Xbox 360 Spring Update Coming From Microsoft - Page 2

- A new option in Auto Downloads provides faster access to the entire collection of free, trial-version Xbox Live Arcade games.

- 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.

- Extension of the background download functionality will allow owners to set their Xbox 360 console to turn off automatically after downloads are complete.

- When a user selects an item for download from Marketplace then the system will determine if there is sufficient disk space for the item and, if not, will ask the user to delete content on the HDD. The system provides a sorted by size list of videos, game trailers, demos and arcade content to aid the user in the deletion process. The same list of items is also available from within memory so that users can quickly see which items are consuming the most disk space.

- Support for H.264, MPEG-4, PlaysForSure.

The Spring Update will be free starting the week of May 7 and will be accessible to every Xbox 360 owner through Xbox Live or on Xbox.com.
