You can update the dashboard all you want, it'll be fine. You can even connect to Live and update it that way, just don't have a copied game in the disk drive when you do it.

Just to clarify (and not that I should be telling you this, but anyway) if you ever have a copied game in the drive, do NOT connect to live. Even if you remove the disk, be sure to RESET your console before you connect to live (and by connect to live, I'm talking about signing in on the dashboard).

Well the fall update was a bitlate and fairly comprehensive.

I think most of the requests that made sense was done for the fall update so I guess people aren't speculating as much outside of improving on what was added, and maybe some new cool stuff that noone ever thought of :)

Well all I'm hoping for is 5.1 support when decoding h.264 video. At the moment, it only does 2 channels :(

MKV support would rock.

I'm guessing it'll be late again this time because the last one was so late, but you never know.

I would like MKV support added aswell as that would be ssweet but i wouldn't hold my breath to be fair.

Thing i would like included with the Spring update;

# Intergrated Web browser.

# The ability to read emails from your Windows Live account.

# MKV video support.

# Animationed backgrounds (also able to use your own videos would be cool etc)

# Support more resolutions such as 1440x900 and 1680x1050

Would mind a newer animation for achievement unlocks and friends signing in. The one on PC looks far more cleaner.

Can't think of anymore right now.

Apparently they've already got a web browser working in their labs, but it's not really all that useful (apparently) and I'm inclined to agree for the most part. But then again, my 360 is right beside my PC anyway, if I had it in the living room it might be different.

Dunno, I've yet to be dissapointed by any of the 360 updates.

but then again I never expec them to add support for a piracy format like mkv either (face it, there aren't any legitimate stuff using mkv, sure it's a nice container but...)

the closest would be the lack of 5.1 support in h264 but...it's not exactly something I cry to much over since they also actually added divx support, and I got an actual media center now :)

Well the very same could be said about DivX/XviD and there's a lot MORE of those files floating around.

I think for proper MKV support, actual subtitle support would be needed as well, so that's probably one of the reasons they haven't bothered yet.

More resolutions would be nice, too.

I know that's why I also said I didn't expect them to add xvid. though xvid has gotten a lot of use nowadays in more legal ways. Especially in trailers and such. kv hasn't come to this level. but then divx has a relatively professional company behind it, wich has done all it could to push for more legal uses of DivX and gotten it as almost a standard support in dvd players.

and I'm pretty sure the 360 support subtitles in some way, well through the MCE anyway if you stream stuff(like tv channels form a MC box). but the real use for mkv wouldn't be subtitles as much as the the wider support it was for video stream and audio stream compatibilities. if you want 5.1 sound without using mp3 you're pretty much stuck with mkv. outside of using wmv anyway.

One of my favourite things about MKV was it's subtitle support, as well as the fact that the file could have separate audio tracks. Perfect for Anime, which typically comes with both the English and Japanese audio as well as English subs (fun to put English audio and English subs on at the same time to see how completely different they are lol).

    • 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

      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.
