Xbox 360 update brings much needed improvements

If you are one of the many people who received an email from
Microsoft earlier today, you can now turn your Xbox 360 on and gain
access into the beta update. With the full release just around the
corner, the beta testers will have a firsthand look at the new ‘Games
on Demand’ functionality – which is limited to Xbox 1 titles for now
but will have 360 titles during the full release – and more expansive
Netflix options.Most notably, the dashboard and marketplace seem
to be much quicker than previously. Game information loads instantly
while on the marketplace and everything is much more seamless. There
are still some slow sessions with the guide and taking it down, but, so
far, the update is solid.
