Major Xbox Live update coming soon [update 1]

Men at WorkTomorrow, Xbox Live, Xbox.com, and the Xbox forums will be offline (from 5:00 am – 6:00 pm ET). Microsoft is using the down time to install a major update, which is likely to support plans to feature E3 coverage on Xbox Live. As Microsoft gears up to test the limits of its digital distribution service, the internet is erupting with speculation as to which features could be added.

The obvious new addition would be the ability to download (all of those E3 clips) in the background. And while there are a host of other 'wish list' features that could also be integrated, reports suggest that the update will not affect the Xbox 360 dashboard.

[Update: ruled out "Tsunami" as codename (used for Xbox Live 3.0 update) and revised possible features.]
