Rumored 360 Spring Update details finally come to light...

[RedRooster]

? Section added for audio delivered through feeds (podcasts). Option to stream, download to Storage Device.

I think this one might be kind of cool too, depending if you can do more than just podcasts or not. I don't know how it would work, but if we could get internet music or even a decently long music podcast, I'd enjoy that while playing.

Given the recent thread here where somebody went through hoops to get their credit card removed for their Live account, this seems like a great addition.

Oh FFS. That thread would be mine.

? Introduce a group chat (4) for Private Chat and conferences through Video Chat.

This is huge and as said above about time.

There have been a lot of updates to Rock Band in the last few weeks. Couple that with having to log out/in to change instruments and that means I'm signing in quite a bit.

I even drew a "STOP IT" message from Modeps once.

I dont blame him. Hell one person in particular I deleted from my buddy list because he was on-off-on-off-on-off for 37 minutes (ok, maybe not that long but it certianly felt like it).

Got dizzy trying to read that list. Can I play DL'ed rockband songs on my other 360 without having to be connect to the net? Thats my biggest beef. I carry my HD to my GFs house where I have a 360 but I cant play the tunes I downloaded without it being connected to live. Pisses me off.

Why don't you switch the consoles? One would be authenticated by Live, and the other by the console.

I have lots of live arcade games and wish it had its own blade. Maybe an option to add it for those who buy lots of xbla games. Good to know I can get rid of all the xbla demos off my games list if this list is real.

 

[TallBill]

Nice, lots of good updates.

**UPDATE 5/19/08**

I was just listening to the Major Nelson podcast released yesterday, and they commented on this update list. They basically said that normally Microsoft gives the typical "no comment" on any rumors or speculation, but they said they were looking through the list, and kind of seemed appalled that this was making the rounds. E, the co-host on the podcast, said this list absolutely was not the list, and that "this is not the list...you won't be seeing this coming to a dashboard near you."

So there you go. Hopefully they'll see this list and the response to it, though, and understand that these are a LOT of things people want.

 

[Modeps]

Why would they be appalled that the list was going around? That in itself makes me think it was some leak. Or rather, HOPEFUL that it is a leak.

 

[Ramma2]

Damnit, they better put out the option to clean up my games played.

Thats all I want at this point.

I sure hope so....talk about something so obvious, to be missing for so long.

Link to his podcast or website? I know of him and watch his videos posted in the newsletter on the dashboard, but never been to his site.

EDIT: NM. Here 'tis.
