Xbox 360 dashboard tweak adds insult to injury a year after the shutdown of the classic marketplace: would you like to buy an Xbox Series X instead?

All I really want are my beloved blades back

If you boot up your Xbox 360 today - yours is still hooked up, right? - you might notice a slight change on the dashboard, fixing an old visual glitch and adding a two-panel suggestion that you might want to upgrade to an Xbox Series X. A year after the original 360 marketplace shut down, it honestly just feels like salt in the wound.

The change was noted by players on Reddit earlier this week, and brought to wider attention by TrueAchievements. I fired up my 360 earlier to confirm and - after a surprisingly difficult process trying to sign online - found that sure enough, the dashboard swaps over to a new configuration the second the console touches the internet.
