Hey guys,

stuck at work,

Is there any news on the updated dash? it was floating around it may be out this week, today would be the last day as i hear ms never release updates on a friday.

Guessing nothing has come from it as someone would have posted about it by now lol

Going by the xbox forums, it'll be either today or tomorrow.

Nothing at the moment

Speaking from experience, don't get your hopes up. Just forget about it and it'll come

The 360 rumourmill tends to go quickly out of control most of the time.

any ideas when ?

I'll never understand why you all get uppity about an update like this :s

EezerGoode · 1 Jun 2006 at 20:41

Its annoying as most of the stuff included in the update should have been there from day one.

It's packed with features. Check out the major nelson podcast where he interviews the chap behind it all. It's not just a simple 'update', theres new additions and tweaks thrown all over the place - MS have been listening to the feedback and much to my amazement, acted on it in a huge way.

I hope they look at dvd playback in future because the quality is dire.

I've already seen it and still don't get the excitement.

Does it really matter if people get excited over an update or not?

Yewen · 1 Jun 2006 at 21:50

Will be a handy update, although I am with Kreeeee on the not really exciting front.

Good idea on the DVD playback, seemed quite poor when I tried Underworld, seemed to be running at a low frame rate, although it was on my knackered console.

happy about the streamlining etc but theres nowt on the MM worth dloading so what good is background downloading atm. Should have come on its own as a pre E3 prezzie tbh

Yewen · 2 Jun 2006 at 01:57

Oh well looks like it has not been released yet.

My money is on Tuesday, based on no information at all.

True....

I think I have downloaded all I want to off the marketplace, still a good feature to have as the marketplace get's busier and busier when MS go mad around the PS3 launch!!

Yewen · 2 Jun 2006 at 10:52

Having just got the console I could really do with the download manager.

Got MotoGP demo over night so I am hoping it is as good as the original one was on PC.

geordie10 · 2 Jun 2006 at 12:54
