Default DRM Changes Coming Soon and Rumour: No Spring Update This Year

Whitten also told us that there would be no spring dashboard update for Xbox 360 owners this year, saying that resources were instead focused on “building the proper infrastructure and scale for the service.” There will however be a change to DRM policy and a tool released next month that will allow 360 owners to re-license content to a single console—finally fixing the issue that forced gamers playing XBLA games to be connected to Xbox LIVE if their 360 broke down and was replaced.

Linked to from majornelson.com, I'd say it's legit.

Here's a comment from the website.

Two points I need to make here.

1. To Ross, you can simply redownload the title using the Account History/Download History feature on the console that has been there since day one. One should not criticize a move if one does not understand it.

2. To Joe Keiser, I must admit you've created quite a stir by posting innuendo as fact. Marc never once stated during the interview that there would not be a Spring Update, and if he did you didn't post that quote.

To illuminate the issue for readers Marc actually said the following: 'We have taken a different approach this spring and spent a lot of our time and resources of building the proper infrastructure and scale for the service not just today but also into the future. So while most users will not notice any significant changes to the dashboard this spring, I can tell you that the team will be releasing a new digital rights management (DRM) tool next month that will allow you to better consolidate your licenses for downloaded content to a single Xbox and allow you the freedom to be able to play your content both online and offline.'

Ok note the bolded area. Right there Marc said that most users won't notice changes to the dashboard. He didn't say that there wouldn't be an update. He merely said that most people won't notice significant changes.

So thank you Joe for shoddy journalism (either due to wanting your name in lights or due to improper editing), kudos to you.

Valid point there. We likely will recieve a small update for this, but nothing on the scale of previous spring/fall updates.

I guess they are waiting to see what new features Sony gives the PS3 and then come with a huge Winter update to boost Holiday sales... hopefully.

It seems several other sites are now reporting no spring update as well, so no idea why my thread title was changed, but whatever.

I'll change it to rumour due to the conflicting reports.
