Xbox 360 Fall Update

[Spartan_X]

MS shud have atleast announced something, like what might be included etc, pretty sure there were loads of things out about the spring update months before it actually came out

because that update was more about the things you can do with your console, this new update is more about what you can do with your media... if you know what I mean... :whistle:

[Lexcyn]

Xbox Live video marketplace in Canada? Maybe? :( Because I doubt the CRTC would allow IPTV on the XBOX, unfortunately.

[+virtorio MVC]

who needs codecs when you can have full access to IPTV?

When your countries internet infrastructure is a pile of slow, overpriced and unreliable dog s**t.

And also when it hard to justify paying a premium price for the wireless networking adapter.

Like Decent Mpeg4 support with 5.1?

and everyone's favourite Xvid and Dvix?

oh yea and make external drives read large NTFS drives, instead of just FAT and HFS+

Otherwise who cares.

[zerolimit]

well i guess we have to wait till next month. I just hope we get divx/xvid support for FREE! I know everyone wants it but to charge? If its less then 800 points its cool!

[Reeg]

Please tell me they added more resolutions for LCD users!!

[.Markus]

^ +1! :)

[zerolimit]

720p is fine! What more resolution do you need?

[Reeg]

I know it is, but currently for widescreen LCD users using the VGA cord we only get 2 resolutions that look decent (I forget what they are). I want to be able to utilize my monitor with my 360 and be able to get 1680x1050 in the Dashboard. That would be really nice!

[Rahul]

YAY we will be getting an Xbox Live Marketplace in India for Indian & Western content staring this 5th of November.

Now just add DivX & Subtitle support to it & i can get rid of my Xbox

[Noveed]

i would love it if i could somehow get 1080p through my Bravia via VGA cable but i doubt it will happen, i hear bravias cannot do 1080p through VGA at all, my laptop does not even show that resolution when connected to TV.

[Ayepecks]

720p is fine! What more resolution do you need?

Read the thread: 16:10 resolutions, e.g. 1440 x 900.

[zerolimit]

im sure if they just add divx/xvid support we will all be happy

[Ayepecks]

I'd be happy, but I'd still want 16:10 support -- as many in the community do (read the Xbox.com forum).

[AlphaPrime]

I don't care about any other feature apart from 16:10 support (AKA, the ability to add black bars at the top and bottom of a 16:9 image so it doesn't stretch).

^^^ Subbtitle support in the Divx/Xvid avi's? Cuz, subs in those are hardcoded in, so you don't need any extra support like a splitter etc. And I don't think they're going to add support for mkv's anytime soon.

[zerolimit]

MKV willl never be supported!

[Reeg]

It would be heaven sent if they added MKV support.

[Flash]

16:10 support is a must

[Reeg]

16:10 support is a must

Co-signed!

[Neo003]

When is this update coming anyway, are there any official word on this or people are just spreding rumors.

[zerolimit]

No Official word on the update! still waiting for someone to give us a little hope :(

[HawkMan]

It would be heaven sent if they added MKV support.

though mkv isn't really a format as such.

[George P Global Moderator]

It's a container just like OGM/MP4 and even AVI. But for MKV you'll need to support a splitter etc, though the 360 plays DVDs with multiple audio/sub tracks so supporting MKV with that same sorta thing isn't really hard imo.

[Malbojia]

I gotta wonder if theirs gonna be an update at all, or they'll just wait till the spring update. But heres me wishlist.

Fluid Dashboard interaction. No laggy laggy crap.

H.264, if they're cheap just implement X.264 Advance profile. Maybe 5.1 level with AAC LC.

Re-organize those damn blades. It's a mess to navigate through. Hell Gamepad short-cuts to take you to the section you want to. One better allow custom assignment.
