kotaku.com — A list of features that will be added/changed. "I just got off the phone with Microsoft. They walked me through what features the Live update will include and said it will hit next Friday. The update includes major music and DVD playback tweaks, adding the ability to conduct downloads in the background and boot to the console's dashboard."

All this stuff is great, but I wonder how many people, come September, are going to snap a pic of their wang and put it as their gamerpic.

Hmm...any updates to make it not a Microsoft product?

@Overdose Actually, yeah, most of the time. It's just easier. I mean, who actually says "I'm playing playstation 2", or "Guess what new game I got for my playstation 2"? It's so much easier to call it simply an xbox or a playstation. Apparently microsoft agrees with me, since they haven't renamed xbox live to xbox360 live. What it all comes down to is that people will always find SOMETHING to bitch about for every article that shows up on digg, and it's annoying.

I tried VLC360 and kept getting the "another user logged..." error. Add to that the horrible lag for RWD and FF. Yesterday I tried Beta 4 of Transcode 360. So far I haven't gotten an error and the RWD/FF work instantly. I'm running this on a P4 630 and the quality is excellent.

"As for when to expect it, considering Major Nelson's earlier warnings regarding demos not being made available on Fridays (as they're unable to observe potential errors), we're guessing it won't be next Friday but the week of the 5th."
