New System update available for Xbox Live - Image 1 If you haven't logged into your Xbox Live account lately, you may want to read this heads-up. Microsoft has just released a new update you're required to upload to the console the next time you go online.

The update doesn't appear to do anything to add any features, save that it carries code to "prepare for future growth of the service."

That said, those with an eye on their calendars may notice that it's only less than two week before May - around the same time as MS' Spring update for 2007.That particular update caused considerable issues for some 360 owners when it was released.

It's unclear whether this system update is in preparation for a similar dashboard upgrade or otherwise. We advise the readers to keep an eye out in case any more information regarding this matter is released.

Alright, so basically, I, aswell as others have no idea what we've got from updating our consoles...



It probably just cleared up some bugs or something... No biggie

» support for new hardware?

My first thought was that this could be an update that added support for that motion controller they're designing but I'm pretty sure it's too early for that. It's much more likely that it's just preparing the system for the Spring Update.

» I tell you what it is.

It's preparation for more XBL bannings. They'll probably start their new wave in May after GTA4 is released.

Please read this, you will be excited. When you click this link, www.xrl.us/ccrate you will go to a website that will show you how to sign up for another website that pays you 2 - 45$ (PER) to do surveys, sign up for trial offers, and test products.

Companies such as ebay pay CC to have people try their offers, and when you complete an offer, CC simply passes the money onto you. By spending an average of 3-4 hours a week on cascrate,

I have made 472$ in May, 412$ in June, and 271$ (SO FAR) in July. You get paid in real checks from "KNGSIDE MEDIA" every month that you earn 10 dollars or more. It may seem too good to be true,

but I assure you it IS true. Also, with their referral program, you can refer people by sending them your link (you get when you sign up) and for every buck they earn, you get 20 cents also! (Think how much money you can make if you have 100 people making five bucks a day)

You do not have to enter your credit card or social security number. Nothing Harmful can come from CC. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE 18 OR OLDER, I AM 15 YEARS OLD AND REFERRING PEOPLE, AND I MAKE THIS MUCH MONEY A MONTH

JUST SPENDING A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY ON THE COMPUTER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS.

Think it's a scam? Read this(from the website) "We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so.

Most of the time you're asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!"

There are alot of websites like this, I have tried almost all of them and this really is the best, and legit one.In addition there is a new UK section opened with more then $200 worth of free offers!

[NO AGE REQUIREMENT, NO CREDIT CARD, NO DETAILED INFORMATION, AND YOU DONT HAVE TO GIVE A SINGLE PENNY!]

Get ready for a whole bunch of piraters to be complaining because MS knocked their console off live for modding.

How long you had that little bit saved on your computer, ready for pasting onto forums? You've made money in May, June, and July eh? Even tho none of those months have happened in 08...



If you want to trick at least one sap, maybe you should update that a little. It's a bit... old



I think I remember you from before QJ got rid of anon comments. You're a prick, go die in a fire.
