i'm confused...so there's an update, but there are also no changes? what exactly is it doing?

Pretty much. I think it just opens a pipeline for developers to be able to release their patches once they are approved by microsoft. This would explain the horrible absence of title updates over the past few months as developers might not have been able to release them. I also hope this means clan support will finally be available through Xbox Live. Anyways, we will know if call of duty 2, doa 4, or pdz get patched soon. I'm betting they do before Graw hits because i have a theory MS was holding back patches to keep the launch games selling once new ones started hitting :o

Updated, with some of my thoughts lol

But what if your clan sucks in one game and you want to join another clan for that game? :laugh:

Yea, I think that's one of the main reasons why they didn't do clans. Usually you select your clan based on their skill level in a specific game. I don't see any benefit at all in having a game-independant clan system. I'm sure it's easy to implement a clan system in Xbox 360 games, however, with the new XNA/Xbox Live SDK.

Then you've found yourself a rare clan. Congratulations. (Y)

yeah, but chances are it would be huge. It would be known as a good clan and would pick the best from each game. But it would be held in high regard when ever you play with someone from that clan cause well you know they are good.

Yes, but again, how many of those clans would exist successfully? If a clan really is that good then it's members would be recognized as being really good if they are from such a well known clan, even if it is just in one game. I don't know, it's just my opinion, but I don't really see the point in global clans. Maybe if there were global clans where you can also have game-dependant clans at the same time, but that might get messy/confusing. Ah, who knows.

I allmost freaked out when I saw that after the patch was installed I was prompted to choose a place where to save my profile, I thought for a second that everything was erased.

It's also great that I could reset my stats as I got glitched to SS and it would have taken days to get back to C+.

i would, but i dont have a router, so i need to find a few more metres of cable before i can connect it to my pc to share internet

I see, but if all you want is the update, then just move your 360 for a few mins while you get the update and then put everything back, eh? :)

I just read this.

The System Update will also be distributed in upcoming game discs, magazine discs, and even through the retail kiosks.

well, i eventuall managed to connect to live. I had to use two scart cables, an old video player as a link between them, two ethernet cables, and a power lead extension thing. But I finally connected it! Then i spent an hour trying to get it to connect, it got stuck on teh DNS part. But i eventually got it to work, and even had a quick game of COD2 before someoen tripped and yanked teh wire out :p

Why not get a router of some sorts (maybe wireless if it's normally too far), you can usually find really good Wireless Router/Wireless Ethernet Adapter deals for pretty cheap online.

    • The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months

      By sphbecker · Posted

      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 hellowalkman · Posted

      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.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      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.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault

      By sphbecker · Posted

      "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
