As you should know by now, the Spring Dashboard Update has dropped onto Live as of this morning. The dashboard update adds some really great features.
- Windows Live Messenger Integration (outstanding!)
- Marketplace now resides on its own blade.
- Achievements now show the point value in the popup.
- New progressive download controls provide easy access to optimal viewing options by letting people fast-forward, rewind, pause and resume as their video is downloaded from Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
- Low-power/auto shutoff for downloads.
- The name of game in tray is now displayed in the dashboard (with info about the game when you highlight it).
In other news, another clanner has reached a milestone. Swede Snake passed her 1k gamerscore mark when she completed the 20K points achievement in Lumines Live this weekend. Woot.
On the racing front, the Forza 2 demo is expected to hit marketplace in the next 24-hours. This is a must-buy when it comes out on the 28th, but grab the demo to hold you over until then.
Lastly, what an awesome night in H2 last night. Hopefully we will do that more often!

Thanks for the great recap Shark. I'm looking forward to test driving the new dashboard when I get home. And Timo is crapping his pants in anticipation of the Froza demo.
Congrats to Swede Snake for garnering a grand+7 in the gamerscore arena. I added her gamercard to the blog. Everyone should click on it to see her profile. She has one of the best mottos yet. Maybe it'll start a trend?
I too had a blast on H2 last night. Can't wait for the 16th to roll around. Do you think we'll be posting H3 vid clips on the blog? I sure hope so.
