Recent Xbox 360 Update- Is It Just Me?

[Invader]

Okay, so Microsoft just released a new update for the '360, including a total overhaul of all the menus and features the system boasts.

However, has anyone else experienced some EPIC upgrades to some games? I am extremely confident that they kicked up the memory usage of the machine about a thousand notches. Here's some things I've experienced:

BioShock 2: Has the frame rate of a premium gaming computer, and the graphics to go with it now. Used to have a good frame rate and respectable graphincs, but now it's got an amazing frame rate, and graphical effects seem to have been kicked up.

Red Dead Redemption: Again, a higher frame rate and now the draw distance has been extremely upgraded. On the road along the cliff to MacFarlane's Ranch, the shadow at about noon would be irritating- it would cut out not-too-many feet away from the player. Now the entire shadow is visible before you even get on the road. Grass would kinda dissapear not too far away, too. Now you can see it spanning for a long distance away.

Anyone else experience anything like this?

Haven't updatey 360 yet, hopefully if it has made these changes it helps with some of the frame rate issues that pop up in New Vegas every now and then, will have to update it tomorrow to find out.

Uh... Everything looks so ugly now, just so people with kinect have no trouble clicking on things.

Thats kind of an unneccessary change, considering they showed off at E3 how Kinnect has voice control, changing menus should have been a non issue.

Yeah, it's pretty ugly, but I kinda like it for the sole reason that it's fresh and a change of pace. Sort of. It really doesn't change pace at all, but whatever.

I like the way it looks...

all the white burns my eyes. But i adapted.
I think Kinect is stupid but at the same time revolutionary. I wont get one until they come out with a serious hardcore game with Kinect..

Hmm i wonder if Ken Levine will announce that Infinete will be Kinect compatable...that would be interesting.

...your right snapping your fingers to use incinerate or using the guns to a more realistic extent wouldnt make it better but worse....idc anyway the game is still dreadful to me.
