Xbox360 Spring '07 Dashboard Update is here!

The new 360 dashboard update was released today and I'm glad to say my 360 updated without any problems. There's not much in there that I personally was looking forward to since I doubt if i'll use the Windows Live Messenger integration much. I mean who really wants to be interupted with messages all the time while gaming? I think the achievement unlocked message tweak is useful... where when you unlock an achievement it will now tell you what achievement you have unlocked and how much gamerscore you have earned. Another useful feature is that you can now see from the dashboard what game you have in the drive. And then there's all the cosmetic changes as well like a seperate marketplace blade, etc. Let's not forget about the fact that you can also now download while your console is off ... well almost off. When you turn it off while you have downloads queued the console will go into a low power mode untill the downloads have finished and then turn itself off completely.... quite cool.

For a complete list of all the changes you can go here.
