    I was turning on and off a lot last night trying to get it. I plugged it in this morning and turned on instant power mode and turned it off and left it for about 10 minutes, if you see a yellow light on the break it means its been updated. If its still white the update hasnt been downloaded.

    I checked for the update last night and there was nothing, so I left it mains connected (I power it off from a remote socket nomally) & in instant on mode. I got up this morning around 8 and when I powered on the update started. It's nice to have the battery indicator and disc usage indicators back, now when the hell are they gonna sort out the audio, particularly for TV pass through.

    What's wrong with the audio?

    A couple of minor annoyances - no 5.1 from the Sky box as it needs optical, none from the 360 through the HDMI in either though. Then there's an 80ms delay when watching Blu Rays; although I know this can happen with any AV device. They're supposed to bringing Dolby support soon, but it's another thing that should have been there from the beginning.

    Sure while I'm at it - it worked at launch a few times but "Xbox on" hasn't worked for me since no matter how I say it (it is enabled to do so as is 'instant on'). I also have my TV & Amp set to turn off/on along with the Xbox; if either is already powered on when I boot up the console they get shut down instead!

    The update kicked in downloading in the middle of Titanfall download - still waiting for titanfall to complete downloading because of it (I'm not at all bitter :))


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    Still nothing here either, even setting it to instant on earlier didn't help :confused:


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,789 ✭✭✭nicklauski


    I was playing mine earlier this morning. Turned it off. Noticed it power itself on and then back off about 15 minutes later. Turned it on and the update started to install. I had over 50% used on my hard drive and i only had about 4/5 games installed.
    Had to turn off the game DVR as well. My god it ruined everygame of fifa for me. "Game clip recorded" Jaysis the keeper only caught the ball!
    Got an invite to the Titanfall Beta too, e mail only came through this afternoon, so if you're panicking about a code, I'd hold out. I didn't think i was getting in.

    Is there anywhere that outlines what we get with USB Keyboard support now? So far all i can see thats changed is , the tab and enter keys work like in windows, ctrl + a etc does too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,192 ✭✭✭✭drunkmonkey


    It's there at the moment I'm at about 15% downloaded


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,413 ✭✭✭Stab*City


    Got the update. Handy battery feature by pressing the home button while at home. Also USB keyboard support. Also spotted honda legends car pack free download in the store!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,492 ✭✭✭Shred



    Well holy crap, I didn't realise they'd finally done that, nice one I'll give it a spin!

    Edit: I didn't realise it because it isn't enabled on my box for some reason, I'll give Sky a shout.


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,192 ✭✭✭✭drunkmonkey


    When is Dolby digital 5.1 over optical due, there's no mention of it in this update.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,492 ✭✭✭Shred


    It's expected to be in the March update:

    That's good but we still need a way to tell in game

    And warning or other visual indicator to know when they are getting low without having to check like the guide button spinning on the 360 pad.

    he question was related to the use of cloud tech and what/any example we see from Titalfall points to what it could be used for by all games in the future. Felt it was an Xbox One question as opposed to a TitanFall specific one.

    Cheaper digital prices are incoming.

    See here.

    My guess is that these sales will become more frequent rather than a drop in price for all games.
