Everybody wants one, but no one knows when its comin'. A friggin dashboard update for the Xbox 360. It was supposed to come out yesterday! Well whenever it comes (hopefully very, very soon) it will fix all the little things we gamers don't really like about the dashboard. Here is the full story courtesy of IGN:
Microsoft's Xbox Live service is due for repairs, said a post on the Xbox message board today.
The user went hunting through Microsoft's support Web site today and uncovered several links to planned updates. The updates include active downloads, which will allow you to play games, watch movies or hang out on the dashboard while you download content. Gone are the days of staring at the progress bar inching to the right of your screen.
Also, probably due to the requests of 360 users everywhere, the 360 will now have an option to boot directly to the dashboard, even if a game or movie is already in the console. Reportedly, you can toggle this option on or off, which is a small yet welcome change.
MS also has plans to update DVD playback but the post does not go into detail on future change. We are going to go ahead and assume that you will still be able to play DVD movies.
These changes were slated to be released for download May 23 but no patch or update has been released. We can only assume that a patch will be released this summer. MS isn't ready to shed light on the subject, however. The links to the support pages have been taken down and no one was available for comment at press time.
