        There was a post awhile back about a patch for the dashboard, but never any proof that it was real. So I have no clue if one's even coming.

          I thought I read an article that said March.

          Can't remember where it was.

            There is your link to a article about it sounds sweet

            What i would like to see(stole the ideas of maddenmania post so credit for the ideas go to runam0k of MM)
            - Bug fixes, obviously
            - Downloads in the background (or a download later list).
            - Improved media capabilities -- streaming movies from XP?
            - Deleting Achievements (for the games you tried but didn't like)
            - Groups for the Friends List
            - More theme options (I'm thinking font colour and pics per blade at the very least)
            - Better organised Marketplace

              This is speculation but I wonder if they are going to open up the Market Place to trade game saves, rosters etc... It would be a nice coincidence with the subsequent release of College Hoops 2K6 around that same timeframe..

                Re: Does anyone know when MS will release the new dashboard patch?

                On January 20th, 2006 on the the OS boards Steve posted an article, "Major updates for dashboard and games..." That's where I got it from, however, there was no mention of any dates for. I was just hoping someone here knew anything. I asked my students' at school and they had no idea.

                  Holy Crap!! That's like the best idea I've heard so far. That would be sweet. Only thing is that it would seriously require me to buy marketplace points of which I have no money for at this time. Guess I have to wait for payday and hope that I get nice love.......

                    While that's an awesome idea, I'm pretty sure it would be illegal for anyone (including regular XBL users) to sell roster files with real player names. I don't think MS would allow it. We need an Action Replay device, and we need it before NCAA Football 2007 comes out!!!

                      I would assume that it wouldn't take marketplace points to transfer saves, but I could be wrong.

                        Even if it were free to share roster files I don't think MS would allow it. It's the Napster problem.

                          It's not specifically to share rosters, it's to share game files from gamer to gamer.

                            It doesn't matter. I believe the rule of law established in the Napster cases was approximately that Napster was in violation of copyright law because it knew or should have known that illegal files were being traded on its program, and it had both opportunity and ability to prevent that. Here, it would seem as if MS would clearly have the ability to prevent illegal files from being shared, so they too would be in violation.

                            Of course, that would apply only if user-created game files were held in the same regard as MP3s. We know that sharing MP3 files is illegal because the sharer is violating copyright - if he wants to provide that music, he has to get a license from the copyright-owner to do so. I don't know off-hand of any case where game files have been held in the same regard.

                            Clearly, in the case of game roster-files that contained the names and likenesses of NFL football players, EA would argue that they are the same as MP3s. But I don't think that its as clear-cut as that. I'm also not sure that, in the NFL football hypothetical, EA would even be in the primary position to bring suit against Microsoft if MS enabled its XBOX Live users to trade roster files with NFLPA names and likenesses. EA just bought the license to use those names and likenesses; the NFL (or NFL Players' Association) is the entity that actually owns the rights to those names and likenesses, and as such, they might have the stronger argument against MS.

                            Interesting to see how this plays out.

                              I just thought that the basic idea of the marketplace was the ability of users to share game saves. Maybe I misunderstood but the example that I always heard was the ability for someone to make a skateboard park in Tony Hawk and then be able to share it with other gamers but not necessarily charge a price for it.
