New Xbox 360 Firmware Update Brings PayPal Functionality
Head's up to all Xbox 360 gamers, Microsoft has announced that they have started rolling out the latest dashboard update for the console, which adds PayPal and auto-standby functionality.
"Once you’ve linked your PayPal account to your Xbox Live account on Xbox.com, you’ll be off and running to use it as a billing option, allowing you to buy content such as Microsoft Points, Xbox Live Gold subscriptions and Games on Demand titles," notes Larry 'Major Nelson' Hryb, director of programming for Xbox Live.
"We are rolling out the Xbox 360 System Update gradually to all Xbox Live users starting today and throughout the next couple weeks to ensure a high quality deployment," he said. "Just like any other update to our service, you will know you’ve received it when you turn on your Xbox 360 console, connect to Xbox Live and receive a notification to download the update. It’s important to note that it may take a few days to make its way around the globe. Thanks for your patience if you don’t get it right away!
The Major also added that this particular update also introduces an auto-standby feature "that places your console on standby if it’s idle for more than one hour, helping to reduce power consumption." This feature will be automatically enabled after you downloaded the update. You can change this setting in the System Settings on your console.
