Xbox 360 Update Released, Does Nothing

5
Microsoft today released a new system update for the Xbox 360, which users will be prompted to download when they attempt to connect to Xbox Live.

This update packs no new features, but is said to contain code to "prepare for the future growth of the service." A major system update, dubbed the New Xbox Experience, is planned for this fall, sporting a new 3D dashboard and the ability to install games.

"There are no other changes or enhancements in this update...in other words no new features," Xbox Live director Larry 'Major Nelson' Hyrb explained on his official blog.

Chris Faylor was previously a games journalist creating content at Shacknews.

      Maybe it's a way for them to phase in the update so their servers won't be overwhelmed for too long when the major update hits.
