New Dashboard-update coming in August. Here is the new stuff, that will probably be in it:

Games on Demand for the first 30 classic titles like Mass Effect, Oblivion, Assassins Creed
1080p instant download
Zune marketplace
Avatar marketplace
Twitter / Facebook
Last.FM

I am looking forward to this. Xbox Live is getting better and better.

Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

And also Sky TV for UK owners - thats a really awesome addition for Sky subscribers, especially as this is when the next Prem League season starts back.

It looks pretty substantial. I especially love the games on demand thing going on. I hate retail stores as I think they are inefficient wastes of potential park land for me to walk my dog. I use etailers whenever and where-ever possible.

Tease.

There are no Fall or Spring dash updates anymore. One of the great things about NXE is adding features requires little to no real effort.

The virtual store where you purchase all those virtual clothes you actually don't need...

Anyone knows what radios we will be getting in Europe ?

I think it will be used to purchase new avatar content and to procure the things for your avatar that you have unlocked via achievements or however game devs want to give it out.

This update will be a pretyy big deal. Hopefully the 1080p stuff works as advertised. Just might have to upgrade the hard drive to start buying games online.
