Microsoft will offer select Xbox Live members a glimpse at the autumn Dashboard update next week, reports out sister site Eurogamer.net.

On show will be Netflix video streaming, the Avatar marketplace, Xbox Live Parties and more. The only features not included are Last.fm, Facebook and Twitter integration, plus the Zune HD instant-on videos.

The Xbox 360 games on demand service, which offers titles like Mass Effect for download, will be previewed in early August.

The full autumn Dashboard update itself usually arrives around November time. A full list of autumn Dashboard changes can be found here.
