jones

Is there anywhere i can download the final build NXE on the internet and update my xbox via usb key? i dont have it on live you see but i like the sound of a quieter xbox haha!!

i have found several places on the internet but they all seem to be beta versions or pirated - is there no official download from microsoft?

You pretty much need to link it to live temporarily or go to someone's house that has t'interent if that's not possible. Maybe it will be available from xbox.com soon but i'm not sure...

Like all M/S updates you can download them from Xbox.com. And burn them onto CD or USB. M/S know that not everyone has Live so thats what they do. Not sure if its up on the website yet , but it will be.
if you have the internet and can download to a PC why not connect your 360 for 2 mins to get the update. Or are you banned.

I'm sure Xbox360 magazine gives all the updates on the free demo discs they give with the mag. Should look into that.

No not banned (never even singed up to live - psn is the right price for me haha) its just i only have internet in work at the moment (broadband is down) And i'm not sure about hooking up my elite to the office computers haha!!

i'll keep an eye on xbox.com so thanks for the help all

This might be really dumb but i though i remember hearing that updates are sometimes included on game discs? So this update could be included on upcoming games? Please correct me if I'm wrong which I undoubtedly am....

Or maybe on a disc from the next edition of a 360 gaming magazine?

Silver accounts are free, that's all you need for the update but as you have never signed up before, if you do sign up, you'll get a free month of gold for free anyway!

You could be right! i know that the ps3 does that with firmware updates (i usually download them straight from net though).

Thanks for the help

No - you are right. The update is to be included on future games.

From the Xbox.com support section:

Q:What if my Xbox 360 isn’t online? How do I get the update? If I don’t, will my Xbox 360 still work?A:This Autumn, you will need to be connected to Xbox LIVE to download the system update; however we will be making the update available to non-Xbox LIVE members very soon. Your Xbox 360 will work in an offline mode, without the update.

My 360 is banned so I needed to upgrade offline. If you download the update from the 'usual' places and place it an a folder called '$SystemUpdate it will automatically detect it.

It's only a small download about 10mb or so.

sorry bud, but thats no the NXE. Its a beta. The real one is 128mb. I've got the beta on a second console and its not the full version.

No as far as I can tell it's the final v2.0.7357.0

The Beta was released earlier but I didn't bother with that one.

The 128mb download is just for the Avatars and I 'think' you need to connect to Live to get that.

Major Nelson said, on his podcast this week, that the update isn't on the website yet, but it will be, though he didn't give a date. He said there were reasons why it couldn't be put up yet, so be patient. It will be up there eventually. Keep an eye on majornelson.com
