Spotted this on Xboxic this morning. It has a video which shows what to expect soon. Looks like they've slightly sped up the dashboard too, as well as a cleaned up marketplace which is less muddled then before. It's well worth a look at the vid.

This is just what we need. It's good to see MS acting on the feedback and implementing whatever they can without it falling over. I love the fact they're working on getting more performance out of the dashboard while adding in new features. Divx support now plz

It could get delayed yeah. Looks like Sept is the release date for now though.

Blimey, the update is bigger then I originally expected. Looking forward to that dvd fix.

Just got it, and am messing around with the console settings atm.

You can disable dashboard sound effects! \

/me goes to check dvd playback
Edit: Playback is awesome, it's all I wanted for the 360 and now I've got it

Im over the moon with the DVD playback now.

It was my main complaint about the 360, and now at last I can actually watch all me dvds, without having to use resource hogging pc apps to do so.

Edit: w00t! Even dvds that had lip sync issues work perfectly now (pirates of caribbean, highlander etc)

Couldnt see in this thread; but does this update format your drive or are you two chatting about something else?

Nah, its just a bog standard ridiculously large update written to eprom. Nothing to do with the HD at all.

Mine is the joytech and I can see a clear improvement. Colors just seem more vibrant.
