I am assuming that unless I click sign up for messenger on the 360 (I already use messenger on my pc) that no one will see my status?

Should I get the sign up for messenger box?

Also, what are the reference levels? There are 3 but I don't know that each does.

What is this reference level in the display settings. Don't really understand what it does... I just know expanded looks a hell of a lot better on my monitor.

as far as I know it was added so that users who are getting a washed out colour experience with the VGA cable can adjust some settings to get a better picture.

Dark made a post about it but i guess we could just merge it with this thread.....

Seems it's just a stability thing:

That's from January of 2006

When will people learn to read and understand that news from 1.3 years ago is not news.

I don't know about anybody else, but these reference level settings made a huge difference for me (40" Samsung LCD, HDMI, 720p).

And I know it's just a little thing, but the orange for the Marketplace blade is perfect! It's vibrant, but not too bright. It looks great.

Overall, this is a great update so far.

I hope this doesn?t sound like a stupid question but how do remove your msn email once you have added it on the 360?

I?ve removed my password but then whenever I turn the Xbox on it pops up saying it can?t sign in to msn.

Yep setting reference levels to expanded on my 40" inch Sony Bravia LCD made things a lot more vibrant using the VGA connection. It looked a bit washed out before compared to using component connection. Am very happy now I can have upscaled DVDs and vibrant colours :)

Can't use Live Messenger on a "Child Account", even though I'm 18 - Christ.

Same for me :(, i made a new account just to get it, couldnt find a way around the 'child' account. :p doubt i'll stick with it... so many points lost!!!

Well...4,000 was a lot for me :D

I would have thought MS would be able to make child accounts go to normal accounts when that person turns 18 lol.

I can accept MS putting in there for childrens safety, but since you only have to be 13 to use WLM legally on PC, why is this any different. I think MS should make it so there's a parental control option for it, and not just blanket not allow it for under 18's.

I installed the update and afterward fired up Catan... the game froze in the first few seconds and I had to restart the 360. Tried playing Gears of War, got a bunch of strange green checkerboard patterns and screeching noises. After the 2nd restart the console wouldn't display anything, and every time after that it displayed 3 red rings no matter what I did.

I waited maybe 30 minutes, turned the 360 on, and haven't had any problems so far (although haven't had time to test thoroughly)... Does this mean my 360's days are numbered?

Mmm... Downloaded the Crackdown packs (both) and trying to start Crackdown with them but it says the contents are either invalid or corrupted. Anyone else having this problem? I re-downloaded them but still not able to get them to work. :|

Ditto.

I made the post as soon as I saw them up. But dammit they don't work. Thanks Microsoft!

Edit: Okay it looks like deleting the download, clearing my 360's cache, and the downloading again got Free-for-All working. Haven't bought the other pack yet.

Yeah, looks like after deleting the past download and re-downloading it seems to work. Now time to enjoy some Crackdown.
