Whats going to be in the Fall Update .....

Well Microsoft likes to keep their cards held very tightly against their chests about what they will include in the Bi-Annual updates to the Console but that doesn't mean we cant speculate ...

We already know by some eagled eyed gamers that read the back of the Guitar Hero III Box that a "Family Timer" will be going in the update (Major and E also reiterated that this will be included yesterday in Major's Podcast)

So that's what we know is coming ... Now lets speculate ...

Peter Moore announced at this years E3 that the Xbox Live Video Marketplace (That launched last year in North America) Will be hitting European shores "by the end of the year" so its a given that that will be in the Update (Or shortly after)

Then comes the rumoured DivX Support that a spokesperson accidentally let slip that Microsoft are working on future collaborations with the company (And speculation is rife that this means it will be included into the 360)

Other than those 3 there hasn't been much talk of the "Fall Update" this time round ...

The Update normally brings a mass of tweaks and functionality improvements to the console (Last time came the inclusion of the Marketplace Blade for Example)

Microsoft are keeping quiet on the Update again and who can blame them ... If they come out with a list and then take things out of the List people will moan and kick up a fuss that they didn't include it , this also works the other way that people moan that they don't know what is in the Update so its a Lose/Lose situation for Microsoft on this front ...
