[OFFICIAL] X360 Dashboard/Game Updates

[deepfriedmario]

yeah, i know. i mean, i'm pretty excited for it too but what i'm saying is resetting the xbox over and over again cannot possibly be good for the console. but it looks like the update is out with others saying they've gotten it.

[drunknmunkyuk]

I only reset it once in the end and it prompted me with the update first time around. Just tried DivX....its definitely showing the files but lost connection with my PC when i tried playing it!?

[Pheee]

Confirmed in UK I got update. Try now.

Like it so far.

[drunknmunkyuk]

Got the DivX to work now. Had to reset the console and download codec update when trying to play the vid :D

[Phantom Limb]

Blah. Still nothing.

[deepfriedmario]

well i just checked and got prompted when i went back to the dashboard after playing guitar hero 3

[drunknmunkyuk]

Damn you Xbox!

Now I need to buy myself a cooling unit coz I can see my X360 being switched on for a whooooole lot longer :D lol

Got the DivX to work now. Had to reset the console and download codec update when trying to play the vid :D

I don't have any Divx videos but my Xvid will NOT play.

[drunknmunkyuk]

or maybe it even is Xvid, im not sure. All i know is of the 50 or so avi's Ive copied to my shared videos folder have all worked. Im not too sure what codecs they're actually using tbh. It might just be that all the stuff ive converted has used the codec that works and I got lucky? Maybe there'll be quite a few that wont work if thats the case?

[MikeFu84]

Well I tried playing them through MCE. Maybe thats the problem. Will try putting one on the machine itself.

EDIT: Put some files on my external HDD and they DO play. They just will NOT play through MCE.

You have to stream from WMP11 or Zunesoft to play XVID/DIVX from PC I thought, they're not supported on 360 media center still.

[Kushan]

Yes, Media Centre is not supported, people.

[NoLiMiT06]

How are you able to use a ext hd? Does it have to be formatted a certain way?

[Kushan]

FAT32.

[NoLiMiT06]

Ahh well poo....It's already formatted to NTFS and it has all my files on it :(

[LightIdea]

Move some files off the drive, use Partition Magic to format the free space to FAT32.

Move the files back onto FAT32....

Rinse and repeat.

gotta say inside xbox is an awesome idea...just hope they update often.

Inside Xbox has been updated very frequently in the US and Asia (13 updates for US and 10 for Asia) both of which have actual presenters and videos showing the new features etc. The UK gets some cheesy lame avatar Acey Bongo? and it hasnt been updated at all, does MS think that UK/EU are retarded or something that we need cartoon characters and dont even bother to update anyway?

[Kushan]

It's a widely known fact that the 3 big companies (Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft) all hate Europe.

Sony gives Europe the crippled PS3's first, Nintendo screws people out by giving them a ****ty online store to redeem their gold stars on (The Japanese get some awesome stuff, we get crap), Microsoft gives us Acey Bongo and they ALL give it to us later than everywhere else.

Oh well. I'm more annoyed that we didn't get a "free stuff" tab!

[neoadorable]

really? i thought this was universal? MS, quit dropping the ball like that, make everything global!!!

[Smashing Pumpkin]

Yeah i want the Free Stuff tab too!

F You I won't do what you tell me!

[deepfriedmario]

least you do have inside xbox. we don't.

In it's current UK state I would rather have the free stuff tab than Inside Xbox, mind you MS would probably charge use 20 MSPs to open the tab :(
