Xbox 360 Major Dashboard Update Announced

Microsoft is finally updating the Xbox 360 Dashboard and there are some pretty nice things we can expect to see:

Background downloading.
Downloads will pause when you are playing online to give the best possible online experience.
Boot-To-Dashboard function.
Improved media playback and controls.
Full USB keyboard support.
Improved Marketplace layout.

Xbox Live users will be able to download this update in about a week, and for those without an Internet connection you can expect to see this update bundled with future game discs. Sounds like a sweet update to me.
