Just remember that tomorrow a Halo 3 update is coming out. I believe it's a temp playlist update and the new maps costing 800 markplace points. Get em while they are hot tomorrow. They will be free next year in the spring.

[Lexcyn]

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

Same with Canada. And probably the only reason why we won't get it is because they have to be able to translate everything to French as well as English.

Is anyone having a problem with the new video update? I've been watching a few videos, until a few minutes ago when it decided to cease playback and say the content is not supported and throw at me the following error code: 69-8007045D

Now the annoying thing is it won't play any videos now including the ones i've played already, AHHHHHHH!!! I've just deleted and re-downloaded the media update and it still refuses to play the video files. Damn, DAMN, DAMNNNN, *shakes fist at microsoft*

edit, a few reboots later and a stern word between me and my console, it's now playing videos again.

touch wood!

Im not gettign that error, but I am getting another error 53-C00DF237 saying connection lost with PC and make sure I am running media sharing software? This happens on specific files, so I have moved them and tried again, same thing :(

[ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm]

i'm getting a different error than you, because i'm playing from the console, not streaming from pc.

Huge VF5 360 patch released today

Brings saved online replays, online tweaks and a wealth of other new features

Sega has released a patch for Virtua Fighter 5 on 360, introducing a wealth of new gameplay options, tweaks and bug fixes.

Save-able online replays, extended costume options, an online rematch option for public players, and overall tweaking of the online component of the game are just some of the effects of applying the new patch.

Here's the full list of changes:

Some characters will now be able to select costume-specific pants in alternate costumes, for example equipping Costume A pants in Costume B.

Replays of online battles can now be saved.

One additional item per character (appear as "Downloaded item" in Costume settings/Item edit dialog).

Gamer pictures will now be shown in online battles.

After winning the World Tournament Final, it's now more likely that rivals you have not defeated will be playing in arcades.

When someone joins an online match, you can now see their connection quality.

Various fixes for minor bugs, including a texture bug.

Easier sorting of rankings.

Rematches in Online VS. Player Matches now possible even when the players haven't added their opponent to their friend list

Just boot up the game while logged into Xbox Live to receive the update automatically, as usual.

Seems to be some update to the dashboard. The friends and messages icons have been combined into one, and where the message icon used to be there is now "inside Xbox" with all kinds of news and things. Kind of useless IMO, but I guess they are trying to build a community kind of thing.

It just appeared for me now. Wasn't part of the fall update for me. Maybe it's just rolling out to us Canadians?

I don't think you guys got the Inside Xbox feature initially, so perhaps you're right.

I just went to the Inside Xbox website and here's what it says:

</h4>

<h4>How can I see Inside Xbox?

Sign in to Xbox LIVE and select Inside Xbox on the Xbox LIVE blade. Inside Xbox is currently available only in the U.S., U.K., and Japan. It will be available in more regions in coming months.

So it must have just been finally released in Canada I guess. Mystery solved :laugh:

RockBand DLC Update

A few songs we have released for DLC have been patched. The patches are live already on the 360, and go live on PS3 on the 28th. Online play/leaderboards/ranking are not affected by this. To get the updated DLC songs you can re-download them (directions at bottom of post). You won't be punished for not downloading them again, however, as the fixes have no effect on gameplay.

The following songs have incorrect genre tags which cause them to be lost when sort by genre in-game:

Title/Launch Date

?Can?t Stand Losing You? 20-Nov

?Roxanne? 20-Nov

?Synchronicity II? 20-Nov

?Police Pack 01? 020-Nov

?Brass in Pocket? 18-Dec

Also there was a bug where the vocals wouldn?t turn off when the user put them the whole way down but this has been fixed now! -

?Limelight? 1-Jan

How to re-download-

Xbox 360

Navigate to the System Blade ( purple ), select memory, all devices, games, Rock Band, search for any of the listed songs (right trigger is a page down ), select the song with the A button, and then select Delete.

Now either re-download from marketplace, or from the download history.

Call of Duty 4 just asked me to update...whats new in this update?

[GNRambo]

Call of Duty 4 just asked me to update...whats new in this update?

Just got this update as well, going to do a bit of research. Ill post back in a bit.

Potentially, the most sought after fix was host migration. While adding nothing to the overall experience of the game it does act as a virtual Advil for fixing an head-pounding annoyance. Originally, when the host would leave a multiplayer session all players would be booted back to the main menu of the game. With the new host migration feature the game selects a new host and while the map will restart, groups will be able to stay together.

Host Migration - Host migration was added, so now when the host leaves you won?t get dropped back to your own lobby by yourself. Everyone will stay together. Host Leaves, everyone returns to lobby, selects next best host, and the game starts up again. No more re-inviting, re-partying up because a host ended the game.

What? You go back to the lobby and lose all the progress on the game, it's not a true host migration? That kinda sucks... I guess it helps with enforcing even teams, but it's a shame if you've already gone through a good 10 minute game and at the end the host quits and you lose all that:(:(

well i was playing yesterday and when the host quit, it actually just changed the host half way through the game without exiting to the lobby :s

You can connect to live all you want, but if you try to play a copied game on it, you run the risk of getting banned.
