[OFFICIAL] X360 Dashboard/Game Updates

how do i check the dshboard version?

System Blade > Console Settings > System Info (Bottom One).

Quick question how do I make sure that it is in 1080p mode? When you connect the VGA it doesn't tell you. It just gives the resolution.

Uhh, i'm not sure if I understand exactly what you mean, but if you have it set to the 1920x1080 resolution, you should be in 1080p mode.

Hmmm. Ok. Funny thing about my tv is that when I use the vga cables it never fills up the whole screen. There are bars on the left, right, top and bottom. Also thought I use to beable to put it in that res before the update came out. Maybe I'm just paranoid.

some TVs limit the resolution through the VGA port... I know my tv supports 1080i through HDMI and Component but not VGA

my tv only supports 1080i, so the 1080p is kind of useless to me right now. the update isn't all that great in my eyes (appearance wise) just the marketplace looks different to me.. but i like the improvements and hard work they put into it (Y)(Y)(Y)

hehehe... :shifty: :whistle:

what you see on the fall update is just a placeholder for what's coming to the 360 and all it did was just to layout the plumbing for something that will catch everybody pants down...

muhahahahahahaaaa!!!!! :devil:

like hell ill be caught with my pants down....last time it almost put me in the drunk tank for a night

when will we know spartan?

I don't know if I have something setup wrong, but my DVDs only play in 4:3 mode. I have my 360 set in 1080i mode and the rest of the content plays normally in 16:9 mode. I thought that this update was going to upconvert DVDs. Also, I'm using the component cables to connect to my tv.

Unfortunately, MS can't allow upconversion over component cables. If your TV has a VGA input you can always use the VGA cable.

Yes, an HDMI cable is needed. But it would probably be a MS only one that costs $100. Until then, I will have to settle for a separate DVD player that upconverts.

What about the games man!? :p Doesn't matter to me, but I'm sure a lot of 1080p HDTV owners want the HDMI cable simply for gaming.

I have HDMI but don't need it. My VGA does everything it can do.

thats great... but most of the 1st generation 1080p HDTVs that came out only support the 1080p through HDMI...(even the 1080p TV that are out now very few support 1080p over component..) even worse my sony tv cripples the VGA input to low as hell resolutions...

I'd pay $100 for an HDMI cable as long as it works. ;)

$100 isn't really much when you're trying to get the most out of your $2,000 HDTV investment.

Now if they someone could make an adapter that would allow you to use your own HDMI cable, that would be best.

I got this wierd thing after the update. My wireless controller with a battery pack seems to run a friggin light show on the ring of light. Every now and then (60 secs or less) the lights in the four corners are lit then goes back to normal. Seems to drain the battery too. :(

Wish you wouldn't do that, makes me more excited about whats in store for the Xbox further down the line :(

    • "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.
