Question New 360 Dashboard update?

Just had to apply a new dashboard update. Anyone know what has changed?

Took an age to display the dashboard once it had reset itself after applying the update!

Take a look at Major Nelson's Site as this should answer your question.

I think it's the update for the wireless guitar they intend using for Guitar Hero III.

Forcing everyone to update their 360's for wireless guitars?
Seems strange to me!

When I saw that post I thought "Ahhh" as I'd wondered what had been going on with my connection via wifi!

No way was it just that update. Took a bit to download on a 2meg line. I'd guess it was about a 50meg file? For just that?!

I think the navigation round the dash is quicker now. Be interesting to see if they have told the truth.

Took about 5 seconds to update, yes its purely for the wifi guitar stuff and maybe a little piracy fixing.

How does major nelson still have a MS blog ? he now works for EA ?

Edited to say, isnt the flash just 16meg, so a 50 meg update, i dont think so

It was purely a guess on how long it took on my machine. Was a good few minutes.

did anybody elses machine make a little "pop" noise when it restarted after the update??

current thoughts are that they have blown another "efuse"

it was not a noise i have heard before and it did make me think it had blown up at the time!

Mine updated fine, although it was very slow, took a minute or two after it just stopped the first time and I cancelled it. Used Media Centre and played The Darkness with no problems.

I thought it had gone wrong when it popped. Seamed like a really hard re-boot

Mine made the odd noise too. It sounded a bit like the optical drive doing an emergency stop.
