Xbox 360 Color Issues Update Released February 16, 2012

Since the recent Fall Update (2011), there have been many online 360 users that have been complaining to Microsoft that there were issues with color vibrancy with third-party video apps used by the Xbox 360.  During beta testing the issues, they claim, were mostly ignored or swept under the rug.  When the update released and many more Live users noticed the problem, Microsoft promised they would fix the issue, and today, they have released a required update which lists a fix to color issues as part of its patch notes.

According to the details of the update, the third-party programs may need to be updated in order for full color compatibility, and that may take some time.  From what I heard, people were complaining about this issue in programs like Netflix, but oddly did not have such an issue with Microsoft’s Zune program.

You will be automatically notified about the update upon initial login to Xbox Live.  The patch is required for Live access.
