Microsoft to Increase Friends List Limit

News | January 13, 2009 8:07 am

Speaking to Joystiq.com, Aaron Greenberg, group product manager for Xbox and Xbox Live, has confirmed Microsoft's plans to increase the 100-friend limit. Greenber told Joystiq:

I can't commit to when that will happen, but that is something we want to do. It's definitely something we're looking at expanding and, as this social network grows, we've absolutely heard the pleas for that. It's on the list.

I have never actually had this be a problem; I would be over the limit if I never deleted any friend I ever had, but then my friends list would be a bit unruly as well. What I would like to see even more, or maybe to coincide with the raising of the friends cap is the ability to add groups in which to sort friends in. Especially with the NXE and having everyone in parties hanging out on your dashboard it gets kind of annoying to have to scroll through every single person.

When I hit 99 I realized I didnt know who 90% of the people were. I think I deleted into the low 70s now. I only play with about 7 people though.

omg i've been waiting for this since i ruled the crimson skies back on the old xbox! yea a lot of them are insignificant so they should be able to be delegated to some sort of group thing, like gow2 fanatic friends, xba friends, random dude friends, boosting friends?

Im with Hektic on the group thing. I don't have a huge friends list (apparently I'm up to 40 now) but I would like to group them so I could "sort" through them a bit better.

i think i have between 20 or 30. not sure.
every once in awhile i go through my list and delete people i haven't played with for ages.
as it stands, i only have people from here, people i work with and people back home on my list.

i like keeping it that way hahaha.
anyway, good news for some of you though. good stuff!
and yeah i'd also love groups.
