I doubt anybody really looks for changes after updates either way.

I thought Home had finally arrived...

:(

Hmmm... finalizing HD-DVD support? No, I think that's been done. opening it up for Blu-ray support, nah that'll be a huge deal and *should* be slipped in with the spring update with little fan fare before it happens (just to screw with everyone). just trying to irritate me with a system restart, yeah I guess that's what it's for, damn you Microsoft!

Lets just hope they're ready for GTA4 and there isn't any down time.

This is just an update to ban 360 hackers from XBL. It's the same with the update before Halo. This will be exactly the same.

Oooh, I love the sweet sweet massage of "preparedness."

Update? Probably a message from MS to its box saying congrats on kicking the "Big Black Behemoths" ass this month ;) GTAIV will secure another victory for 360 next month as well. MS should lower the price righ now right b4 the GTAIV release.

I am sure its just gettin' ready for WiiWare.

It's probably another security fix. Microsoft puts those out silently and then months later we learn that we could have had homebrew on our 360's.

an update that does nothing? im sure it does something. maybe not anything exciting but it has to do something. its probably security and stability stuff. they do it all the time on PS3.

Man. I completely forgot about the Spring update. C'mooon H.264+Matroska support...

You had me really, really worried about where you were going with the thirteen year old girl and saddle metaphor.

I can't be the only one who immediately thought of a 13-year-old girl getting a push-up bra for her birthday? You know, to "prepare for future growth of the service."

All i really want in an update is to be able to stream from the computers again. Ever since the last update the PCs see the Xbox but the 360 can't see anything else in the system, I'll get around to checking when I feel like rolling out of bed. God damned strep throat.

I could be imagining things, but it seems to have changed the
contrast settings on my 360. Menus, dashboard and games do not seem
to look the same. This is hard to quantify - has anyone else noticed
anything funny?

What's with the top secret bullshit with the major updates. WTF! What can't MS drop us some info about what is coming in the Spring Update. Why do we have guess and hope. Why can't MS just crush our hopes now and say "there is nothing you actually want coming in the spring update, just some tweaks so we can sell you more shit".

it allows you to have your own picture's as a wallpaper

i thought they made an update for the ".." is online popup while your watching a movie. also i thought you could it at the top of the screen

Did they start resetting cheaters' gamescores to "0" yet? Or changing profiles/gamertags labeling them as cheaters? Maybe the update is preparing for that.

prolly a security update. Even then I'm waiting for the onmg we totally ripped you off for your gold subscription, and now we wanna stop having a crap net service where you have to pay for everything, including like a 30 px pic for like a buck, and a stupid, this should just be updated like on every game on the PC for free bullshit of every game out there, why does Naruto require you to pay for other characters, and the micro micro payments, pay to access your money access account. holy crap the Microsoft internets is the gayest.

Note: this is my actual opinion on the gayness of Xbox Live.

Schmobu, this is how they make their "munnies", afraid..

Sure, it sucks, but that's part of the reason why I don't personally give a damn about the 360. I mean, yeah.. it's got some shooters. Nothing special and something that'll be ported over to the PC in time..

Pretty much all the crap that people have been paying for, a lot of us have been doing on a PC for years, for free, oh, and you don't need a matchmaking service to baby you in to a server IT thinks is right for you.

Sure, some of you will stand up for the service probably noting that there are games on that thing that you can't find anywhere else. That's true, but I don't think that the console, the game, and the service fees are worth it.

I don't know where I'm going with this, hell.. I'm probably just bitching at this point. Feel free to disagree with me (I know someone will), but plzzzz do it in a respectable manner.
