I'm not sure what's in the update, but I highly doubt that we will see the feature where the retail dashboard connects to Live automatically until 2.0 is released in mid September.

XSN is being launched this week for the release of Fever 2004, so maybe it has something to do with that.

Its just a typical Xbox Live update. People have been getting those since Live has first come out.

Expect a little downtime before the new dash does come out, and you will properly get a Xbox Live message from MS stating this.

http://forums.xbox.com/maintenance.htm Looks like they are bringing out the new xbox live website just not the new dashboard just yet.

Really? It does say on the website exactly what they are doing.

Schedule for New Xbox Live Features Check out the new Xbox Live features that are coming your way! Here's exactly what's coming with each part of the upgrade: August Update:  We are in the final stages of verification.  Thanks for your patience! You'll see a fresh new Web site at www.xbox.com/live. This will include an option for Xbox Live subscribers to use their Gamertags to log on to a special area of the site called My Live. Here subscribers will be able to see their Friends List and the games their friends are playing on Xbox Live. A few days later, you'll see the birth of XSN Sports, a Web site powered by the same technology as the new Xbox Live Web site. XSN Sports will enable Xbox Live subscribers to create leagues and tournaments for NFL Fever 2004 and other XSN Sports titles coming later this year. Mid-September We'll release an update of the Xbox Dashboard. The new Xbox Live Dashboard, called Xbox Live Now, will give subscribers the ability to see their Friends List, see what their friends are doing, and send game invites. It will also display their stats and provide a common place to voice chat with friends before and after Xbox Live games.
