Microsoft is expected to update the Xbox 360 dashboard any day now - and key features have leaked. The first is Active Download, which was clearly intended from the start (just look at how the download notifier works!). Soon you'll be able to queue up multiple files, and they'll download in the background while you play offline games, watch a DVD or listen to music. If you play online, downloads will pause. Interrupted transfers automatically resume whenever you connect to Xbox Live. Another new feature lets you boot your 360 to the dashboard, regardless of whether there's a game in the drive. The update is expected to ship within the next week. If you're in the mood to download something now, the Hitman: Blood Money demo just hit - but at 783MB, you'll wish you had Active Download now...
