Inside Xbox now available for Canadians

Up until this point, Inside Xbox (a new feature of the Fall 2007 dashboard update) was restricted to American and UK accounts – although not ISP-locked, since my American profile could access the content with no problem. Now, the feature seems to be available for Canadians, and actually offers some exclusive Canadian content in the blades. Here are a few pictures of the interface and updated dashboard.

Note that the official Xbox.ca site doesn’t seem to have details on this development yet, but it’s welcome news for Canadian accounts (which previously had Messages and Friends as two separate UI icons, as before the Fall Update hit in the US.)
