An inside source at Microsoft informed the guys at xboxic about an upcoming update for the Xbox 360. Microsoft hopes the update will address the common problems in both games and the system itself writes xboxic. It will contain fixes for all currently known lockups in games, missing or impossible to get achievements and a bunch of new functionality in the Dashboard.
The Xbox 360 webcam accessory is going to be released simultaneously or slightly after, because one of the Dashboard modifications is going to be camera support.

Gaming stores in the US are taking orders for the Xbox 360 release of 2006, Halo 3. Some stores are already displaying banners and assorted goodies with Halo 3 logos, inscribed ‘Coming 2006 – Reserve yours today.’
This whole pre-order thing is going a little to far, Microsoft has been mute on the Halo 3 launch. The only hint the company gave was when Bill Gates said that the PS3 would ‘walk right into’ Halo 3 upon its release.
So that could be Spring or it Could be November 2006. Knowing Microsoft that will probably be November.
