360 update

Anyone update their 360 yet? I plan on doing it once I get home. I hear the new dashboard is pretty sweet.

It's a nice layout and has some pretty good added features. It's nice to have a legit Netflix tie in without having to do the shitty way, though now that it's official, some of the Instant Play movies are barred from Xbox play by some of the companies (*cough*Sony*cough*). The Avatars are a little too goofball Wii like though, and the Marketplace is a little more muddled, but overall I think it's a nice visual improvement over the older style.

I dig it. The thing I like most is that you can download your games to your hard drive and play them from it. You still have to have the disc in there (proly so people don't just swap hard drives), but the disc doesn't spin and it's much quieter gameplay, you don't hear the thing processing anymore. The Netflix option is cool, too.

so is this a live option only or what?
I know nothing about it and don't have time / want to research it.

Do you have a xbox and xbox live?

Other than making it pretty, what all does the new update do?

Also, do you need Live to do the update?

Initially it's available through Xbox Live only. Eventually they'll release the update through the internet that you can burn to a CD and load up that way, or it'll be packaged with some games.
