The latest update from Microsoft for the Xbox 360 has just gone live. This update's chief feature is the inclusion of extended PayPal support on the popular home console.
The update also includes a power saving feature that will place your console into standby after an hour of inactivity. It also, supposedly, features the update that supports the new disc format for the Xbox 360. This disc format is merely the old DVD's with the DRM information largely removed from the disc thus freeing up quite a bit of additional space.
I am happy to announce that, as a part of a new Xbox 360 System Update, we’re expanding our integration with PayPal to allow U.S. and international Xbox LIVE users to make purchases on their Xbox 360 consoles with their PayPal accounts.* Once you’ve linked your PayPal account to your Xbox LIVE account on Xbox.com, you’ll be off and running to use it as a billing option, allowing you to buy content such as Microsoft Points, Xbox LIVE Gold subscriptions and Games on Demand titles.
