Xbox 360 Spring Dashboard Update Video: May 7th release

Gamespot leaked this video of the Xbox 360 spring update. Of course the video was quickly pulled but with the wonders of youtube we are now able to watch the video in all it's glory. The video is 1 min 32 sec in length and reveals the release date as May 7th, tells of new download manager options, new features with Windows Live, and Achievement refinements.

Wow, can't wait.

I'm really wondering how they're going to intergrate the Windows Live and MSN Messenger features. Though the upgrade to the download manager is a nice perk.

[Drew]

You can choose to have them on or off. It's completely optional.

nothin real big for me. I was hopin they would add in a party chat with voice for the dash.

[Kyur4ThePain]

I can just imagine...

[Mikey_Gee]

I was thinking the same thing when I heard that. I love my 360 ... but my fans will stay on thanks !!

They REALLY need to add a folder view when you are browsing videos from your PC. I hate that you have a list of ALL of your videos and it doesn't list them in the folder they reside in on your PC. They've got pictures categorized by their PC folder, and they need to do the same with videos. Especially now that WMV HD is more prominent.

Save power while downloading is a great idea.

This is pretty good.. I like some of the things.. It wasnt as good as the last update but still its an update.. I dont really need the MSn thing hopefully they can get some more movie files be able to play thru service Pack besides just WMV. That would be pretty good.

Use ORB

I guess that means the Direct TV blade won't happen. They still haven't fixed my number one usability complaint. The download history is hidden away and should be listed right with active downloads and the others.

The multi chat is my fav. new feature.

[FadeToBlack]

Is the multi chat voice or text only?

[Mikey_Gee]

What multi chat ??

Did we watch the same video. Multi chat for private chat with more than one friend is something I have wanted since day one and watch for on each update ... as I said ... did we see the same video ?? I didn't see any mention of it !!

[GameJunkieJim]

But the MSN will definitely be OFF when I'm playing a game or watching a movie. I can barely deal with it as it is.

[highps3]

Microsopft doesnt know what to improve anymore just like I thought. Like is what it is. They reached the max they can do with a text based set up...

Also whats with the advertisements on your main page? They need to get rid of those..

Sorry but Home is going to kick this service's butt pretty much 100% in every area...

Only thing live has anymore is achievements which are pretty pointless and in no way represents a players skill...

For a service Ive been paying $60 a year for id expect a lot more. Your money though.

[pandarus]

$60/yr??? and what exactly does home have again? let me walk around with my queer online friends and see their trophies? give me a break.

[Sky Lazarus]

hello sony fanboy. You should sell your xbox and just keep yourself at "home" that is if you even actually have one.

[sovietsoldier]

always nice to have to stuff to be able to do.

[zonetrooper5]

Sounds pretty cool. I wonder what they will add in the Fall update?

[socomnick]

Home sounds gay I think we will have many cases of sony fanboys having cyber while looking at pictures of kratos ripped muscles.

[ben hates you]

a sims mmo buy you don't really do anything you make your self a house and see people thats it

[Dogswithguns]

You wished you can have HOME on your 360! Too bad!
