    So anyone else watched the video of features in the spring update? (on kotaku.com)

    Looks legit nuff to me. Doesn't cover all the features just some big ones.
    It does say its due at the start of may, though the lad speaking during it doesn't sound quite right, as said by a few on kotaku.

    The marketplace blade is a good idea, and background downoading i.e. when you power it off, it stays on on a low power setting until the files finish downloading. Dunno what he's talking about with no fans, not a hope in hell that would work.

    The messenger addition isn't much use imo. Would be a pain if someone was i.m.'n you while playing a game.

    • Releases May 7th.
    • Add up to 600 Windows Live Messenger contacts to your Friends List.
    • Text chat with up to 6 Live Messenger contacts at once during games or movies.
    • The Marketplace will be getting its own Dashboard Blade.
    • The Marketplace will be skinned independently of the Dashboard, for special events.
    • The Marketplace will be getting a new, easier-to-navigate remake.
    • Achievement Pop-ups will now display how many points and which Achievement you have gained.
    • Low-power downloading (fans off) and auto-off after finishing queued downloads.
    • View partially downloaded video files.

    Leaked by Gamespot according to MyGamerCard.net.

    The Live Messenger stuff doesn't interest me at all. The marketplace could do with reorganisation I suppose. The achievement thing just saves you pressing a button. The auto-off/low-power downloading will be handy. And being able to view partially downloaded video is a good idea.

    Market place needed it's own blade I think. Add ons are all good to me.

    Still I would like a Internet browser too.

    The Internet browser is he xbox's holy grail all right.
    It'll happen eventually, we all just have to be patient I suppose.
    Still, it's a fairly handy update.

    Why do you need an internet browser? You have a PC.

    Seriously, having both a Wii and a PS3, I can say that I will never use the browser on either as it's just easier with a PC.
