Xbox 360 Spring 2007 Dashboard Update Video

If this one is a fake, it’s a darn good one. The guys over at MyGamerCard.net are saying this was leaked on Gamespot, and subsequently pulled, but not before it was downloaded and placed on YouTube for our benefit. What you will find above is a video walkthrough of the Xbox 360 Spring 2007 Dashboard update. Claiming that it will be released on May 7, 2007, it boast quite a few new features, including:

• Ability to add up to 600 Windows Live Messenger contacts to your Friends List.
• Text chat with up to 6 Live Messenger contacts at once during games or movies.
• The Marketplace will be getting its own Dashboard Blade.
• The Marketplace will be skinned independently of the Dashboard, for special events.
• The Marketplace will be getting a new, easier-to-navigate remake.
• Achievement Pop-ups will now display how many points and which Achievement you have gained.
• Low-power downloading (fans off) and auto-off after finishing queued downloads.
• View partially downloaded video files.

What we like most? The fact that you can start watching movies files before they finish downloading, along with the fact that when you earn an acheivment, you get the details in the pop-up notification instead of having to hit the guide button for the full scoop. Everything else seems to be fluff for the most part, unles you have tons of Windows Live contacts. Our main question? Where the hell is Internet Explorer?

Let us know what you think of the video in the comments.
