Is there any way for me to get the dashboard update apart from going on LIVE, cuz i dont have LIVE?

why....unless ur at a library, you can hook it up and get LIVE right there

unless that ethernet cord dosent reach then never mind



i also heard you can go on xbox.com and download the update to a CD/DVD and put that disc in your 360

xbox.com always release the updates for download and there's a new one for the 360 coming soon

Gamers ask and Xbox 360 delivers with revolutionary free upgrade for all Xbox 360 connected owners

Xbox 360 announces a vigorous system-wide update creating a new pinnacle for next-generation gaming and entertainment. The Xbox 360 spring update will introduce revolutionary features and enhancements adding to Xbox 360’s sheer power, stunning high-definition graphics, rich online capabilities, innovative features for enjoying music, movies and photos, delivering a digital gaming and entertainment experience that simply can’t be matched.

Following the launch of Xbox 360 in December 2005, Microsoft has continuously focused on gamer and community feedback to determine further improvements and enhancements for the evolving next-generation experience on the platform. The result is a power-packed update available instantaneously for all Xbox 360 connected gamers, with features including:


Xbox Live Marketplace Enhancements

New Background download manager gives gamers the ability to queue up and download six high definition items at a time including demos, Xbox Live Arcade games and videos while actively playing games and browsing the dashboard. As an added benefit, if gamers engage in multiplayer gameplay while downloads are in process, the Xbox 360 system will automatically pause the download queue until the multiplayer session is complete ensuring the gameplay experience will not be impacted.
Updated Xbox Live content library makes it easier for players to find and store content on Xbox Live Marketplace with new fields including “All Downloads,” “All New Games” and “All New Videos,” as well as sections for “Game Videos” and “Videos.”
Full remote control features for Xbox Live Marketplace videos allow gamers to fast forward and rewind at various speeds (2X-16X) during all videos downloaded from Marketplace.
Music Player Improvements

Custom background music now continues to play without interruption during game loads and when transitioning from game to game or disc content.
During music play, the music playback screen now contains the artist, song title and time remaining on the song along with a visualizer showing which song on the playlist or album is currently playing.
DVD Movie Playback Upgrades

DVD movie bookmarking now allows gamers to pause a movie at any point, put in a game for gameplay and return to the movie at the exact point it left off.
Improved VGA support and smoother, higher quality DVD movie playback produces optimal viewing experience.
These features, along with more than a hundred other improvements to the system, are available as a free upgrade to all connected owners (Xbox Live Silver or Gold members) from today.

Xbox 360 gamers must be connected to Xbox Live to access the upgrades.
