The Xbox 360 dashboard just got updated… to advertise newer Xboxes

Microsoft is still updating the Xbox 360, nearly 20 years later.

Earlier this week some devoted Xbox 360 users booted up their aging consoles to find that Microsoft had updated the home screen to finally resolve an issue with box art. But in addition to that fix, several users on Reddit, as well as Kotaku, have confirmed the update also adds some sizable ads for the Xbox Series X|S consoles to the 360’s dashboard, as spotted by TrueAchievements.

"dark" : "light";document.documentElement.setAttribute(t, a);localStorage.setItem(e, a);})(n);}}));}(); function toggleAriaClick() { function toggleAriaExpanded(toggle = 'true') { document.querySelectorAll('button.navbar-toggle').forEach(function(el) { if ( el.classList.contains('caret-wrap') ) { return; } el.setAttribute('aria-expanded', 'true' === el.getAttribute('aria-expanded') ? 'false' : toggle); }); } toggleAriaExpanded(); if ( document.body.hasAttribute('data-ftrap-listener') ) { return; } document.body.setAttribute('data-ftrap-listener', 'true'); document.addEventListener('ftrap-end', function() { toggleAriaExpanded('false'); }); } var menuCarets=document.querySelectorAll(".nav-ul li > .wrap > .caret");menuCarets.forEach(function(e){e.addEventListener("keydown",e=>{13===e.keyCode&&(e.target.parentElement.classList.toggle("active"),e.target.getAttribute("aria-pressed")&&e.target.setAttribute("aria-pressed","true"===e.target.getAttribute("aria-pressed")?"false":"true"))}),e.parentElement.parentElement.addEventListener("focusout",t=>{!e.parentElement.parentElement.contains(t.relatedTarget)&&(e.parentElement.classList.remove("active"),e.setAttribute("aria-pressed","false"))})}); function initNoLinkDD() { var noLinkDDs = document.querySelectorAll( '.header-menu-sidebar-inner .menu-item-has-children a[href="#"]' ); if( noLinkDDs.length < 1 ) { return; } noLinkDDs.forEach( function (noLinkDD) { var dropdownButton = noLinkDD.parentElement.querySelector('button'); noLinkDD.addEventListener('click', function (e) { e.preventDefault(); dropdownButton.click(); }); }); } window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', initNoLinkDD);
