Another Fall Update news
The upcoming Fall Update for the 360, the one with the Zune UI, has some additional variations, which we may or may not have , but as reading Joystiq’s Xbox 360 Fall Update details spilled by MS Japan.
They may really be an additional update for the box, Microsoft Japan recently detailed the new features in the coming Xbox 360 Fall Dashboard Update on December 4.
Additional Fall Update features:
- Reorganization of the “games” blade (pictured above), which now features the “Games Library” (in place of “Xbox Live Arcade”), in addition to the old “Achievements” and “Played Games” sections.
- horizontal sorting menu, broken down by filters like “All Games,” “Arcade,” “Demos,” and “Recent Downloads.”
- Top level of “marketplace” has been reorganized and reduced to four categories: “Featured Content,” “What’s New,” “Game Store,” and “Video Store” (below top level, categories will be navigated by twist, just like the Games Library)
- “Personal Profile” added to Gamer Profile; text field allowing approx. 500-1000 characters, providing space to publish name, nationality, region, and self introduction. (Further social networking tools to accompany ‘Friends of Friends’ functionality)
- XBLA demos deleted from “Played Games” and Gamercard lists
