Fall 2008 Xbox 360 Dashboard Update Might Ship on October 28th

Jake writes,

"I just read an interesting theory about what the release date for the Fall 2008 Xbox 360 Dashboard might be October 28th.

The theory is that the game Scene It? Box Office Smash is going to be released on the 28th and since it is a Microsoft published game that is going to be the first game that is going to use the new Avatars feature it might ship at the same time as the Xbox 360 Dashboard update. They might include the dashboard update on the game disc so if it is played on an Xbox 360 that is not connected to Xbox Live it will get a chance to have the new update installed so the use will be able to use Avatar with the game."

That's crazy. 360 owners will be getting their XBL overhaul before PS3 owners get their Home. I guess one waits while the other delivers. All talk no action.

TrevorPhillips6452d ago

Megatron086452d ago

its a shame that stupid lil fanboys dont realize that rumors are just that rumors. They are not official or confirmed. MS's only official statement about the release in that it be fall of 08.

AAACE56452d ago (Edited 6452d ago )

I think they would want to get the update to as many people as possible before the fall games start coming out so that people have time to get familiar with if before all the games come out! Otherwise, it will come out and people might overlook it and now find out exactly what it's about.

@Below...

MS will compete with games. The update technically can't compete with games. It is primarily to give the 360 interface an attractive new look and add some more appealing features.

jack who6452d ago

solidsnakus6452d ago

there was no avatars in scene it. so no this isnt coming out till late november/early dec, just like the last update which i think came out december 3?

Stryfeno26452d ago

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy25d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels.

In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
