Xbox LIVE Dashboard update:

On Wednesday, January 19th we will issue a mandatory dashboard update that (re) enables the ‘Boot to Disc’ option in the Xbox 360 dashboard. After you accept the update, you’ll be able to set the option to boot to the Xbox 360 dashboard OR directly to the game you have in the tray when you power up your console. This option can be found in the System Settings.



Xbox.com update:

Additionally, on Thursday January 20th the Xbox.com team will ship an update that contains a small update to the Gamercards. We’ve updated the Gamercard look and feel a bit and removed gamerzone from the card. Other than that, the same amount of information is on the card. Here is an example:

I haven't booted up my 360 in a while. I fail to see the point of the first one, but oh well. It's mandatory so my complaining is useless. However, I like the fact that they're getting rid if the gamer zone.
 
Wasn't that boot to disc always there? I always have it set to off because I don't always want to launch straight to the game.

Well if it's a new out of the Xbox 360? Yeah it has to be told by you if you want it boot to disc. Otherwise the default waits for you to start it up.

yeah, isn't that the same thing as this? I've always been able to manually shut it off or on. This is weird.
