that is awsome.

also for any halo gamers, new map packs are scheduled to be released late december (around jan 1).

this update will give you the maps plus new content for forge and some new playlists. im reading it will be $19.95 (not sure in microsoft points).

im reading the xbox forums and alot of people think the update might come this 15.

This is xbox live's 5th year anniversary, so it is an appropriate time to launch this celebrating it. Also they shut down the site to do maintenance on it.

According to an xbox live staff member who posted earlier, "the fall dashboard update is coming soon, very soon"

Hopefully this is to prepare the servers for the update seeing as in the past they have done the same thing for previous updates
