Xbox Live spokesman Major Nelson said on his show this week that the next update for the 360 would increase the speed of the guide. “Whatever we call it (and it’s not going to be called the NNXE), but whatever the next version of the dashboard is called, it’s better with a lot of very cool new features,” he said. “That update will be out later this year.” We figure that the update will...

Though I’m not at all certain that a Red Ring of Death is something to celebrate, per se (they’re usually occasions of anger and misery in my neighborhood), I suppose it’s nice to take something awful and turn it into something cool. Or rather, something that helps keep condensation off your nice table.
And look! A bonus amateur beer ad.
