THE BUZZ: Microsoft is currently pushing out a new Xbox 360 Dashboard update to consoles worldwide.

The most recent update takes the dashboard to version 2.0.14719.0, however you won’t notice anything different as all changes are behind the scenes.

“Nothing visible, just behind the scenes stuff to keep Xbox Live the best experience possible,” Xbox social marketing manager Graeme Boyd mentioned on Twitter.

This is in addition to the update last week which fixed various color issues with video playback and pushed the Indie games section to the Marketplace front panel in the U.S. only.

EGM’s TAKE: Just another routine update to the Xbox 360, nothing to see here, literally. If at all possible it would be nice if the next update sped up the new dashboard slightly as it goes like a snail at the moment.
