Why is it, even though it knows I’m in the UK, do I still get the stupid Yank spelling for everything? Yes it’s petty, but it really bugs me, stamp some English authority down dammit!

I forgot about the part were everybody could get a silver account. I stand corrected.

Hey ARCHA1C, check out my webcam for the hottest feeds of me all alone tonight. I’m all yours, whenever, baby.

Is that what you guys want to receive every 30 mins? Keep it to gold only.

Yup it’s obvious but Nino wrote that line in the article and he’s on Silver right now, so he was feeling unfairly left out

I think the reason that they witheld support for sending messages for silver members is that any idiot can go to xbox.com forums and sign up for a free silver account without ever even using live, owning a xbox or 360, and begin spamming users away (cough…sony fanboys and other troublemakers).

I suspect that some of the work today was backend upgrades to support the dashboard update.

I think it may be more of a regulatory issue. Since silver members arent required to provide any REAL personal information, should they do or say something offensive, there would be no way for MS to repremand them… no consequences… Also, people without a console could even get in on the messaging, which could get out of hand. At least if people have a gold membership, you can almost certainly bet that they also own a console… or are a complete idiot with $$$ to burn

And the Live Service

That would be content for a dashboard update, this was an update for Xbox.com

Be sure to keep your gold subscription up because MS thinks it makes sense not to allow silver members to send messages ;).

When can we expect this new dashboard update? E3?

No idea. Major Nelson was pretty adamant about it not appearing near this Xbox.com update, and when I spoke to him last week about it I didn’t have the feeling it was ‘nearly finished’. E3 might be too soon for it.

This is nice… I feel like the boy in the bubble every time I go on xbox.com and see a buddy there but can’t do anything to contact them… very frustrating indeed (and pathetic)… this is pretty cool… I’m just impressed with the upgradability (word?) of this whole platform. Truly revolutionary.

Yeah, some cool new features. When can we expect this new dashboard update? E3?
