Xbox 360 Fall Dashboard update features revealed |
Ó
First up on our list of changes is the Xbox LIVE Marketplace. This year's Fall Dashboard Update sees the arrival of the Xbox Originals download option. For 1200 Microsoft Points, you can download your own favorite original Xbox title and play it on your Xbox 360. Yes, you read that right: you'll be able to download and play titles like Psychonauts, Halo, Fable and Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex for only a paltry sum of Microsoft Points.
The best part? They're practically the retail version, with no alterations or cuts. The only difference is that you download them, instead of running over to your favorite videogames store and purchasing a copy for yourself. Add to that the fact that the best-selling downloadable arcade games on Xbox LIVE having permanently-reduced prices, and the Marketplace is definitely looking sweeter and sweeter indeed.
What else we got? Enhancements all around in terms of both online and offline content. Gamers will always be on the pulse of gaming news with a new direct feed that links the Xbox LIVE dashboard to the console's official website. An enhanced online profile lets your friends (and the whole community should you choose to let it) read and see more about you, the face behind the gamertag. Not to mention an expanded Friends List access, where you can see not only your own list but of other peoples'.
For parents worried about the games their kids are playing, worry no longer, as this year's dashboard update also enhances Parental Controls on the Xbox 360. Family Timer, for instance, lets you set just for how long your kids can use the Xbox 360, either on a per-day or per-week basis. Sweet, isn't it?
Here's more of the new features included in this year's Fall Update:
- Improved Video Library.

thats a very long list
And a nice list...some very nice fine tuning, especially in the video department....
DivX on the 4th, that will make things alot easier....wonder if they will play off dvd-r's...
Also nice to here 2X increased guide performance...that will make it nice and snappy now...
iv always hated the marketplace setup and just the dashboard in general. now it will be more streamlined. making me very happy.
I wish an update would be made to where you can import your own .jpg files and use them as your gamepics. If you can use them as a custom theme, why not be able to use them as a gamer pic.
