Dash Update Today? Maybe Not.

According to GamingTalkHQ, Major Nelson's website ,the dashboard update that was supposed to come out today may be pushed back. Nelson commented about the update in his post about the RvB picture pack: "I'll provide an update on the dash when I can. The team is wrapping up on it and they're going to let me know soon. We're getting close... I can tell you that the Dashboard will be out before June, IGN is incorrect."

Was Xtreme5.3 released too soon ???

XBox360 May Dash Update (Real) Feature List

So the real May 2007 Xbox360 dashbaord update feature list have now been posted. Many sites *cough* have apparently linked an out of date list, but here is the current list. As you can see, MS instant messenger support is being added, as well as some new features you can see listed below. The only remaining question is, when will it be available?

quote:
"The Spring Update is free beginning the week of May 7 and will be easily accessible to every Xbox 360 owner through Xbox LIVE or on Xbox.com."

*Update 1: According to this post on the Xbox.com forums, the update is due tommorow. Stay tuned.

A richer Achievement notification pop-up will showcase the name of the unlocked Achievement and the gamerscore value without needing to leave the game to check the Achievements list.

Enhanced family settings features for Xbox LIVE communications enable different defaults for video chat and voice chat.

A new Xbox LIVE Marketplace blade lets Xbox LIVE members access the content they seek—whether it is game content or TV shows and movies (available in the United States)—from one place on Xbox LIVE.

Updates to Xbox LIVE Arcade allow owners to quickly see which Xbox LIVE Arcade games their friends are playing and join in the fun. Xbox LIVE members can also compare progress of leaderboard scores and Achievements directly with all friends on their friends list. Expanded "Tell a Friend" capabilities make it easier than ever to boast about Achievements and high scores.

A new option in Auto Downloads provides faster access to the entire collection of free, trial-version Xbox LIVE Arcade games.

New progressive download controls provide easy access to optimal viewing options by letting people fast-forward, rewind, pause and resume as their video is downloaded from Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
Extension of the background download functionality will allow owners to set their Xbox 360 console to turn off automatically after downloads are complete.

You can verify this information by calling XBOX at 1800-4my-xbox, and make sure you are talking to someone that knows what they are talking about. I was put on hold and transfered to a manager.
