Xbox Live's Major Nelson

Xbox 360 System update now available (no new features)

A few minutes ago, the team released a system update for the Xbox 360 over Xbox LIVE. Sometime over the next few hours when you sign in to Xbox LIVE you’ll recieve a prompt to accept this mandatory update. This update contains code to ‘prepare for future growth of the service.’ There are no other changes or enhancements in this update…in other words no new features. The next obvious question you’ll have is about the Spring update. At this point we have nothing to announce, and the moment there is information to share I will do so.

I got booted off of Xbox live at 2:30am PT.  When I signed back in the mandatory update was there.

Talk about tiptoeing around the truth.

I'd like to know what this "future growth of the service" actually is.

"prepare for future growth of the service."? That's vague and not at all reassuring.

It's possibly in preparation for the beta of the XNA community section that will appear in the fall....or it could be something else yet to be announced --- oooo000ooo

Interesting...yes I got disconnected as well, and I got the update..but this is by far the strangest reason to update the console if nothing new is being installed at this time..very weird
