360 fall dashboard update leaked

Last week at the now shambled mess our poor industry calls "E3", Microsoft showed off a fancy new 360 dashboard, entitling it "The Xbox Experience", giving themselves the self-importance normally reserved for kings. Luckily, we do have some very naughty people in our industry who like to take down companies a peg or two and force them to up their security, and low and behold someone has only gone and leaked the new fancy dashboard update over at the Maxconsole forums.

Apparently it's useless at the moment as it needs to get some files from Xbox Live, obviously currently unavailable on the service, but some enterprising modders are trying to find a way to get it running. Microsoft contacted Maxconsole to remove the link to the offending file on the forum, thus practically confirming it's authenticity. Hopefully this won't delay the release of the update, we've had to wait long enough as it is.
