It seems almost eons ago when we last had upcoming news regarding a new dashboard update launching on Microsoft’s Xbox 360 in preperation for Kinect’s arrival the following November last year. Well we’re now hearing reports of the next system update coming later this year.
As with the previous update, avid Xbox gamers were given the opportunity to try out a beta version of the update prior to it’s release, ahead of all their peers. The same goes for this time round too, with gamers again having the option to opt into a beta program. Aside from the obvious differences between the last update and the potential changes in the next, specially selected, Xbox LIVE Gold members will receive a copy of Halo Reach. Unfortunately don’t get too excited though as noted on the official site…
“at this time we are no longer accepting registrations for the program as we have reached our target audience volume. Please be on the lookout for additional opportunities in the future to participate in Xbox LIVE Update Preview programs.
For those of you that have successfully completed registration we will be reaching out to you once we have completed the selection process for participation – within the next 2 weeks. You can check on your status my referring to your Connect Directory – if you see Xbox LIVE Update = Pending then you have successfully registered and now you just need to wait for a follow up mail.”
What’s one thing worth noting though is that, along with the update, it seems that Microsoft are currently thinking of changing their disc format. We’re certainly intrigued as we don’t necessarily think that the big ‘M’ will be moving over to Blu-ray technology. Definitely intrigued though.
Let us know what you think.
