It seems as though there was a rumour flying around the internet yesterday that the new and improved Xbox 360 dashboard update was about to drop.
As we all know by now, that rumour was a big, fat load of Buuwwll-Sheeeuuuut. Some light was shed on the situation however, as one of Microsoft’s Xbox Live Editors Daniel Maher apologised for the rumour and let everyone know that it will be “actually coming sometime in November“.
So that leaves quite a specific gap then.
Kinect will be launching in the U.S. on Thursday the 4th of November which means that the update would have to happen before then. Daniel Maher said it would be coming in November which basically means that it has to come out somewhere between the 1st and 3rd, as dropping the update on launch day is probably not such a hot idea.
Keep checking back for more info and updates on the Xbox Live Fall update.

I gotta admit that I am looking forward to it being released so that I don’t have to keep downloading an update every 2 days… which takes forever.

That, and it’ll be nice to be able to voice chat with everyone again! ^_^

What is it with everyone having to prove everyone else wrong?
I have the new dashboard and I cannot voice chat with anyone who has the old dashboard. They’re using a new codec for voice, and old and new dashboards cannot voice chat with each other.

Lame.
I was looking forward to the new dashboard update coming on the 28th, even though I’m not getting a kinect yet. (Heard the 28th from some random gaming site that was reviewing the new dashboard.)

I’ve heard of “s’truth” before, so “stroo” is just as good 😀

hey did they add mkv to the codec since you got the new dashboard?
Luna

I don’t believe they have an MKV codec yet, because it’s primarily used for pirating stuff… I kinda wish it did, too.

MKV is a container, not codec btw…(the codec is usually h264)
