Xbox 360 1080p Update
Just yesterday Microsoft has released some details about the Xbox 360 dashboard update due to be available today. This update has been eagerly awaited because Microsoft is finally getting on the 1080p bandwagon, after poo-pooing it on the PS3.
That’s right. 1080p on the Xbox 360. Now Microsoft just needs to start convincing developers to create games in 1080p.
Also in this update, we have the ability to play WMV files from a connected PC, disc, or USB storage device. That’s cool. Unfortunately, the PC has to be running Windows Media Connect or Windows Media Player 11.
This update includes 84 fixes, down from 125 last time.
Xbox 360 fall update details revealed: 1080p, auto-download, WMV playback and more

Yeah, that’s one of the big criticisms against this update. Microsoft has said that the Xbox 360 is capable of putting out a digital signal. So everyone is wondering why they haven’t done that yet.
