RUMOR-360 Fall Dashboard Update Leaked

I dont remember the last update for the dashboard that shipped without an internal leak. Again the info on what will be floating around on your 360 has been revealed and I can’t really call B/S on this one. I dont exactly know how the all these new blades will work, such as the Xbox Live Arcade Blade and a Flash Gaming section(yes weird). The list is after the break, but the major highlight is XVID support. After months (years) of waiting we finally dont need to transcode our home movies.

(Added Rumor to the headline because this is not confirmed- Editor)

      I really hope themes are update to support new blades. I don’t like to have a theme and a Marketplace blade that doesn’t match the rest of the blades. I there are going to be more blades this is going to look more weird.

      Brent: It does support external harddrives, but it will only read the drive, not write to it. If your looking to store your own media on an external drive to read from then your already all set. Your probably talking about saving game files and other Live content, but when it comes to that we sadly have no solution other then to buy the 120GB proprietary drive MS offers.

      This list looks to be 100% false. It has nothing that is on the official list. This is just some fanboys wishlist. And no i won’t prove how i know this other than to say i have the official list.
