While not exactly mind blowing in features, the next time you boot up the old HD-DVD drive for the Xbox 360 when you’re connected to LIVE, you’ll be prompted for an auto-update.
Mostly just pure housekeeping bug fixes and added support, but the key item would be enhanced support for the Xbox 360 Elite’s HDMI port.
The list of updates is as follows:
- Added “Dynamic Range Control” toggle for digital audio output
- Improved HD DVD networking support
- Improved HD DVD title compatibility
- Improved performance with MPEG-4 AVC / H.264
- 1080p via HDMI is supported on the Xbox 360 Elite with HDCP compliant displays
- Improved parental controls
- Added option for user to select from the following audio output formats via TOSLINK or HDMI:
- Digital Stereo (2 channel PCM)
- Dolby Digital 5.1
- DTS 5.1
- WMA Pro
Nothing to write home about, but still plenty of welcome additions.
