[Official] New Xbox Experience (or Fall 2008 Update)


Recommended Posts

Was about to post that. If someone needed proof that Sony as a company is bad :p it's this. **** them.

Oh come on, people, if Microsoft owned a publishing company like Sony does, they'd do the same thing.

Besides, the company responsible for this, although owned by sony, operates almost entirely independantly. There's still Sony-owned IP's on the 360.

I doubt it. Generally companies that are competing in one aspect of business are perfectly happy working together on others. Sony's Colombia Pictures isn't competing with the Xbox 360 so there's no reason for this.

Actually they ARE competing now. Don't forget, Sony launched their own video marketplace just after E3.

No. The Console divisions of both companies are competing. That's it. Sony's movie divisions are not competing with anything of Microsofts and it doesn't make sense to say that they are in competition over this. Why would Sony pull that from the system. They can offer their **** up on both video marketplaces and it doesn't even matter which one someone buys it from - Sony gets money off of it.

thats not columbia though.

As said, generally, companies are willing to work together unless their competing with each other in that specific area.

Its why toshiba and sony were working together with the cell, but fighting each other with HDDVD and Bluray at the same time.

Kushan don't post sensible things, you know the only acceptable reply is to say "**** Sony".

Get with the times :rolleyes:

It's not ideal for 360 owners no, but it's hardly suprising. Nintendo recently blocked Goldeneye, a single game, from even getting to MS.

For now, however, Sony Pictures Entertainment films available for streaming through Netflix — including “Superbad,” “We Own The Night” and others — will remain blocked on Xbox 360, until Sony says otherwise.

Some are available, maybe others will come.

Hey guys, THE NXE IS OUT!

Well, sort of! If you installed the "Leaked" update, you can NOW connect back to live and download the rest of it, the restriction has been lifted. Apparently things are going slow, it's possible they haven't allocated server bandwidth yet or it's just going to get worse come the official release, either way I'd advise people to get stuck in NOW!

Make no mistake about it. If the shoes were on the other foot then all the same. People would be **** Microsoft just as well and you know it. So don't even try to play that card. :p

Microsoft don't own any movie studios.

Just seems like they want their own movies exclusive to their system.

I don't believe it's the case for renting movies on marketplace, it's just Netflix right?

edit: I read it properly

"As watching instantly becomes a more prominent part of the Netflix service, our goal is to have all of our streaming content licensed for all of our partner devices. We're doing well in this area, but it will take some time before we fully achieve that goal. Today, titles regularly come in and out of license and there is a natural ebb and flow to what we have on license at any given point in time. In the case of Xbox 360, a few hundred titles are temporarily unavailable to be streamed via the Xbox game console. Those titles are still available to be watched on subscribers' computers and on TVs via other partner devices, and we hope they'll be licensed for Xbox 360 shortly."

Licensing between Sony and Netflix it is, but only to the 360.

In all likliness, it's probably more due to a ToS condition between Sony and Netflix regarding their competitors. Even though they may not (currently) directly compete, chances are someone, somewhere fired off a legal notice and they've taken them off while they renegotiate.

I don't know if you've purposefully ignored my point or just didn't get it, but what I was saying was that if the tables were turned and Microsoft did own a movie studio and Sony made an agreement with a movie distributor to offer their services on their console and Microsoft were to disallow such distribution that people would be angry at Microsoft all the same. Of course, this is all hypothetical because Microsoft doesn't own a movie studio, etc ...

I'm sure that will happen as well. Sony is simply going to ask for more money and all we can hope for is that NetFlix agrees. When/if that does happen, I will definitely be getting a NetFlix subscription.

Hmm...I've been patiently waiting for this, but I guess there's no point in waiting anymore. Was I right in thinking that you could install the update VIA thumb drive? If so, then I'll finally be joining the club tonight.

Extract the rar so you have a folder called $systemupdate, put that FOLDER on a USB thumb drive, so you have X:\$systemupdate with a file inside that folder.

Then just plug it into your 360 and when you turn it on, it'll ask you to update. It wont brick your system unless you do something silly (like turn it off mid-update). All these updates are signed by Microsoft, there's no way to create a "bad" one that the 360 will install.

I can confirm this to be true! I just installed the update from my flash drive and when I signed into my account, it prompted me to update.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
