New Xbox 360 dashboard update roll-out begins
"To ensure a stable release, this will be a gradual deployment across subscribers and regions over the course of the next week," said Major Nelson.
"Our initial deployment will reach approximately three million consoles worldwide, with additional users being updated over the course of a couple weeks."
The update will include the following features:
Refreshed Xbox 360 Dashboard: We've updated the UI with a few things, including an updated layout with more tiles, a combined TV & Movies channel and, in the US, a Sports destination
Internet Explorer for Xbox: With Internet Explorer on Xbox, you can easily find and view internet content on the biggest screen in the house, including HTML5 videos
Recommendations and Ratings: Recommendations will allow you to discover new favorites, generated based on a number of variables including the content you previously viewed, what your friends are consuming and what is most relevant and popular with our Xbox community. You can now rate content yourself and also see Rotten Tomatoes ratings
Pinning: Pinning lets you personalize the dashboard by saving your favorite movies, TV shows, games, music, videos and websites right to the home screen. It's as easy as opening an app or a favorite movie and clicking "pin"
Xbox Video: Formerly called Zune Video Marketplace, Xbox Video offers hundreds of thousands of TV shows and movies for buying or renting in instant HD streaming
Recent: Previously called Quick Play, the Recent view gives you a list of movies, games, apps or other types of content that you most recently accessed on the console
Enhanced Search: The last Xbox LIVE update brought Bing voice search to Xbox so you could use voice to search for movies, TV shows, actors, directors and artists. This year we added genre search to the list, so now you can search for action, comedy, romance, drama or sci-fi. Bing voice search now includes results for video across the Web, including YouTube
International Expansion of Voice Search: We've expanded our Kinect voice search capabilities to 9 new countries - Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Italy, Spain, Austria, and Ireland
Xbox Music launched yesterday, while Xbox SmartGlass is also set to launch on the Windows 8 release date of October 26.

No you didn't. You had the beta. This isn't the beta.
Actually people in the beta including myself have received quite a few updates throughout the summer. We may actually have the real deal.
Correct. I also got the beta within weeks of them releasing Beta Keys, and I've received an additional 3 or 4 more updates. I'm assuming these were minor bugs, but the latest update was like 3 days ago or so so I'm assuming by that, that I have the actual new dashboard update out of beta.

So now that the update is out, does that mean that the beta is done and the e-contract is expired?
