Likely not. Although people look stupid when they say "MAC" instead of "Mac" since the MAC acronym has a specific meaning, and everyone knows that Mac is short for Macintosh. Worrying about the capitalization on XBox LIVE is stupid because it's just arbitrary branding-related capitalization and doesn't change the meaning.

That out of the way, I'm not entirely convinced they won't be rolling out the new dashboard..they did say they'd do it in Fall, right? I'm looking forward to Netflix on the XBox :)]]>Sep 27th 2008 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/i been waiting for this alot! when is the update coming microsoft?????????]]>Sep 26th 2008 11:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/Sep 26th 2008 11:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/Sep 26th 2008 11:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/Sep 26th 2008 11:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/Sep 26th 2008 11:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/Sep 27th 2008 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/Sep 27th 2008 10:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/Sep 27th 2008 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/Sep 29th 2008 8:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/Sep 26th 2008 11:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/Sep 26th 2008 11:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/Sep 27th 2008 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/Sep 26th 2008 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/Sep 27th 2008 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/Sep 27th 2008 1:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/Sep 27th 2008 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/
Personally, I'm really looking forward to the update for the Netflix streaming capabilities and got excited that it was coming with this maintenance. Oh well.

BUT, while you won't be able to use the in-game Music Store, you can go to the Rock Band 2 section in Marketplace and download the songs right now, before the outage happens. That way, when you get the game on Monday and LIVE is down, you'd already downloaded some songs.]]>Sep 27th 2008 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/

Let's hope that it prevents any outage during the holidays this year.]]>Sep 27th 2008 8:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/Sep 27th 2008 8:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/Sep 27th 2008 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/microsofts-xbox-live-zune-services-to-be-down-simultaneously-t/
Then i sent it in to Engadget.

Then i read the "Inside Xbox" and found it wouldn't be the actual update....

Games have been missing and the current method of getting games is not integrated at all. Marketplace should offer a simple way to get games, hopefully it will.
Also, Marketplace hasnt been brought to Canada yet, and it was promised to come in late 2008. Would there need to be a server outage for Marketplace to come to Canada?
