The biggest change in the update is more defense against piracy.

The new auto-standby feature is nice. It'll now shut down after an hour - I think the old timer was 6 hours, which is kind of nuts.

I think it's safe to say that if I haven't touched my controller for an hour, I'm probably not playing a game. :roll:

Oh cool...I've actually been waiting for this! I had no idea it was in the works but I've always thought the 6 hour timer was ridiculous...now I can watch Netflix in bed and not worry about falling asleep and leaving my Xbox on for hours.

How does the timer work though? Does the screen have to not be changed or anything? Like a DVD title menu? If it actually turns off after an hour of the same screen/controller not being touched then thats awesome. I do the same thing when i fall asleep watching a movie too.

Not sure about a DVD, because of the title screen (never watched a DVD on my Xbox); but if you watch Netflix, or any other streaming/downloaded video, it should shut off an hour after the video ends.
