Xbox 360 PayPal update arrives right on schedule ... in some territories
Most notable, the update includes the option to add your PayPal account as a billing option on the console (it was previously limited to Xbox.com) for Microsoft Points and Marketplace content purchases. The feature will be available to all Xbox Live users, excluding those in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Finland, Greece, Hungary, India, Japan, Russia, South Africa, South Korea and Taiwan. So ... just a few (million) people left out.
Additionally, the new system update adds and enables (by default) an auto-standby feature that's activated after one hour of console inactivity. You can switch it off in System Settings, but ... why? Finally, the update will also introduce support for the new Xbox game disc format (a.k.a. "XGD3"), which adds 1GB of storage capacity and some fresh anti-piracy coating.
According to internal documents we obtained earlier this month, Avatar Kinect is scheduled to be released as a separate update on May 27.

capsfan81996 The update corrupted my modded profiles. Anyone know why?
That'd be the fresh anti-piracy. We knew this was happening the same as we knew the update flashes the drive back to stock each reboot.

TTGBoi something i am wondering is if we stay on the 12625 dashboard, will there be a mod like jtags later on? lol
No. The e-fuse in the cpu already popped and blacklisted those kernals. Jtag hacks are long gone on new dashboards above 7371. The best your getting on a non-jtag is viral mods from a jtag, backups from disc and usb, and other simple mods that are easily patchable.
