[Update] Major Nelson has now posted the a response to the Update with it being a “Behind the scenes foundational improvement that will not be visually noticeable, but will help enable an easy update this Fall.” For those who are having problems with Datel Controllers then click here to be taken to the Xbox Support Page.



If you turn on your Xbox 360 today you will have noticed an Update occured. So far the changes this Update has brought has been the removal of the Sky Player tab that sat inbetween the social and video tabs on the Xbox LIVE UK Dashboard

The SKY tab has now been added back to the UK Xbox LIVE Dashboard. The following changes with the Update are below.

Bing and Dashboard Kinect Voice search now supported for for Australia and New Zealand.

Account Security option added – just a few old settings like Changing Password, removing your messenger password, changing LIVE IDs for your account, requiring password at sign-in and a Xbox LIVE pass code, just a move around of the UI.

Manage Exercise Info option added – this allows you to (optionally) tell Xbox the following: your height, weight, year of birth, and gender. Information for it says: “These attributes are used by Xbox and some Kinect games and apps to improve estimates of your exercise stats. Exercise stats include fitness scores from calorie burn, time played, physical intensity of movement, and feedback from physical activity.”

And an update to the text on the social tab that now has the text Avatar Store with a small icon beside it and a Sign In Or Out option. More information will be posted shortly with any internal updates onto the Xbox 360 itself, so stay tuned.

Major Nelson has also tweeted the below in regards to the new Update.

Which could be in conjunction with what looked to be a bit of cosmetic change for the current Metro UI that was seen at E3 2012 during the Microsoft Conference, which was not spoken about, as seen below. This is pure speculation.
