The Lost Planet trailer that got released on the Marketplace during the Bringing It Home campaign has now been extended with added clips of the single and multiplayer side of things. There is also now a message right at the end for all those that bothered to view it right through (and come on, why wouldn?t you?). It seems a multiplayer demo is on the way!

The video is worth anyones time. It isn?t very long, and right at the end of the video it displays a coded message. After deciphering it, it reads ?Multiplayer demo coming Winter 2006″ (the code is actually words in French). They have already given us a single player demo which, while it took some getting used to (for me), was actually hugely enjoyable. So with a multiplayer demo on its way, everyone can then truely make an informed decision as to whether to get the game or not, since we would have tried all the main parts of the game! Lets just hope that it isn?t as bad as the Prey multiplayer demo; now that didn?t warrant a purchase!

Backwards compatible Mode? More games?

Today, the Xbox team released a mandatory update for the Xbox 360 dashboard. This free update, is now available over Xbox Live. There are no new features in this release, but rather a series of fixes and enhancements. Some of the items the update addresses are:

  • Improved logic around deciding if saved games should be deleted and offer the option to only delete the profile and to leave all save data.
  • Users reporting blank Friends List on the Xbox 360 dash after muting a friend while playing a game in
  • Backwards Compatibility mode.
  • Improved synching of games played to Web and in console.
  • Network settings: keyboard does now allow entry of - (dash) character in the keyboard.

Still on the old patch im afraid... Patience is a virtue?

I am off from work these next two days so I am actually home, and my question is this update supposed to just happen automatically?

I just fired up my 360, I am in the dashboard signed into Live and nothing has updated on it's own.

Do I have to go somewhere to get it?

TIA

Also oddcrap, where did you get that Signatre for your gamer card?

I like the design way better than the one I am using now.

This is what im wondering,, i even played a game on xbox live to see if i would get the update.. nope. ,, all the sites say that its avaliable tho.

Same I didn't recieve an update either.

Strange.

I checked the Marketplace, Arcade (for no good reason I might add) Signed Out of Live manually they Signed in again and I still do not see anything.

For the people who got it did it let you know there was an update?

Or did it just update it in the background?

The reason I asked is when I first fired the 360 up, it did take about 2 minutes to pop up and say I was signed into Live. But it said nothing at all about an update or anything like that.

I signed out of simon286 and signed in as simeandrews (I own both accounts, simeandrews didn't keep my gamerscore when I set it up, so I changed my simon profile to a name that would be available). I got the update instantly, but Star Wars Battlefront still doesn't work :cry:

Thanks. (Y)

And still no update here. signed in and out about 5 times.

Who knows really what is going on.

I guess I will get it when I get it.

Have you tried turning off your xbox completely, or played a game on live instead of just signing out? I just turned mine on when I got home and it automatically popped up a sexy box :huh:

    • "The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months¨ I'd prefer to see the lowest price in over a year
    • Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.
    • The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The tech specs are given below: Specification TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 2TB Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Interface PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 Form Factor M.2 2280 M.2 2280 Controller InnoGrit Controller Samsung In-house Controller NAND Flash 3D TLC 3D TLC DRAM Cache None (HMB supported) 2GB LPDDR4 Sequential Read (Max) 5,000 MB/s 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write (Max) 4,500 MB/s 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4K) Up to 600,000 IOPS Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4K) Up to 700,000 IOPS Up to 1,550,000 IOPS TBW (Endurance) 1,300 TBW 1,200 TBW MTBF 3,000,000 hours 1,500,000 hours Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C -40°C to 85°C Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5ms 1,500G / 0.5ms Heatsink Patented Graphene Heat Spreader No Get them at the links below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) TEAMGROUP T-Force G50 2TB SSD (TM8FFE002T0C129): $279.99 (Sold by TeamGroup, Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • If you can't spell a simple word that 2nd graders learn, your entire argument is suspect.
    • And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
