New Xbox 360 update tinkers behind the scenes

UPDATE: Fixes voice recognition issues.

UPDATE: Today's Xbox 360 update fixes voice recognition issues, Microsoft's Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb has confirmed.

"Today the team released an Xbox 360 system update to quickly fix some voice recognition issues affecting our non-English speaking members," he tweeted.

ORIGINAL STORY: Microsoft has pushed out a new update to the Xbox 360.

This is in addition to the update released last week that fixed the colour problems caused by last December's dashboard redesign.

Today's update takes your dashboard to version 2.0.14719.0, eagle-eyed gamers on NeoGAF have spotted. According to Xbox social marketing manager Graeme "Aceybongos" Boyd, you won't notice any changes.

"Nothing visible, just behind the scenes stuff to keep Xbox Live the best experience possible," he tweeted.

Last week's dashboard update gave the Xbox Live Indie Games channel added prominence - in the US only. UK gamers are still waiting for this Marketplace change.
