Xbox 360 System Update

By Kap(Da)King - 09-20-2007, 11:39 AM - Boxden > BX GameSpot

First off, let me get this out of the way right up front:

This is not the ‘fall dashboard update.’

Today the team is releasing a minor system update via Xbox Live. Over the next few hours, when you sign in to Xbox LIVE, you’ll receive a prompt to accept this mandatory update. What’s in this update? Much like the update last month, the only thing this minor release will do is prepare your Xbox 360 for the Big Button Pad that is being released this holiday. Why do we need to release this update now? Simple: The certification team needs time to test the new controller against the retail hardware/software combination before it hits stores.

One more thing: no new features beyond this big button pad support are included in this update and, once again, this is not the ‘fall dashboard upgrade.’ When I have firm details on the next major update, I will share them.

The controller won't initially be available on its own, rather four of them will be included with the upcoming Scene It game on Xbox 360. The title is an adaptation of the highly popular DVD trivia game and will debut later this year for $60, including the four controllers.

The announcement comes as Microsoft aims to appeal more to family-based and casual gamers, presumably given the recent success of Nintendo's family friendly Wii.

It should be interesting to see how well both the product and game is received given the console's traditional core gamer audience.

It take like 10 seconds to update[pic]

I can see this game having potential. Four player trivia each with their own buzzer would be pretty extreme.
