What time is the update at?

Bros123 · 03-12-2007 7:35pm #1

Anyone know what time the xbox 360 is out tomorrow?
Is it just after midnight or could it be the afternoon?
it's the first time i have had an update so not sure what time they are normally released.

Well according to the Major Nelson podcast it'll start going out at 02:00 Pacific, which works out at about 10 AM our time tomorrow I think. However they said it may take up to 4 hours for everyone to receive it.

Won't be waiting up so!

I wouldn't anyway. Wait at least 4 hours after it comes out so other people can test this update.

There's been more than one update from more than one company that has bricked a product in the past. Don't risk being the first user to install the update. Wait until you know there are no issues with it first.

There has already been a problem found with the update.

I didn't realise a new feature of the update would allow you to change your e-mail address that is associated with your LiveID.

LegacyUser · 04-12-2007 1:21pm

Was reading about this on XBOX forums and they say they will have a fix out within a few days.

So has anyone downloaded it yet? If not ill probably go do it im not scared :rolleyes:

hey bucks sweet gamer picture

el dude · 04-12-2007 2:05pm

I've downloaded it. I've noticed when you press the xbox button on your pad it reacts much quicker, which i have to admit was something that bugged me. Layout on Markeplace has been changed...again.

rcs · 04-12-2007 2:30pm

Anyone try DivX with it yet ?

mayordenis · 04-12-2007 3:03pm

Reads off a dvd-r fine for me. You have to go into the disc via video in the media blade.

In fairness to them though that is going to be a problem with the forums rather than with the update itself. This is actually something I was trying to do before though so that I could merge my Live! account with my MSN one that I setup seperately.

I also noticed that it seems to load your theme and log you in before it boots to the dashboard, and then it logs you into live (but this could just be because it was the first boot after applying the update...)
Much prefer it that way anyway, it was fairly annoying the way it took you back to the top of a menu if you were trying to go to something before the theme had loaded

/edit
yup, it was only the first time that I'd booted after updating

TheDoc · 04-12-2007 5:56pm

just downloaded this second, first reaction

**** the dashboard is moving fast :P

significant increase in speed.

Aint tried a divx thing or avi yet will do soon though

marketplace looks much better imo, faster to browse through and easier to see cool new features.

other then that, what other changes are there :P

o and xbox originals, that looks a gr8 thing

also 120gb HD's can now be bought seperate, at a not so reasonable price

thebman · 04-12-2007 6:25pm

I imagine the divx has to be renamed and AVI to work does it?

Or does it work with .divx files?

faceman · 04-12-2007 6:42pm

Anyone have a link to all the changes contained in the update?

ciano1 · 04-12-2007 7:19pm

YAY under 18's can now use windows live messenger

phew i was trying to change the email address of my gamertag today but it wouldnt let me because the address was already on another gamertag

TheDoc · 04-12-2007 7:35pm

i was messing around with the video tab and stumbled across something

before update i could never access my pc, i dont have media centre.

but now, its letting me stream video content and pictures and music from my pc
at this very moment im browsing youtube

Anyone else notice this?

youtube, in crisp resolution, on a 32inch tv, is class

im here looking up top sties

i didnt see an update for web browsing

or have i got a major, deadly, bug :P

*premature ejaculation there, videos fail after buggering*

But as a query, how would i go about viewing **** from my pc to the xbox, its picking up my pc connection which it enver did before, just now need to now how i make things work.

Like if i have a movie on the pc i want to stream, how do i go about doing it?

btw recent release of winamp shows support for xbox 360, that got anything to do with it?

faceman · 04-12-2007 10:28pm

I updated without issue earlier and played a few problem free games of COD4. However xbox live appears to be down now!!

TheDoc · 04-12-2007 10:36pm

was getting serious lag on halo

Lord Deco · 04-12-2007 11:37pm

yup it works ,i've just watch heroes through my usb drive and watched a .avi that was on a dvd-r written as data...

Very nice

Kazu · 04-12-2007 11:55pm

updated can watch heros now class

thebman · 05-12-2007 12:31am

Works brillantly. Just watched Heroes too at good quality. Ms are gods (but only for tonight)! I can watch a lot of my AVI's now. Not all but I'm not too upset about the ones that aren't playing as that's mostly stuff that friends gave to me that I wasn't all that interested in anyway. I'm just glad I can watch any of them on my 360 as before, I couldn't watch any of my files without TVersity.

JackKelly · 05-12-2007 2:45am

screw heroes, i'm watching kenan and kel!

bucks73 · 05-12-2007 2:54am

Another one here watched Heroes on USB key. Sweet.

TheDoc: I have always been able to access my PC and laptop from the Xbox. They must have windows media player 11 and have sharing to xbox turned on and of course be on the same network.

Batesy · 05-12-2007 9:27am

My 360 is not reacting well to the update!!! It's gone very sluggish all of a sudden and the screen froze 3 times while playing an XBLA game from my harddrive! Had to turn of the console with the front button 3 times. Never had to do this since I got it in Feb.

Anyone else having any issues?

What time is the update at?
