Major Nelson has confirmed that a major update to the Xbo 360 will be happening in about a week’s time.  Some of the updates will include background downloading (finally) and some marketplace improvements.

I am really looking forward to the background downloads, as there have been many a time that I wished I could be downloading something while browsing the marketplace.  Hey, I wonder if we will even be able to get our game on while downloading?  It would be nice if we had the option to play a little Geometry Wars while waiting for the latest demo to finish downloading.
