[OFFICIAL] X360 Dashboard/Game Updates

[Remysaus]

not really something I'm going to use, maybe for screwing my brother when he wants to play on the xbox when i'm not at home. :p

but it's a great feat. for parents with young kids yes.

My parents would have loved this when I was younger :laugh:

The parental timer is genius... There will probably be a lot of parents really happy to use it!

Bioshock Update

The next time you play BioShock and you are connected to Xbox LIVE, you’ll be prompted to accept a title update. I asked 2K and Irrational what it contains, and here is what they told me:

Update improves stability when loading autosaves and overall game stability, corrects audio during title menu loading, and addresses AI behaviors regarding use of health stations.

So there ya go.

what does that post say? i can't load the page.

what does that post say? i can't load the page.

It's just a small system update being rolled out for the Scene-It controller. Nothing exciting.

First off, let me get this out of the way right up front:

This is not the ‘fall dashboard update.’

Today the team is releasing a minor system update via Xbox Live. Over the next few hours, when you sign in to Xbox LIVE, you’ll receive a prompt to accept this mandatory update. What’s in this update? Much like the update last month, the only thing this minor release will do is prepare your Xbox 360 for the Big Button Pad that is being released this holiday. Why do we need to release this update now? Simple: The certification team needs time to test the new controller against the retail hardware/software combination before it hits stores.

One more thing: no new features beyond this big button pad support are included in this update and, once again, this is not the ‘fall dashboard upgrade.’ When I have firm details on the next major update, I will share them.

Helps if you post the news & link robpears :p

[zerolimit]

anyone know when the Fall Update is comming ...

[OtRaS]

I vagely rember the the end of this month, may be wrong.

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

anyone know when the Fall Update is comming ...

Last year the Fall Update was released on October 31st, so it could be around that time. We didn't have any notice until a few days before.

Team Fortess 2 update is coming soon as well.

[Reeg]

Is there anyway to find out what's going to be in the Fall Update before they release it?

[magik]

They usually announce what's coming well before the update. I can't imagine why they've been so quite lately. Maybe there is no update??? :cry:

BTW, Major Nelson's new web design really sucks. :x
