Friends at Kotaku and Engadget are claiming this unconfirmed video is of the XBox 360 Spring Update. There's lots of detail here...unconfirmed detail...but the most important unconfirmed tweaks are:
•Unconfirmed integration with MSN messenger by way of friends list and on screen chat pop ups
•An unconfirmed live download mode that puts the console into Jedi sleep
Off the record, let's be honest: It looks real to me...unofficially. But until official confirmation, it's all officially speculation. Got it?
Rumor: 360 Spring Update Video [Kotaku and Engadget]

um...what did he say...he talks entirely to fast...
Yes. What he said is true. It ties in Windows Vista gamers with XBOX Live gamers.
What? Jedis are sleeping with XBOX users?
Makes sense - day before Live for Windows launches to get that sorted.
Hold on, hond on, is it confirmed then?
my xbox burnt.... I hate microsoft...
Perhaps I'm totally out of touch, but what the hell is "Jedi Sleep?"
Niiiiiice! (If true)
Low power downloads is a great idea. Makes sense as the CPU and GPU should pretty much be idling during downloads.
@Mless: You must be from the South then!
MSN? Really? I mean, I understand MS pushing people to it - but I don't know a soul who uses it. No one. Zilch. Zero.
@bitfactory
no worries because Yahoo Messenger supports MSN Live Messenger.
Those people can talk to XBOX Live gamers.
@bitfactory
It's very much a regional thing - I'd LOVE to use iChat instead, but everyone I know (Ontario Canada) uses MSN instead of AIM. The way I understand it, other than Canada it's also big in Japan and parts of Europe.
So now not only can your gaming be ruined by 13 year olds yelling obscenities into your ears, they can also harass you via message!
ITS THE FUTURE TODAY PEOPLE!
Not related to this or any article in particular, but: What's up with the huge ugly Audi TT ads? I thought they were part of the April Fool's day joke, but those huge, jarring, obtrusive black banners are still plaguing the site.
I'll beleive it when I see it.
By MSN messenger you of course mean Live messenger, or perhaps its MSN Live Messenger like Live Hotmail?
I wish MS could drop MSN all together and stick to Live :)
only people in the states use AOL
everyone else uses msn
i mean Windows Live Messenger
(i now agree with danz)
This guy sounds like he's said the same thing over and over about a million times on a trade show floor.
/talk quickly, and everyone will believe you!
How about making better quality consoles first before release a dumbass update.
Oh boy, I can see it now. Half the world will be buy 360 elites because thier 360's crapped out on them for leaving it on all night.
{this is long speech but here me out you will like it}
i have got AND IDEA how about making updates like plugins.so we can decide if we want a certain plugins or not
do not force updates on us not even windows forces updates. what if i do not want to have to turn off another part of the dash so i do not get messages from msn live plus i do not need anything pause my game to only die.the only reason i know there doing this is so that pc crossovers games[aka pc vs xbox]can find and make game friends with each other that the only reason{aka more money lol for ms}voice chat is a must for clans and to make more xbox friends i do not need more pc friends 600 Messenger contacts i need 600 xbl friends list.[aka 600 messanger like that fair to xbl people we were here first lol] if they want us to meet more people on live stop making me take off a so called friend to make room for a new friend that i just met. we all have done this look at the old friend list to see who seem to be a bunk friend to make room for a new one lol.PLUS I WE NEED A BLADE IT
IS A SUGGESTION BLADE SO WE CAN ASK WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO WE IN OUR DASH IT IS OUR DASH MS RIGHT? MAY BE AFTER A SUGGESTION ARE PLACE OTHER XBL TAG CAN POLL ON IT TO GET FEEDBACK AKA IF THE POL WINS MICROSOFT COULD MAKE IT HAPPEN LIKE EVERY THEE MONTHS.IN closing ms should allow us
to only take the plugins we want and not be forced upon
us{only game update should be forced}suggestion gamers blade
would be nice because it is all about the gamers right?
voice chat should have be a launched thing not a launch shock
every one in my friend list was pluging in our old systems so we could talk about our new systems and games we have thats @#$% q-bert talk for sh fu and stuff lol two on two only this is xbl gameing not porn lol.{voice chat make more money because
we can chat about new game and stuff}
i hope this helps some one out ms gamers third parties
more red rings of death?
