Microsoft is set to push the next dashboard out from May 19th – May 30th. The want to section off the distribution to provide optimal service throughout the mass download period and ensure and bugs or flaws are isolated. That is just around the corner! Some of the main features coming with the newest update (but may not be directly a result from the update) are:
- Avatar Kinect on May 27th
- Xbox Game Disc Format (XGD3)
- The new disc format being beta tested in a new dashboard upgrade adds 1GB to the storage of Xbox 360 game discs.
The maximum space allocated to game data on the current disc format is just 6.8GB out of a maximum of 7.95GB on a standard dual layer DVD, with over 1GB dedicated to a DVD-Video partition that also contained anti-piracy security sectors. It seems that this video partition has either been drastically reduced or omitted completely in the new format Microsoft is looking to roll-out.
