Update Today.
Just started up my 360 to listen to some music and an update was available. I googled around and found this;

Quote:
"A few minutes ago, the team released a system update for the Xbox 360 over Xbox LIVE. Sometime over the next few hours when you sign in to Xbox LIVE you’ll receive a prompt to accept this mandatory update. This update contains code to ‘prepare for future growth of the service.’ There are no other changes or enhancements in this update…in other words no new features. The next obvious question you’ll have is about the Spring update. At this point we have nothing to announce, and the moment there is information to share I will do so."
Link


Now one line in that caught my eye, as you can see it is highlighted in red.

I wonder what that's about? Something for the GTA4 DLC? Something for the Spring Dashboard Update?

I think it might have something to do with the future service of Downloading movies.

NetFlix on the 360?

Well, if that's true, you all can expect me to prepare for my own future growth.

Netflix is currently surveying people (or at least was at the end of March) on what they thought about getting movies streamed through the Xbox 360 to your TV. As far as I know, they have not yet stated whether it is going to happen or not. It's a great possibility, however, and I think we will see it at some point in time.

I'm not too sure that's a possibility with all the grapefruit play you've done.
