Obviously MS don't realise it's 2007 yet.

MadFruit · 9 Jan 2007 at 11:21

Or that is last years update?

Was in the middle of playing BFME2 when the prompt came up to install. Hopefully something good in it

Yeah, that link is for last years update.

EDIT: Perhaps something to do with todays GoW update?

Epic Games will roll out an update for Gears of War Tuesday January 9, 2007, ahead of the release of the Map Pack 1.

Here is a list of what was addressed in this update:

* Fixed aspect ratio distortion when using VGA cable with 4:3 displays at resolutions higher than 640x480
* Fixed voice issue with new players joining Player Match games in progress
* Players can now get the Achievement for "Dish Best Served Cold" when using Troika turret to kill RAAM
* Fixed rare situation where host could loop countdown and never start match
* Fixed rare situation where players could get stuck after chainsawing in multiplayer
* Reduced Grenade Tag melee distance
* Enabled “Strict” NAT check on host to prevent possible connection issues
* Optimized server browser queries to return results more quickly and prevent scroll bars from hiding quality of service icons
* Reduced number of possible revives in Execution to match Warzone
* Removed host name from Ranked match server browser
* Disabled security cameras in Ranked matches
* Ranked matches now require balanced teams (3v3 or 4v4)
* Increased penalty for quitting a Ranked match to -50 points
* Added additional cheat detection code
* Additional housekeeping updates

I got the update without ever having a GoW disc in my 360.

Those of you who have turned on your 360s today (in the US at least) were prompted to download an update. We've had a few people asking if we know what it was all about. To put it simply, we don't. We've asked Major Nelson for an official explanation. He assures us that an explanation is forthcoming, just as soon as he gets details from Redmond (Major is at CES right now). We'll give you the details as soon as we have them. Just curious, has anyone outside the US received this update?
