Ok, damn you Wikipedia and damn you Microsoft!

I was so buzzed earlier when I read this on Wiki;

"The latest Dashboard update, revision 2.0.6717.0, was made available on August 6, 2008."

I got all excited, eager to try out the new "install to HDD" option on my 360, only to find out what? It's just a STANDARD dashboard update! What the fucking hell? Why the hell is MS issuing updates to the dashboard that it plans to just replace this Autumn? That honestly makes no sense.

On a totally related note, honest, when exactly IS this fabled "Autumn 2008" update? August? September? October? LATER? I WANT MY HDD INSTALLS, DAGNAMMIT!

Here's a possible explanaition from Xbox-Scene

Quote:
I suspect that this most recent dash update might just add a list of new servers for first logging into the Xbox Live service. If you listen to E on the last episode of the Major Nelson podcast he said that his team at Xbox Live is getting ready to work their tails off an add servers and network infrastructure. Xbox Live does this when they expect they are going to have a big new number of sales of new Xbox hardware. They have occasionally done this around the launch of GTA IV size games to insure that the Xbox Live service does not get overwhelmed again like it did in December 07/ January 08.
