A bunch of Xbox Live related news with Microsoft wanting to speed up the approval process for game and fixes are being done for both video playback along with color issues since the last dashboard update.
Microsoft is in the process of improving and speeding up the approval process for in-game patches. The goal is to both reduce the time needed from patch submission to an actual Xbox update. They also wanted to reduce the wait time as both a way to please consumers and developers at the same time. The Xbox Live Arcade version of Minecraft will become the first game to benefit and act as a test for the improved process.
Mircosoft is also working on a couple of fixes involving color issues and video playback capabilities that ended up becoming broken or crippled from the recent dashboard update. They announced the color issues has no exact release date for the fixes to be done but are being worked on with the hope of having it ready in the near future.

In regards to video playback issues, the company has acknowledged the recent dashboard update is the sole reason for the problem. It was widespread enough to even affect videos and apps that were designed to work the best with the new dashboard.No exact window was given for the fixes to arrive but like the color issues, the patch should be arriving in the near future.
