Well, the new Xbox 360 update has been pushed out. I turned on my console this morning to be greeted by the notice that my 360 was going to be updated. So what does the new update add? Not much in terms of functionality.

We get support for the new disc format that should add some additional space for developers to use. Those that want to use Paypal can now use that service to purchase items. I know there are a good amount of Paypal folks out there. Finally, there's a new auto standby mode where the console will automatically go into a low power mode after an hour of non-usage. It's an option you can turn on or off but it's on by default after the update.

So nothing really Earth shattering in terms of added items in the update, but there you go.
