360 Reboot? (Rumor)


Look how much fun they're having, unfortunately the 360 sales figures have been slowly declining and we all know about that great new Dashboard Update coming out in November. Any chance it may be coming out in September? That's the word going across the Internet. Supposedly there will be a 5 hour block on G4 dedicated to the new Live Experience, Sirius Radio integration, music store like iTunes, "mad lib" channel (your guess is as good as mine), dozen new game demos, previews of the new GTA IV DLC, new Mass Effect expansion and a free Halo 3 map pack, six free Xbox Originals for Gold members, and about a dozen newly announced retail titles. Then finally to cap it all off at midnight the update would go live and you could jump into this new Live Experience.

So what do you think? Microsoft did hold off on a Bungie/Halo announcement at E3 but I figure they wouldn't want the lid off of a new Halo title until GoW2 is out and in the hands of many. I've got a 50/50 shot on this but I'm going to go with false on this rumor. I think the update will launch in November, and all this free content and games is just the mad musings of some guy. Would I love to be proven wrong? Sure. I just don't see it happening.
