entertainment apps coming to Xbox One

Today, Microsoft revealed the first wave of TV and entertainment apps that will roll out on the Xbox One between November 22 at launch and spring 2014. They also showed the user interface in action in a video they released. Among the apps available in the United States are Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video and Twitch — stalwarts of the video streaming business.

PS4 includes $10 credit to PS Store and free 30-day trials to PS Plus and Music Unlimited

We're just a week away from the release of the PlayStation 4 and Sony is still throwing in added value. When you unbox your lovely next-gen console on November 15, you'll find three special promotion vouchers that give you a taste of some of the PS4 features.
