Xbox Live Receives A Small Update Today

If you sign into Xbox Live today, you will have to take part in a small but mandatory update that fixes a few bugs with the operating system. The news comes from Xbox Live's Major Nelson, who offers a few details on what exactly is getting updated (or has been updated if you're already signed in) below.

"In this update, we are correcting some issues such as displaying the incorrect playlist name when launching a playlist from Xbox SmartGlass to the console, an error with Xbox Video closed-captioning and an error with Xbox Music that some were experiencing."

  • xbox......
  • Wow, came here first to figure out what the update was and BAM!  Here's the info.  Thanks for keeping me updated, Kyle!

  • mkay, I never use those apps anyway but good for the ones that do.
  • Took like a minute to download it. Not sure why they couldn't have just updated each app, but glad they fixed it.

  • Lol, good old Microsoft.  Glad they are updating known issues though.

  • I have a better idea,why not release an update that eliminates all the freaking advertisements,simplifies the dashboard so it doesn't look so crammed up full of worthless ***! I have enough advertising on TV and the Internet and I don't want it on my console,what will happen next? Will the XBOX720 interrupt me mid-game to show me a commercial? Seriously,It's not that the new dashboard or the Ads hinder your experience in any way...it just seems unnecessary and makes the dashboard look cluttered and...ugly. (Sorry for the initial rant,I get over exited when I'm criticizing something...does that make me a troll?)
  • My box has a glitch that started with the new update where the dashboard loads forever when I turn on my console. I can get to stuff using the guide button, and after I exit a game or app it loads fine. Was hoping this would fix that.
  • Microsoft, why dont you fix a real problem, how bout a FEZ patch!
  • thanks for keepin us updated bro.

  • Why doesn't Microsoft issue a patch to fix Mass Effect 3's ending? What? Too late? Microsoft wasn't responsible for how Mass Effect 3 ended? Minor details.
  • Wow important fixes there Microsoft. I don't think I could of survived without fixes to them!
  • Yay for update on something I don't use :3 Oh well good thing they are fixing problems.

  • Wonder what it fixed...

  • Well... I can still play my games so this isn't that bad...

  • I do not use any of these apps, so this is not very important to me

  • Was in round 33 in black ops 2 zombies on Transit last night when this update started automatically. Would have been top 500 in the world and we were still going strong. Pissed...
  • Guess what I'm updating while reading GIO?

  • okey!!

  • So far this update caused a corruption of my wwe 13 data...halo is safe so far but,haven't checked anything else yet so just a heads up to anyone else if you have issues your not alone.
