As a "connected console"--that is, a gaming system that accesses the Internet for updates or other files--the Xbox 360 enjoys easy application of patches for games and the unit's firmware. But sometimes the updates don't go quite as planned and need to be patched themselves.
Today, Microsoft rolled out a patch for Xbox 360s that addresses several issues that arose from the previous fall update. The biggest fix added 1080p support for high-definition video output over VGA cables.
Also included, according to Microsoft's Major Nelson, is "improved plug-and-play performance for wired headsets when being used with wireless controllers," and more accurate recently played games lists.
Major Nelson also notes that the update is being made available all over the world, so it may not be live in some regions yet.
