January 30, 2006Xbox360 Dashboard Update Released
Posted by greg
Update: As we expected here at xbox360 hacks, Microsoft has beefened up their security and the Kiosk demo disc no longer boots! This has been confirmed over at xbox-scene. Below is the quote from their site:
*UPDATE* Not listed in the ‘improvements’, but it looks like Microsoft also tightened the security as they blocked the Kiosk Disc (a DVD with demo games sent to shops to run in their Kiosk/Demo Xbox 360 and that was found to be signed to also boot from recordable media) from booting so we can no longer experiment with the unsigned data (like music, videos, bf, swf, … files) on that disc. Several people have confirmed today on our forums that you’ll get an “unrecognized disc” error when inserting the disc in an updated Xbox 360.
As previously mentioned around the Internet, Microsoft’s Xbox Team has released a mandatory update for the Xbox360 Dashboard; fixing many problems users commonly experienced. Unfortunately there’s no new features available in this update. Below are the changes:
- Improvements to the Xbox Guide.
- Improved logic around deciding if saved games should be deleted and offer the option to only delete the profile and to leave all save data.
- Users reporting blank Friends List on the Xbox 360 dash after muting a friend while playing a game in Backwards Compatibility mode.
- Improved synching of games played to Web and in console.
- Network settings: keyboard does now allow entry of - (dash) character in the keyboard.
This free update is now available on Xbox Live!

jackĀ theĀ ripper> if u want to go online on xbox 360
then it will auto update
u then cant play the kiosk disc any more
I knew they woulddo something like this…trying to cover the only way (upto now) to play a non-signed game DVD..
Unless any future xbox 360 dash update contains something absolutely amazing, i am not going to update my dash and HDD. If in future they find some way to mod the xbox thru the hdd, then i will probably have a better chance of being able to get soft-modded…or something like that.
So no update for me….
yes, XBOX 360 rocks…..
screw gates and his shitty haircut!!!!
