Xbox 360 Fall 2007 update revealed
Here it is, the official features list of Xbox 360’s update for Fall 2007.
- Xbox Originals: download games for Xbox
- Xbox Live Arcade Greatest Hits: best-selling arcade games at reduced price
- Inside Xbox: news update from Xbox.com
- Enhanced online profile
- Family timer
- Improved navigation
- New codec support including Xvid and Divx
I’m mostly excited about the last feature as it will finally turn Xbox 360 into a full-featured media device able to stream everything your computer throws at it. This mandatory update will hit the tubes on Tuesday December 4, 2007. (I think they should just call it Winter update as there’s a lot of snow outside my window, and it sure doesn’t look like fall.)
Great news. Hopefully, my 360 won’t succumb to the dreaded red ring of death flaw.
