And now it says 133 minutes remaining :cry:

As others said, just heavy traffic .KICK, to be expected, can't really be helped.

If I were you I'd grab the NXE leak on your PC, install it, then let it update. You'll have less to download :yes:

Being on Virgin Media doesn't help matters for me either :(

I'll keep waiting though.

I am on Virgin media.

But also schools are out, so the thousands of teenagers are updating now.

@AudioBoxer, he already has that first part, this is the second part that you dont avoid with getting the leak.

I believe they are premium themes and not free.

There is one free GOW 2 Theme, called something like Last Day, it's about the last day on the surface ebfore they go underground.

I'm using the new theme that comes with NXE spotlight or whatever it's called, they're all really cool anyway!

@ your edit, no its not that XBL is slow, his connection is just really lame and Virgin won't do anything about it. Please, this isn't PSN we're talking about :rolleyes:

I edited for a reason, it was a mistake to stoop to your level of jokes.

My bad.

How odd. Then again you're not missing much. I doubt that GOW fans would really be that enthused about paying for a theme in which we see the main charecters basically clutching their teddy bears and picking daisy, all starry eyed before they go underground and shed a single tear for their clearly heavenly surface lives. It's not that great.

Two things I'd like:

- Make the "My Xbox" channel the default one, even when connected to live. I hate "Spotlight" being the default. I get it's advertising, but let us set what channel we want as default.

- I hope eventually that they'll give us the option to be able to permanently download updates for games.

Two of my hopes. Still love the NXE (Y) Once I get home for Thanksgiving I'll try it on my monitor with 1440 x 900 and see how that looks :) Using it on my TV at my dorm right now.

Just updated, its really nothing special.

Give it some time.

You'll see how great it is.

Welp.

I just finished watching an episode of Dead Like Me Season 1 via Netflix streaming to my 360.

It's WONDERFUL.

It works flawlessly.

Not really sure what you mean about "Permanently download updates for games"? When I download the updates, they stay downloaded until I clear the cache of my HDD, do you have to download them every single time or something?

The 360 downloads updates to the cache, but only for something like your last 3 games played. So, say you've played 4 games, all of them have updates, it only saves the last 3, so if you go back to the fourth last played one you have to update again.

Just a small thing I find annoying. Nit-picky, I know, just something I hope they allow.

Ahhh, I guess I haven't hit that problem yet. Maybe you should just clear your cache? From looking at your profile, you don't play THAT many different games these days, may as well have updates installed for the latest ones.
