Xbox 360 Dashboard Update Goes Live
Update: Microsoft says the update is live and in the process of rolling out to Xbox Live members. They say some users may be experiencing connection issues when signing into Live and that the company is looking into the problem. You can keep an eye on status updates through their service page.
Original Story: Microsoft said it had to delay releasing the new Xbox 360 dashboard update until later today.
Xbox Live's Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb confirmed the delay saying, "The timing for Xbox 360 dashboard update has been slightly delayed. We are still working to get the release out. Stay tuned, we’ll have an update this afternoon on when it will begin rolling out."
The update will add a number of new features, including cloud storage for game saves and Live profiles and integrated voice and gesture controls across the dashboard and in apps. It was originally scheduled to go live this morning.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
