Rumortoid: Possible new features for Spring XBL update?
jenkins1012 \| 10:49 PM on 05.13.2008	11 comments

- Picture unrelated, but it came up on the google search of "xbox live"

Yep, according to Kotaku and their super secret source, there is a list of new features for
the upcoming spring update on Xbox Live. Which if last year's update has any indication of
when it's supposed to be out then it should be out at any time now.

The list/article can be found Here:

I fail at BBC Code :(

So yeah, that's it. Some key features that stand out for me? Mainly the four person private
chat function, which I believe should have been available from the very beginning. Also, the
option to download game data on the hard drive just like on the PS3, I just hope it's
optional. Other than that, it just seems like a lot of small features which seem nice, I just
hope this list is true.

Via Kotaku (Ew)

P.S. Sorry for the lack of any decent posts. When I posted my first blog I thought I would
be more active but unfortunately some things came up which didn't give me any time to
post a decent blog. I hope to actually start up my blog for realz and make it tight and all
that cool shiz, ya dig? I have no idea what the fuck I just said. :)

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Clockwork

I love these updates. There's so many little things that together make for one great addition to the whole picture.

I think there was a line break somewhere in your link, which caused it to fail. Just make sure it's all one line and it should work fine.

Ha, the idea of game installs on the 360 makes me laugh. That's the easiest way for Microsoft to make more money, forcing people to pay $180 for a 120gb hard drive.

@Pedrorovay

Yeah, that's true. I'm not about to fork over $1

Dammit I fail, stupid keyboard decided to hit enter.

As I was saying, I'm not about to fork over $180 bucks for a 120 gb hard drive, which I why I said I hope it's optional for the people who want to use it.

It's true, optional would be the best. The reason why I don't mind required on the PS3 is because if I really want to upgrade, I can spend like $100 and get a half a terabyte.

Shin Oni

this is all nice....if it's true. Though that's a crapload of stuff for 1 update.

Necros

It's a shame so many games are out now that don't let you install games, and for some reason, I doubt they're going to get patched, since optimizing loading seems like something more advanced than a normal patch would address.

You know what would be great in an update? The ability to access my DLC offline without Microsoft calling me a thief. Think they could fit that in there? Also, thanks for the rumored info, it seems interesting.

garrfunkel

Sounds good but Microsoft are claiming they've never seen the list before so I'm taking this with a pinch of salt.

razerangel

Hmmm could be interesting, also pro tip: put [then url then](exlcude the thens) before you link and [then /url then] after and it should work.

about me

Hey there my name is David Jenkins, I am currently 17 and live in California. I have been gaming from the start of three or so, I'd say. In my lifetime I have owned a NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, PSP, Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, Xbox, and Xbox 360. So, as you can see I've done quite a bit of gaming in my time (I sound like an old geezer.) I plan on getting a PS3 in the near-future. (MGS4 and FFXIII, do want.)

Currently I am the managing editor for my newspaper at my school and have my own column dedicated to video games, such as reviews, previews, ect. It's pretty sweet, I hope to one day become a video game journalist and join this crazy industry.

Hmmm..I really don't know what else to say except for the fact that my favorite bands are Weezer and The Beatles, I may have a secret crush on Paul McCartney and Rivers Cuomo, shhhhhh.

Yep, that's it, if you want to know more about me then feel free to PM me. I'll try my best not to suck.

Games Currently playing:
-COD 4
-Rock Band
-Fable 2
