Quote:Even before that new app smell has worn off from Hulu Plus, Microsoft will launch its annual spring update for the Xbox 360Dashboard. Images sent to Joystiq by a Microsoft tech support employee reveal that the next Dashboard update will begin rolling out on May 19.
According to the documents, the update will be distributed in six separate waves between May 19 and May 30 "to ensure a high quality deployment." Additionally, while not technically part of the automatic update, Avatar Kinect is listed for a May 27 arrival as a separate download.
Aside from offering support for the new Microsoft disc format -- which will "be used in future game titles releasing later in 2011" -- the spring system update will enable PayPal support on the console, extending the payment option "to new international markets." PayPal will be "the only user facing feature" of the update.
Update: Microsoft tells us, "We have nothing to announce."
"All drives should be updated to Lite Touch + (LT+) firmware if playing on XBOX live. Samsung drives and pre-78/79 Hitachi drives do not utilize AP 2.5. All other drives are considered to be detectable by Microsoft (YMMV). Make sure all rips are ABGX verified, contain SSv2, and patched AP2.5 (where needed). XGD3 must currently be burned on new drive with PC Burner Max firmware for 100% rip. All modded consoles can be potentially unsafe for use on XBOX live."

Hmm. 4 same posts (including this one) I've seen in After Dawn.. Well, the other one are in XBOX 360 - Everything else Forum Section. But as I observed, only me and 1% of the XBOX 360 After Dawn people here check the forum and the 99% always check this forum. But, i ain't complaining, just saying.
