Spring dash update coming this week


Just a friendly reminder that the feature rich Spring dashboard update is coming sometime this week. As promised, the update will be going live during the week (this May 7th), but any other details are a little sketchy. The Xbox Live team may release it sometime today, tomorrow, or even Friday ... we just aren't sure. But be rest assured that once we hear any news about when it'll be going live, we'll let you know. Okay fanboys, the countdown to an unknown release is on.

2. When?

3. I'd say it'll be tomorrow. The last two major updates have been on a Tuesday. But seeing as there isn't a set date at this late stage makes me think they're rushing things so expect this update to have it's own mini-update soon after.

4. If it's released this week, it will be before Friday. If there is a problem, Microsoft would ideally like to be able to quickly tackle it. If it was released on a Friday, the problems would run over the weekend - something no one likes to work over :)

8. Tomorrow at the latest I hope.

9. I dont see anything on that IGN list of features about messenger integration!? They also quote xbox.com as the source of the press release but there is nothing on xbox.com about a June 6 update.... Only time will tell right.

10. I'd rathe rhave the Forza 2 demo :(

11. probably tomorrow, MS likes tuesdays because mondays are usually the "lets do some more checking in cert and get our shit straight" and if something goes awry they have until friday. if everything's how it should be it's up on the target date. i believe e said something along those lines on one of major's podcasts. also i remember the zune 1.3 update was supposed to be out on a tuesday but something botched when it was going through cert (i'm assuming) and it was held off for a week.

12. skeg8 - the article that they quoted was really old. It was an article talking about last spring's update - so it was IGN's fault.
