Xbox 360 Live Update 2/5/09 - February 5, 2009

As some of you might already know, as soon as you sign into Xbox 360 today, 2/5/09, you will be prompted to download the latest update.

What is this Update?

The update addresses the issue that a few people were having with audio and their HDMI connection. This update will be mandatory for all Xbox LIVE members around the world. This update was available on Feb 3rd, 2009. The problem, which popped up following the November 19 launch of the New Xbox Experience, left some Xbox 360 users without sound on certain HDMI-connected displays. Prior to the NXE, these devices properly outputted Xbox 360 HDMI audio.

Feedback: An update for Fable 2 and GTA 4 that are crashing since this NXE would be better IMO.

Stimulus Package 2/5/09 - February 5, 2009

The Stimulus Package is headed to the US Senate today, 2/5/09, as the job losses keep adding up. Governor Jennifer Granholm of Michigan was on CNBC today pleading for the Government to get this package moving and passed. " We cannot wait any longer, things are getting worse, stop just standing around and do something, " Granholm pleaded.

Granholm also stated that this stimulus won't solve the whole problem but it could help stop the slide in our economy.

Panasonic announced yesterday it will cut 15,000 jobs
GlaxoSmithKline will axe more jobs, Media reports rumor 8000 - 10,000 jobs will be cut.

Key Stimulus Highlights:

- All stimulus spending must go toward American Goods and Services
- Hopes to create 3-5 million jobs
- Tax credit for home buyers of up to 15,000

Hopefully this package will pass today and we get this thing moving!
