UPDATE: We’ve told Microsoft that the Xbox 360 update now released appears to be doing more damage than good. Reports are flooding in that it’s causing the Red Ring of Death, or RROD as soon as it’s installed, so find out Microsoft’s response if you’ve been affected.



The Xbox 360 bug fix update we predicted yesterday has been confirmed, and it’ll be released today!

A post on Major Nelson of the Launch Team’s blog today states that from 0200 Pacific time today, “when you sign into Xbox Live you’ll be prompted for a mandatory dashboard update.”

The update should fix the bug that’s plagued many Xbox owners who connect the console to their TV via a HDMI cable, but have had no sound since the NXE update late last year, so it’s good news for all those affected. We’ve flicked ours on and there doesn’t seem to be anything yet, but then, it’s not 0200 Pacific Time by our watches. We’ll keep you posted if anything changes.
