Xbox 360 Dashboard and Kernel Update - Kiosk Disc Blocked *UPDATED* -- Posted by XanTium on January 30 16:09 EST
As mentioned yesterday Microsoft released a mandatory update for dashboard and kernel of the Xbox 360 today. Both Dash and kernel go from version 2.0.2241.0 to 2.0.2255.0, but it looks like the 'background download' feature is not there yet. From teamxbox.com and xbox.com:
[QUOTE]
This free update, is now available over Xbox Live. There are no new features in this release, but rather a series of fixes and enhancements. Some of the items the update addresses are:
* Improved logic around deciding if saved games should be deleted and offer the option to only delete the profile and to leave all save data.
* Users reporting blank Friends List on the Xbox 360 dash after muting a friend while playing a game in Backwards Compatibility mode.
* Improved synching of games played to Web and in console.
* Network settings: keyboard does now allow entry of - (dash) character in the keyboard.
* Improvements to the Xbox Guide.
* Increased accuracy of "last time played."
* Network configuration improvements for Xbox Live members in the Netherlands.
* More detailed messaging for unreadable disk or region errors.
[/QUOTE]
Read More: teamxbox.com and xbox.com.

*UPDATE* Not listed in the 'improvements', but it looks like Microsoft also tightened the security as they blocked the Kiosk Disc (a DVD with demo games sent to shops to run in their Kiosk/Demo Xbox 360 and that was found to be signed to also boot from recordable media) from booting so we can no longer experiment with the unsigned data (like music, videos, bf, swf, ... files) on that disc. Several people have confirmed today on our forums that you'll get an "unrecognized disc" error when inserting the disc in an updated Xbox 360.
There's also an article about it on gamasutra.com.
The update is mandatory if you want to be able to sign-in on LIVE.
