New Xbox360 system update

[MasterShredder]

I just turned on my 360 and it wanted to download a new system update. Anyone know what this changes?

Interesting...same thing here...wonder what it does.

They aren't saying what it does specifically.

The March 2006 Xbox 360™ update will prepare your Xbox 360 console for future system and title updates. This free* update is available to all Xbox Live® members. Your console will be updated the next time you sign in to Xbox Live.

Translation: none of your business

I know on the Ninja Gaiden Black GameFAQ's forums a few weeks ago there was a promise of a major emulation update due soon. Maybe this is it?

I doubt it...MS would probably make a bigger deal about it.

I can't wait for Street Fighter in XBLA.

Yeah...if it was something beneficial to the consumer they'd tell us. This is most likely more anti-piracy measures. MS keeps tabs on the development of that I'm sure... so if they see a potential system exploit where someone could create a mod I'm sure they just patch the system up.

That'll be the difference between modding the 360 and the Xbox. If you want to go online at all you're going to have to update the Xbox Live software...doing that will probably screw you if you're modded (when there are even mods) We'll see though...
