You can update the dashboard all you want, it'll be fine. You can even connect to Live and update it that way, just don't have a copied game in the disk drive when you do it.

Just to clarify (and not that I should be telling you this, but anyway) if you ever have a copied game in the drive, do NOT connect to live. Even if you remove the disk, be sure to RESET your console before you connect to live (and by connect to live, I'm talking about signing in on the dashboard).

Well the fall update was a bitlate and fairly comprehensive.

I think most of the requests that made sense was done for the fall update so I guess people aren't speculating as much outside of improving on what was added, and maybe some new cool stuff that noone ever thought of :)

Well all I'm hoping for is 5.1 support when decoding h.264 video. At the moment, it only does 2 channels :(

MKV support would rock.

I'm guessing it'll be late again this time because the last one was so late, but you never know.

I would like MKV support added aswell as that would be ssweet but i wouldn't hold my breath to be fair.

Thing i would like included with the Spring update;

# Intergrated Web browser.

# The ability to read emails from your Windows Live account.

# MKV video support.

# Animationed backgrounds (also able to use your own videos would be cool etc)

# Support more resolutions such as 1440x900 and 1680x1050

Would mind a newer animation for achievement unlocks and friends signing in. The one on PC looks far more cleaner.

Can't think of anymore right now.

Apparently they've already got a web browser working in their labs, but it's not really all that useful (apparently) and I'm inclined to agree for the most part. But then again, my 360 is right beside my PC anyway, if I had it in the living room it might be different.

Dunno, I've yet to be dissapointed by any of the 360 updates.

but then again I never expec them to add support for a piracy format like mkv either (face it, there aren't any legitimate stuff using mkv, sure it's a nice container but...)

the closest would be the lack of 5.1 support in h264 but...it's not exactly something I cry to much over since they also actually added divx support, and I got an actual media center now :)

Well the very same could be said about DivX/XviD and there's a lot MORE of those files floating around.

I think for proper MKV support, actual subtitle support would be needed as well, so that's probably one of the reasons they haven't bothered yet.

More resolutions would be nice, too.

I know that's why I also said I didn't expect them to add xvid. though xvid has gotten a lot of use nowadays in more legal ways. Especially in trailers and such. kv hasn't come to this level. but then divx has a relatively professional company behind it, wich has done all it could to push for more legal uses of DivX and gotten it as almost a standard support in dvd players.

and I'm pretty sure the 360 support subtitles in some way, well through the MCE anyway if you stream stuff(like tv channels form a MC box). but the real use for mkv wouldn't be subtitles as much as the the wider support it was for video stream and audio stream compatibilities. if you want 5.1 sound without using mp3 you're pretty much stuck with mkv. outside of using wmv anyway.

One of my favourite things about MKV was it's subtitle support, as well as the fact that the file could have separate audio tracks. Perfect for Anime, which typically comes with both the English and Japanese audio as well as English subs (fun to put English audio and English subs on at the same time to see how completely different they are lol).

    • Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
    • Downloads does not equal actual usage, even less when the app is pre-installed in some Galaxy phones.
    • +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
