Spring Update Available Now
The spring Dashboard update arrived today (a little later than previously reported) and it hasn't bricked my system yet. You can get a complete list of the new features here but here's a few of my favorites:
·On-screen pop-ups that immediately display the name and gamerscore value of a just accomplished Achievement, allowing gamers to see their progress without leaving or pausing the game.

·Xbox LIVE Arcade enhancements that showcase what games friends are playing directly from the friends list. Boasting about high scores, comparing progress and checking out leaderboards are all easier now as well.

·Owners can now set their consoles to turn off after downloading content from Xbox LIVE Marketplace to help save energy, and download speeds have been increased.
This update also includes integration with your Windows Live Messenger account and support for the new "text input device" keyboard attachment but there's still no word as to when those will hit store shelves.
