Discussion [Official] May 19, 2011 Dashboard Update Discussion

[Brother Jordan]

Latest LT+ firmware released! Click here!

It's official, the newest dashboard (2.0.13146.0) will be released to the public May 19th. I will update this thread with updates from my sources on additional information regarding updates this dashboard provides. Here is what has been confirmed:

• Reflashes the DVD drives : PLDS DG-16D4S, PBDS VAD6038 and PLDS DG-16D2S, to a new stock firmware : 0272, 04421C, 02510C.
• Table and anti-piracy 2.5 scheme updated.
• Support for the new XGD3 disk format for games, adds 1GB of usable disk space and extra anti-piracy features to new games (This may not be compatible with some older Xbox 360 SKUs, e.g. those with Lite-On drives circa 2009, which require a console replacement). [2]
• Adds a new 1 hour Auto-Off setting in addition to the 6 hour Auto-Off setting previously available.
• Adds PayPal support as a payment option for all Xbox Live users, except Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Finland, Greece, Hungary, India, Japan, Russia, Polish , South Africa, South Korea and Taiwan[3].
• Avatar Kinect. Allowing players to scan their face in real-time to match with their avatar.
• Adds multi-language voice commands for Kinect. (French and German confirmed.)
• Minor bugfix.

Discussion regarding the update includes when you get it, thoughts about it (what you like, what you don't), any mod related consequences, etc. Keep it relevant and clean.

Here are my sources which I will be sticking to for updates:

Will the face scan work with a Vision Cam?

I imagine it will take place on the Kinect dashboard, so a Kinect is required.

I heard you can reflash your BenQ after the new update unless you saved your DvD key.
Should I update tommorow if i have a Benq flashed

It is possible this can cause a flag. If BenQs and Lite-Ons are re-flashed on this dashboard, it is best to wait for c4eva to determine what to do.

See what others say, most importantly c4eva, first.

I don't think theirs an update today. Probably Tuesday... That's when all the new s*** usually comes.

Hulu for the Xbox is pretty sweet. I can't believe they still have adds for hulu plus though. The two week free trial is nice: www.hulu.com/plus/unlock . If you use a referrer you can get 2 more free weeks btw. I'll probably just stick with netflix though.

Just a heads up, this was not a dashboard update. In fact, no update at all was rolled out today.

That's what it seems like. Hulu plus was just a download. I am going to download and see if it requires a dash update.

Will wait till later to re-name the thread, but I did not receive an update.

Microsoft is playing with us. Did anyone try any burnt games to see if it works?

 

[Miami Heat]

I just went online, nothing to DL, but my Lite on is reading burned games.

 

[DTAHoNDa447]

I have a flashed lite-on as well. Not sure if i want to go online tho

No update was needed to use Hulu. It worked once I set up an account and loaded it.
