Xbox 360 system update preps Twitter, Facebook, Last.fm
by David Hinkle { 22 minutes ago }
If you're playing hooky from work or school today to get in some quality time with Halo 3: ODST, you know that a mandatory system update is putting a pause on your action. Major Nelson reports that the new system update doesn't bring any immediate changes to the Dashboard and only prepares some backend support for the upcoming additions of Twitter, Facebook and Last.fm to Xbox Live later this year.
Oh, and if you do decide to link up your Twitter and Facebook accounts to your Xbox 360 when that update launches, be careful about faking sick when the next Halo rolls out. We'd hate for your boss or principal to find out you're all too well "pwning n00bs!"

We'll see. I had planned on waiting before updating, but I was outside and my wife wanted to play Scene it 2, and she accepted the update. So yeah, I'll wait and see what happens.

They are having MAJOR problems with this update. A lot of connection issues. I just tried playing some COD4 on and kept getting kicked.

No problems here. I am not sure what kind of connection issues you are having, but mine is completely normal.

Im going to upgrade my backup box tonight.. If people are worried wouldnt it make sence to go back to ORginal FW first and then reflash or is just not worth the effort. Especially in this case since it seems to be a nothing upgrade...

That's a waste of time and won't save you from the ban wave.
